Easy diy gifts for bf 🫶
I’ve used so many of these and my bf cherishes them! It means so much more when there’s a lot of thought put into your gifts.
Idea 1- smooches on a canvas, tutorials on TikTok but basically put your fav lip product on and smooch away! All you need is a canvas. 💸 Price Range: <$10
Idea 2- “cute” poster, I’ve done this one and it’s so fun! May need a friend to help you out so it’s perfect. All you need is a big canvas, acrylic paint or paint of choice, (Acrylic works best) and your bod! 💸 Price Range:<$20
Idea 3- map of where you met or first date, Adorbs! All you need is someway to make the picture (google drive, canva) and a frame! (You can print at staples or any supply store if you don’t have a printer.) 💸 Price Range:<$5
idea 4- the sky’s formation of your first date, first kiss, etc. same things as the last one is needed for this. 💸 Price Range:<$5
Idea 5- a year of dates in a box- I’ve wanted to do this forever. Use my post about date ideas to get some ideas! Supplies will depend on your activities.💸 Price Range: $0-100+
idea 6- open when cards. These are so fun to do! I can post some ideas if requested! Supplies depend on the cards. 💸 Price Range: 0-$100+
Idea 7- custom CD with songs that remind you of them. I loved doing these back in the day. Unless you have the supplies at home to make your own cds you’ll need to order them, it’s about $20. If you have a laptop with a cd slot you should be able to burn them, I can find a website for it if requested! 💸 Price Range: <$20
Idea 8- shadow box with your favorite memories. So cute! All you need for this is the memories/photos (you can use ticket stubs, notes, texts, wristbands from concerts, etc) a shadow box and something to hold the items in place like double sided tape. 💸 Price Range:<$10
Idea 9- scrapbook with memories- similar to the last it involves the same thing but more quantity of items. I’ve made a couple and I love doing it. You need a scrapbook, tape, photos (or whatever else you’re including) some fun stickers (optional) sharpie for writing dates of pics or a fun memory that happened. 💸 Price Range: <$50

Finding that perfect gift for your boyfriend can sometimes feel like a daunting task, right? We all want to show our love and appreciation in a unique way, and honestly, nothing beats a gift made with your own two hands. I've found that these kinds of presents resonate so much more deeply because they carry a piece of your heart and effort. If you're searching for something truly special, something that says "I thought of you," then diving into the world of DIY gifts is definitely the way to go! Let’s talk about some of these ideas in a bit more detail, and how you can make them truly unforgettable. Take the 'smooches on a canvas' idea, for instance. It sounds simple, but the execution can make all the difference. I recommend choosing a long-lasting, vibrant lip product – think a liquid lipstick that won't smudge easily. When you apply your kisses to the white canvas, try varying the pressure slightly to get different intensities. And here’s a tip from my experience: once the kisses are dry, grab a fine-tip marker and add a personal touch, like the sweet handwritten text, "all kisses for you," as seen on one of those lovely examples. It turns a fun gesture into a treasured keepsake. Another one I absolutely adore is the 'map of where you met or first date.' This one is incredibly sentimental. You don't need fancy design software; a simple screenshot from Google Maps, enhanced with a heart icon marking your special spot, can be printed beautifully. Don't forget to include the specific date, like "08/11/2019," and a meaningful caption such as "Where It All Started." Framing it in a nice, minimalist frame instantly elevates it. I once made one for my boyfriend, and seeing his face light up as he remembered that day was priceless. It’s a wonderful conversation starter and a constant reminder of your beginning. And for those of us who love to capture memories, the shadow box and scrapbook ideas are gold. For a shadow box, think beyond just photos. Include ticket stubs from concerts you attended together, a small note he once wrote you, wristbands from festivals, or even dried flowers from a special bouquet. Arranging these items thoughtfully, perhaps layering a black and white photo of you two in the background, creates a beautiful, dimensional display. You can even include a small printout resembling a music player interface with a song that reminds you of him. For a scrapbook, embrace themes! "OUR FIRST YEAR" is a fantastic starting point, as seen in some great examples. Fill it with photos from different dates, write down small anecdotes, and use fun stickers to highlight special moments. It’s not just a collection of pictures; it’s a narrative of your journey together. Remember, the beauty of handmade gifts isn’t in their perfection, but in the effort and love you pour into them. Whether it’s a custom CD with songs that truly define your relationship – maybe even with a funny, heartfelt message like, "I really love you but I'm not good with words so here you go" – or a box of "open when..." cards for every mood, these personal touches are what make them truly unique. So, gather your supplies, put on some good music, and enjoy the process of creating something truly special for your significant other. They'll definitely feel the love!
