I thought it would be fun to attempt some Etsy gift guides this year. I think it is important to support our fellow crafters and give some of our hard earned money to folks, not corporations. Oh sure, we have to give our money to big business most of the time, and there is nothing wrong with that. But it is also good to give monetary support to artisans and craftspeople who are making things just because they love to.
So to start, I thought I would pick the group that I consider to be the most difficult to buy for: MEN!
Due to my Etsy restriction, I found a ton of things for guys ages 16-45, but not so much for Grandpa or Dad. So if you have anyone in this age group you have to buy for, please consider the following:
For The Carpender, Wood Worker, or General Craftsman:

Thanks for this, men are always the hardest to shop for. Especially if you want to buy handmade. Are there any kitchen gadgets cooking wares you covet? I wouldn't mind seeing your take on that!
