The thing with a DIY last minute gift idea, is that I have to assume you have a decent collection of crafting supplies to draw from. 

But since you probably found this post by searching for ‘DIY gifts’, you are most likely a crafter with some supplies lying around!

Otherwise, most of these projects could be completed with a quick trip to either your local craft supply shop, home improvement store or grocery store. 

Don’t forget to grab a printable card to go with your last minute gift! (And if it’s not the last minute and you still have time to get something shipped out, check out this post of 30 Personalized Gifts for Men.)
