In need of office gift ideas for men
I'm looking for project ideas if anyone can help. I have 8-9 people that work in the man's office that we have to give something to.. Well, last year I made mug rugs and that went over great. I'm just not sure what to make this year. If 3 of them weren't men (1 of them single) then it would be easier, since women like all sorts of household items. I told the man last year that unlike the previous boss, I wanted to do everything I could to be sure that whatever we gave them was useful to the recipient instead of just their spouse.
It doesn't have to be Christmas themed. The mug rugs I made last year were mostly beach themed. I could make the ladies something girly and the men something else, and I've considered a travel cord keeper pouch with a monogram and/or something techie on it & a grill towel that hooks on your grill & has a cookout themed item embroidered on it. Of all the scouring online the last few weeks, nothing else seems interesting so far. So, if anyone has any ideas, I'm open to any suggestions! |
How about those new microwaves squares? My friend made me one and you put it under the bowl when microwaving a bowl of soup or chili. Then when you get the bowl out of the microwave, you don't burn you fingers. Guys do microwave their meals too !!

How about long oven mitts, for grilling?

how about fabric boxes... they can put their keys or change in them... or as a candy dish

Men like baked goods!

I think you started off with some really good ideas.
Another idea might be suitcase kit bags to hold their toiletries, razor etc. You could personalize them ... choose fabrics that represent each person's interests (eg. fish for the fisherman, breed of dog, baseball fabric for the ball lover, etc.) That way you could do the same for men and women ... just change the fabric selection to something appropriate for each. Definitely something that would be usable by everyone. |
The suitcase kit bags made me think of luggage tags. I made them for all the family one year.

How about these for everyone....you can personalize each one and make them manly or girly.
