Men are hard to buy and make for. Maybe something for the camping part, pillows for their sleeping bags,a nice 8x10 frame to put a picture of their wife in. HA! some of those funny hats with the ear flaps, if they put those on then the wife is really not going to miss them all that much. Well as you can see I'am no help at all, so good luck, maybe someone out there can help.

I have no idea what types of crafts you make but here are some ideas. And if you do them nice enough that men or boys want to buy them, you gotta make feminine versions to sell too as there are always girls out there who like to be tomboys or are athletic, etc.
Sewing/crafts:
Camouflaged bags of candy, camouflaged bags of beef jerky, camouflaged picture frames, camouflaged pencil bags, camouflaged Bible covers, camouflaged photo or dvd or cd albums, camo laundry bags, camo sunglass cases, book covers, camo remote control holders that hang from beds or lazy boys, camo school bags, backpacks, pillow covers, camo lunch sacks (line them with the insulation material), camo lanyards for keys, camo toaster covers or tea cozies (yes I'm throwing out crazy ideas here), camo throws/polar fleece.
Same ideas/different fabrics may work.
Ceramics/painting:
Chips & dip bowls/platters w/camouflage or sports themes. Bowls & mugs that say "Big Guy" and "Little Guy" on them. Camouflage laundry baskets.
Books:
Boys or men's cookbooks with manly recipes or snack ideas.
Woodwork:
Boys writing desks, wooden astronauts, wooden rockets (these are ideas from my 7 yo son).
Hope that gets you thinking---

Thanks for all the ideas Lots of food for thought. Camo is good. I had made camo air freshners for the car one time, might try that again i had gave them all away.

I'm thinking do-rags.(sp) These are overgrown bandanas they tie on their heads to wear under their motorcycle helmets, ball caps or some times just out in the sun. They soak up sweat. This is the summer thing. for cold weather I have made neck gaiters. this is a tube of polar fleece that they pull over the head to keep the neck warm. Again bikers love them. (can you tell what my sons ride?) also leather belts and/or the leather holders they slide onto their belts to hold a knife or a leatherman. Guys aren't big on crafts, they like gadgets and powertools.
