Help with Homemade Gift Ideas for Your Boyfriend

The following is a list of homemade gift ideas for your boyfriend. Many of them do not require any special skills and only a limited amount of creativity. You don't have to follow a pattern or instructions, all you need is to follow your heart and make something that shows how much you love him.

• Memory box

Go to a craft store and purchase a plain memory box or use a shoebox. Decorate your box with whatever you like such as stickers, paint, felt, and yarn, write a love poem or quotes, or place a loving picture of the both of you on it. On the inside, you can put mementos of your times together such as pictures, concert or amusement park ticket stubs -- anything that will remind him of special times you have shared together.

• Scrapbook

Purchase a scrapbook or use construction paper stapled together. Decorate each page with pictures, stickers, special trinkets and don't forget to journal on each page about the picture or your feelings for him.

• Post-it love

Get a big stack of post-it notes or buy separate packs and stick them on top of each other. On each one write a memory, love quote, poem, a feeling you have for him or anything you want him to know about you and your love for him. On the first post-it, write instructions for him to peel one off each day. You could also do this with a desk calendar that he has to rip off each day.

• Make a video

If you know how to use the editing and video software on your computer and have a video of the two of you, you can create a video with music and special effects.

• Create a playlist

Try to take his iPod from him and upload a special playlist you downloaded from Napster or iTunes. Choose songs that remind you of him and ones that you know he would like but hasn't downloaded yet.

• Picture frame

Buy a plain picture frame from a craft store that you can decorate. Put a funny or loving caption on the top or bottom and then place a special picture inside.

• Treasure hunt

You can make this as big or small as you would like. Have him find little treasures all around your town or just in your home and make the big, final treasure - you!

• Romantic evening

Make a special dinner he likes and turn your bathroom into a spa that both of you can enjoy.

• Collage

Create a collage of pictures he can hang on his wall. You can either handwrite or print out a poem to place in the middle and then arrange the photos around it. He can place it on his wall and stare at it for hours thinking about how much he loves you.
