Oftentimes, the kindest, most thoughtful gift that can be given is one that has a lot of time put into it, rather than one that costs a lot of money. Men are usually tough customers to shop for, so consider a DIY gift for him. Pour your heart into it, and he's sure to love it and cherish it for years to come. There are many things that can be made for a boyfriend that don't require assembly or receipts. The best part about these gifts? One size fits all.
Photo Gifts
A gift with photos is a thoughtful way to express your love and to capture favorite memories. You can purchase a simple wooden frame from a craft store, such as Michael's. Decorate the frame with wooden cutouts of his and your initials and hearts. Have lots of photos? Make a scrapbook. Each page can have a theme, such as Valentine's Day, birthdays and other activities. Not feeling crafty? Upload digital photos to Snapfish. For a fair fee, they will make photo book and ship it. There are a number of options to choose from. Kinko's also makes a monthly calendar with a different photo for each month.
Paper Gifts
The make-it-yourself coupon book is a tried-and-true gift option. Make it personal. Instead of the mediocre, "Good for a movie night," try something like, "Good for a movie of YOUR choice--including Icees and Buncha Crunch!" Type it up and use clip art. Laminate the pages and use a hole puncher to make a hole in each coupon on the left side. Tie together with a bow. This way, the coupons will stay nice if they are saved--or put in a scrapbook! Another great paper gift is origami. Purchase a beginner's book at Barnes & Noble. Create paper flowers and glue green pipe cleaners to the underside. Stick a bunch in a nondescript vase for a pretty bouquet that'll last forever.
Other Craft Gifts
Color Me Mine has more than 400 ceramic items in its pottery studio that can be painted and fired in the kilns on premises.

Presents with the purpose of keeping him warm in the winter are always romantic. Paint? A pretty painting is a perfect way to decorate his wall. All of these gifts are nice daily reminders of what a kind and thoughtful girlfriend he has.
