Alright, this weekend, I'm starting to work on Christmas presents. And I think I know pretty much what I am going to make for the females, but I have no clue about anything for my dad or brother. Usually I just get them a sweater or a bookor something, but this year, money problems seriously prevent that. I know how to sew, but I don't have a sewing machine (though I have friends who do), so this isn't really a limitation or anything. But I'd like it to be something simple.

I'm also stuck on my boyfriend, too. He listens to a ton of alt-country and writes songs and such, and I want to make him something he can use with his music (that doesn't really require making anything like a guitar strap), or even just something that reminds him of his music. I thought about making him a lyric journal, but I've never really been able to accomplish that very well. He's also an Eagle Scout and goes camping all the time with his brother. So this might be an angle to pursue as well.

So...any ideas for boys who REALLY like golf, camping/outdoorsy stuff, or alt-country music? Because I'm totally stuck...

Thanks in advance!
