Great gift ideas for men is anything edible… pepperoni sticks, homemade goodies, hot sauces, homemade nuts & bolts, good quality coffee or coffee beans. I have 3 grown sons and they love this stuff. TFS 🇨🇦🌸

[@pattycarosi9618]

Hi Leslie, I loved all your ideas. My children and grandchildren love when I make them a gift. Thank you for the ideas. My grandson is 5 years old. Every time I go visit him I bring him Cookies. One day I didn't bring any. I asked him do you like when Nina comes to visit you he had this look on his face like he was thinking, then he said yes but I like it better when you bring me homemade cookies. I laughed so hard. My son told him that wasn't nice. My grandson said well dad you always tell me to tell the truth so I did. The kids are just so honest I had a good laugh. Say hi to Jason. Have a blessed week. 🙏♥️🌴

Another tip is to find jars and baskets in thrift shops. Bring them home, give them a clean and you’ve not only saved money BUT you’ve also (more importantly) helped the environment by recycling and not buying ‘new’. Less stuff going into landfills! 👍🇦🇺

[@susielynch8330]

I love the jar gift for an idea. My father in law says I give the strangest gifts but most useful. Last year we gave everyone a battery holder. You can load it with all sizes of batteries. Costco was selling them last year but we had purchased ours on Amazon. Everyone that I gave them to has commented that was one of their best gifts ever. No more searching in the junk drawer for batteries. Love your videos with great ideas.

[@vivianwood2238]

I love the vanilla bottles and seals. Looks very expensive and thoughtful. Beautiful gift idea!

[@chereeburtner4659]

I made coasters using the rope the same way. They hold up very well. Great idea!

[@jhutch1681]

Love all your cheerful content, and I appreciate the effort you make :) Men's gift ideas: O'Keefe's hand and foot cream and lip balm, socks, aftershave, zip ties, small tools, nail clippers, thin and heavy work gloves, salty snacks and nuts, novels, fishing tackle, sports cards, mug and hot chocolate or coffee, movies, gift cards, candy... When you basket isn't entirely full, you can also add some shredded cardboard or a piece of foam under the tissue paper. One of my favourite baby thigs I received was the receiving blanket that was used to wrap a gift. Same with tea towels, table cloths, etc..

[@huson-7wk]

Great contributions for men. Thanks for your thoughtfulness.😊.

[@victoria8473]

Great gift ideas, Leslie! I love the vanilla extract express method!!

[@msbeaverhausen7226]

What thoughtful and pretty gift ideas! I was today years old when I learned how vanilla was made. I had no idea until I saw this video😁😁

[@angiesmith-dail5793]

Oh my gosh, I love all these ideas! I want to get away from "buying" gifts and return to making meaningful, gifts from the heart! I love your channel. I am in awe of everything you do! Don't let the Nay Sayers ever bring you down. My husband is my caregiver I've had a stroke, breast cancer, skin cancer, and fibromyalgia and he is the most wonderful, caring man. We will have been married for almost 25 years this coming June. It's not what we wanted but it's our life. I love how you are very patient with Jason. Say hello to Jason for me!

[@Sherrydelaney]

Another great fun idea for females is to get a cheap tackle box from walmart, and fill it with nail supply's like the tips and glue and other fun things, then you can personalize it with craft paint or markers. Easy and fun gift for those girls who do their own nails.

[@doanetriggs6254]

You are so clever and imaginative, truly the Queen of DIY gifts that don’t look like “loving hands at home”! Your neighbors and friends must wait with joyful anticipation to see what you create.🎉

[@ElizabethDohertyThomas]

You are relentlessly clever. I am excited for every single video you put out! (Even tho I am not crafty at all.... haha)

[@ACharmingAbode]

Glad you like them! Thank you 😊

[@pintsizestories196]

Homemade vanilla is a cool idea.

[@sandracollins7938]

Love all the great gift ideas! Can use almost any items as gifts for each person you have in mind.

[@cecwintonyk8228]

I did food gifts when I was a single gal and they were much appreciated and I had so much fun making them. One year I did mustards, soused cheese and infused olive oils and another year I did homemade marshmallows, gumdrops, turtles and mints. Cookie tins were always a hit but you have to be sure to separate the cookies in bags or with foil so your sugar cookies don't end up tasting like gingerbread.

[@Bestbloxy_rogiel123]

You’re such a ray of sunshine sweetie thank you ❤

[@sherrykahn2474]

Leslie you have some great gift ideas!!!!You are so clever!!!!!Thank you for your ideas!!!!😁❤👍

You have given me more ideas. I do the garlic olive oil, rosemary olive oil, and now the vanilla!! So cool! Thank you.

[@allisonbarber3770]

Love the vanilla extract idea!!

[@bohdandouglas8929]

I love these ideas! These are really thoughtful ideas for Christmas and hostess gifts. I'm going to use the jar ideas to make individual gifts for the other teachers on my team. These ideas will really help stretch my gift giving budget!

[@jukes243]

Really like the vanilla bean bottles. I would tie a thin shiny gold cord (into a bow) around the neck of the bottle to make it pop!

[@allisonbarber3770]

Definitely harder to find good gifts for guys!

[@devondosson9000]

Homemade vanilla! Love this idea!

Cute ideas! Thank you!

[@roxannebudd1978]

Great ideas❤

[@jennifermccraw7687]

Thank you for these. I never knew anything about making vanilla extract! I love the rope tray idea too. I make my kids DIY gifts for Others. My oldest son can sew on a machine so he made little pillows for everyone one year. I try to come up with good gifts that people actually like. The rope tray could be something they could do in a smaller version. I'd love more ideas for kids to make in bulk! And gifts that aren't foam sheet ornaments! Haha Thank you for your hard work putting together these ideas for us.

[@tubeviewer57]

You are so talented 😊. I love each of these ideas 🤗

[@ACharmingAbode]

Thank you so much!😊

[@bethhusted1111]

Great Ideas❤❤❤

[@jeanjacote5891]

Hi, I love your channel. I’d like to ask that you do part of a segment on using fresh flowers and greens. I know they’re more expensive, but I (and I’m sure other fans) won’t use artificial and prefer only fresh. There are certainly ways to do fresh without spending a fortune. If you could show some ideas for arranging too, that would be great. Thanks!

[@janet9524]

Loved this video!

[@maggieruedy7683]

Great gift ideas!!

[@FloralclasswithKathy]

That's so cute!

[@Bestbloxy_rogiel123]

[@MarshaCaughill]

Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jeanieyelton1564]

Great ideas. Thank you 🎄🎅🏻🎁

[@FloralclasswithKathy]

How did you secure the recipe card on the tea cloth pls?

[@saraa.1412]

Love your channel, just viewer feedback….I think some cozy soft lamps on in the background and holiday lights or a candle would be super aesthetic in the seasonal videos. It was a little dark to watch the gift ideas❤

[@petra7322]

Great ideas Leslie, I make fabric baskets and for men you could fill them with fishing lures, golf balls and golf tees etc, love your channel💕🌷🌷

[@ACharmingAbode]

Sounds great! Love those ideas!!!

[@sheilahackney6214]

Great ideas 👍🥰

[@jillwhelan7695]

Love all your videos. This one has sparked great ideas and motivation. Can you please send a link to the site where you make your recipe cards? I know you have linked it before but I cannot find it. Thank you

[@ACharmingAbode]

Thanks! Yes, I make mine on www.Canva.com

[@RM-jx3ii]

How long does the vanilla last? Great ideas, thanks

[@cynthiacampbell1283]

Forever ❤

[@valerienelson3296]
