A Great Gift Idea For Men

Remember a few weeks ago, I talked about not wanting to clutter others' homes this year for the holidays?  If you missed it, here it is again: No Clutter Gifts for the holidays. Well, here is the first of my affordable gifts for men that don't take a lot of time or money. Here is how I made a great gift idea for men.

stuff for great gift idea for men gift

Here is some information to help you find these items:

  • I went to the dollar store and found a large beer mug and tea towel.
  • You may be able to find the beer bread mix and wooden spoon somewhere else, but I particularly love this mix, and my children's high school music department was running a fundraiser, so I figured I would help the school out AND get some holiday shopping done.  =)

Instructions

I first took the beer bread mix and placed it in a sealed baggy and placed it through the handle of the beer mug. This particular mug handle was large enough to hold the batter nicely. I then added a rubber band (Affiliate Link) to secure it.

Add Tea Towel

Then, I added the tea towel to the top, and with the beer, I pressed the tea towel into the mug.  I then added the wooden spoon to the mug.

I wrapped the tea towel with a ribbon to keep everything together and added a bow to the wooden spoon.

Reveal

Here is a picture of a great gift idea for men. Doesn't it look cute?  I hope they love it. I made three of them in about 45 minutes. Forty-five minutes for $13.00 each was pretty good!

Beer Bread Recipe

So, your men can make beer bread for you. This is great for 20-something single guys and beer lovers everywhere. The recipe is so easy, too.  It's from the back of the Pampered Chef box. I rewrote it here for your convenience.

12 oz. beer
1 pouch beer bread mix
1 Tbsp. Butter or margarine melted

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the beverage into a large bowl. Add the bread mix; mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened.

Spoon batter into pan; drizzle with butter, optional. Bake for 50-55 minutes, 45-50 minutes for a metal pan or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, and the top is golden brown. Cool bread in pan for 5 minutes; remove from pan.

Serve warm or cool.

Yields: 12 servings.

Here are the cards I made for this gift. I added them to card stock and cut them out and attached it with a ribbon around the spoon.

I hope this helps you get your gift in order cheaply and creatively this year. Please let me know what you are doing this year.  I would love to hear your ideas.  

Update After the Holidays:

One of the three men said, "Can I just drink the beer?" So, I think it was a hit! It was easy for single guys and fun for couples.

    What a great idea! I know my husband would try this! What's the review on the bread? How does it taste?

      The bread is delicious! If you really want to taste the beer in it, pick a beer that has more of a flavor. If you prefer less beer flavor, pick a lighter beer. My husband loves this beer bread mix. I had one pack left and the next day, he made beer bread. The loaf didn't last long, maybe 12 hours. =) I prefer less of a beer taste myself.

    Guys can be hard to shop for, but this gift seems like a winner! I've had Pampered Chef's beer bread before and it's delicious!

    What a fun gift idea! Do you need a breadmaker, or just a regular loaf pan?
