Hi all,

Looking to make a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. Like so many men, he's the kind of person who buys whatever he wants whenever he wants it, so it's hard to buy him material items. I have a few ideas in mind for gifts to buy but I like to incorporate something DIY for every bday/anniversary/holiday.

He likes to mountain bike, ski, climb, camp, etc. I write him letters for every occasion, and I've made a fleece-tie blanket for him in the past, as well as a custom-made chalk bucket from leather. I have leatherworking experience, simple sewing experience, and I've done plenty of crafting in my life. Need some ideas for something creative for Christmas. TIA!

I’m planning to make some DIY gifts and could use some creative ideas. What’s the most memorable or unique handmade gift you’ve created? Whether it’s for a special occasion or just because, I’d love to hear your suggestions and stories!

Appreciate any tips and guidance here!

The goal is to take my art, vectorized, and create a Paint By Sticker book for my partner. Mostly, does anyone know where I would find a company that does custom sticker pages that could work for this purpose? Feeling like I could be in over my head with this one, but I'm hoping not!

Hey everyone,

I recently acquired the domain "hemguide.com" and am exploring potential uses for it. It seems like a great fit for sewing, fashion, or DIY crafts. I’d love to get some feedback or ideas from this community!

What kind of business or resource would you expect to find at "hemguide.com"?

Also, if anyone here is interested in taking this domain off my hands for a project, feel free to reach out. I’m open to discussing possibilities.

Thanks in advance!

My little sister’s senior band season is coming up, and I help at band camp. The parents always give there seniors different gifts. I need some ideas on what to make/ buy for them then. Their show is like heaven/hell themed? It could be keychains, stickers, literally anything. I just need a good description of the idea so I can make it perfect. Thank you 😍

The TV show I am working on is coming to an end soon, and I’d love to be able to thank the entire cast and crew! But because the team is over a 100 people, I’m hoping to DIY a lot of little gifts to keep it budget friendly!

The TV show is set in a hospital, so I’m looking to do a medical themed gift :)

I do have this one idea, and although I think it’s cute, it does seem a touch wasteful haha. I was thinking of buying those orange pill bottles in bulk and filling them with candies and making cute, custom medicine labels with thank yous on it and what not. However, I feel awful about wasting all of those plastic pill bottles! If you have ways to improve on this idea, let me know! I also had thoughts of creating little “bandaids” thank you notes, but I’d prefer to give a little snack/treat/or something with it. But this is the general vibe of what I’m looking to do! Also, I don’t know everyone on a super personal level, so hoping for general crowd pleasing thank you gift!

Thank you in advance for the help!

(Hi everyone! this is my first post ever so I hope I can find some help around here, please be kind)

My gfs birthday is coming up in around 10 days and I had thought about making her a scrapbook. She runs a private ig account where she has been uploading at least one picture of herself and talking about her day everyday for the last three-ish years. She really loves it as she sees it as an online diary, and she has mentioned a couple times that she would really like to have a physical copy of it where she could annotate her thoughts and revisit past times. I thought about printing her daily posts and making a scrapbook with some space for her to add her own comments.

My problem is that, as it turns out, there are more than 3.000 pictures on that account! Although I don't think she wants to keep every picture, there are at least around 400 that I would have to print, cut and paste into the scrapbook all by hand.

I'm open to suggestions about other formats I could try (it doesn't have to be a scrapbook necessarily, just something that results in her having a physical copy of the pictures).

Sorry for the long post, please let me know if you can think of anything and thanks in advance!!

I need a minimal DIY gift idea for my girlfriend suggest me some ideas 🫡

Making a laundry gift basket for a HS grad who is going to be a first year college student next school year. She had registered for a laundry basket so thought I’d make a basket with everything she needs to do laundry. Trying to come up with creative college sayings/tips using some of the brand names I bought (Tide, Downy, Fels-Naptha, Snuggle, Shout). Any ideas? The outside of the gift basket will say “Have LOADS of fun in college.”

Her birthday is in less than a week. I want to give her something diy. I was thinking a small canvas with our picture as the painting (just the shilloute) I am really a beginner at painting. Can you help me with some tricks easy ways to get out picture 's outline on to the canvas.

My friend had a stroke not too long ago, and their leg still hurts from time to time. I want to make a cane for them, I have some steel pipe lying around and thought I could use it. Does anyone have any experience with something like this?

Hi.

This subreddit has been unmoderated and restricted for a while, so no one could post. I just took over the subreddit, and opened it up to the public.

Feel free to post your DiyGifts, no matter if you created them or received them. If you are looking for ideas, feel free to ask here too.

When I was 10, my grandmother bought me a Sea Monkeys growing kit for my birthday. I nagged for two years and finally got my dream gift. Even though I followed all of the steps, nothing hatched, and I was heartbroken. My kid turned 8, and I decided to leave my concerns behind and got him this kit. Before I gave it to him, I had to make sure it works well, no reason to break his heart, right? So I took a deep breath, ordered this kit, and gave it a go. Skeptical, I followed the instructions, and the bastards hatched! So now I actually want to keep this one for myself. #overprotectivedad #badparent

My friends birthday is coming up and she’s obsessed with the vampire diaries. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a diy themed around tvd?? Many thanks

Hi, I am a talentless husband, and need help for my wife's birthday present. I found a three pictured frame (link here on Amazon)

The frame will have pictures from our first date. I'd like to write atop the frame the date of our first date, but don't know the best or most creative way to do it (besides writing in Sharpie). Any easy, simple ideas for how to do this?

Thank you!!
