Give clothes
If you knit well, then the original New Year's sweater with your own hands will pleasantly surprise your chosen one.

Also, an original New Year's gift for a guy with his own hands is warm, hand-knitted woolen socks with an interesting ornament, warming on cold winter evenings.
Use photos
Surely a lot of joint pictures have accumulated in your phone or computer. Create a collage in a large frame or a handmade album with beautiful captions, dates and your comments. There is always a place for such a gift, and it will also be a wonderful reminder of the time spent together.
If there are few photos, but there is one that both of you like, you can immortalize it on a mug, pillow or T-shirt for a loved one (provided that he will wear it).
If you are just starting a relationship and have not yet acquired a joint album, what to give the guy for the New Year? You can give your beloved guy a hand-made certificate for professional shooting or ask friends to take a picture of you.
Handmade accessories and leather crafts
Any man uses a wallet, purse, card holder, case for a phone or tablet or some other accessories. Replace them with those you made of fabric, leather or other material with embroidered initials of a loved one or a small message. A keychain for keys to an apartment or a car in the form of a woven house, car, toy, heart or any other figure to your taste is an original gift for a guy with his own hands. In addition, he will always be at hand.
If a man wears a watch with a strap or bracelets, you can make something similar from leather. Such a gift will look expensive, stylish and solid.
Mugs
Universal? Yes, a mug will come in handy for any man. Faceless? Perhaps yes. To avoid this, make it targeted. Now there are many companies that offer to apply the image on any surface, including glass and ceramics. Print your overall photo on a cup or, even better, sign it with indelible ceramic markers, draw your portrait, even if it turns out to be caricature, something on New Year's theme, write a couple of warm words to your beloved or a funny wish! If you do not have artistic talent, you can even draw a funny mustache. This, on the one hand, a simple, on the other hand, original gift to a guy with his own hands will become an unusual alternative to a holiday card and, of course, will cause a smile.
Food as a gift
As the famous wisdom says, men win love through his stomach. Therefore, what is not an option to feed your beloved with delicious food? Wake it up with a fragrant cup of coffee and breakfast or organize a romantic New Year's candlelight dinner. Decorate the dishes with hearts of fruits and vegetables. Show your hostess talent.
If your favorite is a sweet tooth, then what is not a gift for a guy for the New Year with his own hands ginger little men and cookies on New Year's theme? Or a beautiful birthday cake?
Fancy baskets
If it so happened that there is no time for a guy to make a gift for the New Year, or you are not confident in your abilities, do not despair. Think about what your lover loves the most. Collect a basket of things dear to his heart. For example, if he is a football fan, then as a gift put a couple of bottles of beer, crackers and a scarf from your favorite football team, it will be pleasant and unexpected. In addition, this way you can show a man that you know his interests, passions and support them.
Children's motives
If you are a married couple with children, then it's time to involve children in making a creative New Year's gift to dad. It can be a drawing of your family, decorated in a stylish frame, painted circles, handprints and legs on various surfaces from paper to fabric on a T-shirt. The main thing is to choose the right paint.
Handmade greeting cards and gift wrapping.
To beautifully present a gift to a guy for the New Year with his own hands is half the success. Therefore, it is important not only to choose the thing that your chosen one will like, but also to design its packaging in an original way, then even the simplest gift will look more spectacular. For a men's gift, packaging in the form of a shirt and tie, suspenders and other painted or glued parts is ideal . And a paper origami card with such a pattern will perfectly complement a DIY gift for a guy with his own hands.
Handmade Gift Extras
Some couples agree in advance that they will give each other. This is practical, but at the same time eliminates the magic of surprise and suspense. Therefore, you can always complement the main gift with a cute bauble made by yourself. For example, a guy is fond of photography, give him a camera and a handmade case for her. Or he asked to buy covers for him in the car, and you complement them with a cute home-made keychain. If this is one of the mobile gadgets (phone or tablet), sew the original case with the initials of the lover, etc. So you show that you spent the time and effort to create a gift, which means you made it with your soul.
Of course, you can come up with even more ideas what to give the guy for the New Year. You can present handmade toys, DIY crafts, hand-sewn pillows and much more to your beloved guy. The main thing is to remember that any, even the simplest gift will be original, if you make it targeted. If these are socks, then let them be connected by you with a funny pattern, even if your knitting ability is far from professional. If this is a mug, let it be painted and signed by you personally with warm congratulations for your loved one. Using a little imagination and a sense of humor, you can get the perfect New Year gift for a guy with his own hands, which will last for many years.
