One of my fave presents ever was a blank book with a photo of the kids in it entitled, "We should write that down.". Thats what we used to say when one of us did anything funny, you know those bellybuster laugh moments. So we write them down in this book. On a rainy day we get it out and can't help but laugh again at the old antics.

Something self-made is always priceless.
I don't know if learning to knit at 41 is such a great idea for presents,
but using your established skills to make something is.

I think it was meant to be a 'Hot water bottle 'cover' ??
Gave me a giggle anyway!

Make them a slingshot. Very cheap. Of course try keeping in mind the mental (Age) state of the guy involved. Most men are still kids at heart.
Lots of how-to videos out there as well, though I wouldn't go as far as this guy.
