This is for my cousin i hardly ever see, but remember him at Christmas. Last year, I made him coasters and matching potholders. He loved them! what can I make small for a man of 31. Also on the inexpensive side about $10-12 range. thanks.

What about a TV remote caddy made with his favorite sports fabric. If he likes to BBQ, maybe a manly apron.

or some microwave bowl potholders--those where a super hit at Christmas.

i thouhgt of the microwave bowl holders, but even when all 100% cotton is used, i've heard of fires.
I'd put in a note not to microw wave for more than 2 minutes at a time.

I also made him Christmas napkins, and a 10 min table runner, along with the coaster and potholders.

When my husband and I were first married we didn't have much cash so I was always trying to find something I could quilt that he might like. His favorite was a guitar strap. He's also a fly fisherman and he loves and still uses the fly wallets I made for him. Even though we can now afford to buy them, he still asks me to make them as gifts for his friends.
