I know he will use the coasters, and I know he will wear that shirt. Beyond that, and some small stocking stuffers, I have been stumped. I don't like wasting money on things I know he won't really use because it seems pointless. But you know what he likes to drink? Beer. And I have seen this idea floating around blogland for reindeer root beer. I just changed it to reindeer beer. I didn't follow any directions or anything.... It was super easy.
I just bought a six pack of a beer brand he likes in a seasonal flavor. (And I like this beer too because I save the pretty caps for projects.) Then I used gold glittery pipe cleaners (glitter is a must at the holidays!) and wrapped around and twisted in the back so I had two ends sticking up. I cut another pipe cleaner into 4 pieces and used two pieces on each set of antlers, just twisting them on. Then I hot glued googly eyes and pom pom noses. Where I come from, there is only one Rudolph, so there is only one red-nosed reindeer in my pack, and the others have glittery brownish noses, so they still look pretty and magical. :) And now they sit under the tree, waiting for Christmas. And this is a gift I know Chris will enjoy for at least two evenings. :)

Okay, that beer idea is a classic! I must steal it. Thanks so much...and I thought I was finished shopping...
Ha! Love the beer idea! Pinning this so I don't forget!
Hahaha I love this! The shirt and reindeer beer are hilarious.
My husband is so hard to buy for plus his bday is like 3 days after christmas, ugh! I love this idea, who wouldn't want CUTE beer??
Not only would we have so much fun hanging out, our husbands would too. I hate shopping for mine. He loves to read and loves gadgets but I would never dare pick out one of those things for him. I found a Star Wars shirt and light saber chopsticks for him and I'm taking a chance with a watch. Reindeer beer is now being added.
I am so gonna have to do that! I love your gifts! I'm poppin' over to check out that T-shirt as we are all Star Wars nerds...
HA!!! Your husband and mine would be great friends! I just bought him a t-shirt from Target that said the same thing... wish I would have made mine :( And my hubby loooves some Fat Tire beer. Have a Merry Christmas, I am sure her will love everything!!
If your husband ever carries sheets of plywood, get him some Gorilla Grippers. I just bought two for my husband. You can carry a sheet (or two) with one hand! He actually found it for me and said "I want this"....you can't beat that!
Perfect present! Thanks for the idea. This is great for a few of the guys in my life and much appreciated I'm sure.
Haha! That is hilarious! For the past few years beer has been a go to for our male relatives! I always look like a lush driving around with multiple cases of beer! Very cute!
I saw your mad lib song sung by Gwen on The Bold Abode and it was hilarious. Great job. Now I must check out your reindeer root beer as the photo has me intrigued.
Too funny! I made Nate buy Snow Day at Thanksgiving because I liked the name and the bottle. It was DISGUSTING but then again, I don't like beer. :P
lol, those bottles are too cute!
Cassie that is SUCH a great idea! I have three brothers and we don't normally give each other gifts but this is so cute I think I might have to do it for each of them! So amusing for Christmas day. Thanks for sharing!
DARLING! My 15 yr old loves rt beer and this is a perfect idea for him!! FYI, that shirt is wonderful, you know I have JEDI fans here, I wonder if I can get a discount on a bulk order!! HAHA! Great ideas, Cassie your posts always make me smile!
ROFL! Love those ideas! My husband is SO hard to buy for!! I may have to try that beer idea...even though he makes his own, I may just have to go get some store bought for him!
Very cute!! I might have to borrow this idea...guys are so hard to buy for!
Great Ideas!!! I have the beer one pinned already! That Jedi shirt is classic. Thanks!
Oooh your beers look brilliant! Great job! And I LOVE the t-shirt. :)
I agree - most men are much more difficult to find presents for than women. Why is that??
Genius- sounds like your husband and mine are in the same vein. I shopped at Think Geek for my hubby, but I may be stealing the beer idea for Santa.
I picked up a Han Solo frozen in Carbonite chocolate bar. Have you been to Think Geek before? I even picked up some cat nip bubbles for the kitties
so cute!!
...can't wait to see what you do with the bottle caps!!
This is so clever and fun, Cassie! Your hubby will love this gift!
Who knew that beer could be so cute!
The beer bottles look perfect - another great idea! Have to take a look at that etsy shop and tshirt. Thank you!
So stinking cute - you have to snap a photo of him drinking them, googly eyes and all!!! (although, I'm sure the pipe cleaners will have to come off when he drinks them, but the eyes and nose definitely should stay on!!)
