    This post is right on time I need some good gift ideas for my husband. I like that Lego clock too. I'd make that for my kids playroom. The slim leather wallet is another project that would try.

    That firewood tote would be great for my Dad! He has to carry it up all winter from the basement. He could make less trips with that, I'm sure.

    the LEGO Star Wars clock is the top of my list. My challenge would be to keep the figures on the clock and not play with them. I'd put them back on – when the time is right.

    DIY gifts are the best. I’d love to get any of these over some fancy expensive thing from the store.
