Present for boyfriend?

I want to make something for my boyfriend for his birthday. I'm going to buy him a main present but i thought it would be nice to also give him something i made as well. he'll be 21. He's really into cars particularly old muscle cars and stuff. He also likes music and he used to do jigsaw puzzles.

Hm... Maybe make him a bowling-style shirt with muscle car fabric as detail, like for the pocket, and use buttons that match the fabric.

What kind of music does he like?

Thanks Monika that sounds good. and he likes pretty much any kind of music. He has a very random cd collection. From electro and techno to the blues and everything in between.

I've made my fiancé a couple of things as gifts.

You could make him a book of reasons why you love him, if he likes cute things:

Or a small plushie:

Or you could make him a custom shirt by stenciling a design onto it like I did here:

My boyfriend has told me he wants a home made snuggie and bathrobe since I've started sewing. I've also been thinking about making him some really cool gothy oven mitts since he likes to cook and maybe a matching apron although I'm not sure that he'd actually wear it.

you could always make a heartshaped puzzle with a picture of the two of you.

maybe some shrink plastic muscle car keyrings, or a scrapbook of the two of you, but the cover themed by his interests xx
