8 Handmade Gifts for That Special Man in Your Life
Nothing can compare to a handmade gift. Whatever the occasion, these gifts really tend to shine since they are often crafty, creative, and unique. There is no worrying about if he will take the gift back or if it something he really needs as a handcrafted item is one of a kind. Handmade gifts and novelties are a great way to celebrate any occasion. They tend to be appreciated a little more for the time and though that went into such a gift. Below are some unique items that special person in your life is sure to love.
1. Jack Daniels Soap Dispenser
This unique gift combines the best of both worlds, Jack Daniels Whiskey and personal hygiene. This is an easy way to give a whiskey lover an excuse to hit a bottle of Jack when he’s not drinking. All that is needed to make this gift is an empty bottle of Jack Daniels and a soap dispenser pump. Most of the threads seem to be a universal size so the pump should tighten right up. However, make sure you do not get a pump that bulges out by the spring as this will not fit inside the bottle neck.
