Homemade Birthday Gifts for Boys

Inexpensive Easy Ideas

Kids aren't as difficult to please as some might think, and homemade birthday gifts are great alternatives to expensive store-bought gifts. If you need homemade birthday gifts for the boys on your gift list, consider the following creative and easy birthday party gift ideas. Gifts don't have to be expensive to be valuable and fun. Some of the very best birthday gifts for boys are gifts that are homemade and come straight from the heart.

Squeaky-Clean Monster Puke

This is one of the best homemade birthday gifts for boys on your list who have absolutely everything. Squeaky-clean monster puke sounds truly disgusting, but it's actually foaming bubble bath that's just as good or better than store-bought varieties. It's gentle on the skin, and it creates loads of bubbles. The name alone will make boys ask to take a bath, and birthday gifts that make boys want to bathe are birthday gifts parents will truly appreciate!

To make a homemade batch of squeaky-clean monster puke, mix together 2 cups of olive oil, ½ cup of honey, 1 cup of shower gel (any scent or variety), and 1 teaspoon of green food coloring. Pour the mixture into pint size jars, and add plastic monsters, eyeballs, or plastic spiders to the mix. Label the jar, and present it to the boys on your gift list along with a bath puff. This homemade birthday gift will definitely be a hit!

Travel Kit for Boys

Kids don't usually like taking long trips, and a homemade travel kit for boys is a great birthday gift idea for kids who frequently travel with mom and dad. What better way to pass the time than with a box full of fun activities and challenging games?

To make individual travel kits for the birthday boys on your gift list, simply fill plastic shoebox-size containers with drawing supplies, travel games, word puzzles, snacks, and anything else you can think of that boys would enjoy. Wrap the travel packs with old maps to complete these original homemade birthday gifts.
