On behalf of my people (men) we are easy to please and appreciate something hand made from the heart. A quick and easy gift I've made lots of with rave reviews is fleece blankets. Buy 2 lengths of fleece a print (team colors, hobby print, etc) and a coordinating solid. Sew them together, cut a decorative edge and you have the perfect blanket for watching tv, camping or going to the game. They look great, wash well and if you get them on sale they are relatively inexpressive.
