Graduation Gift for a GUY! HELP!
Hey everyone I need help! I've made my boyfriend a lot of things already and I'm running out of ideas! I made him a picture college before, etc.. I need some ideas.
He moved into his new place and I asked him what he wanted and he doesn't know either. I was thinking of making a scavenge hunt around his new apartment and have the gift hidden somewhere... I'm not sure.
I don't know what to make him, if anyone has any good ideas PLEASE let me know! I have about two weeks to figure something out...
The kind of person he is very to himself, loves to work with electronics (Major is engineer) and he's thinking about making LED tables etc... Please HELP!!!
You could probably make these cuff links with polymer clay or shrink plastic: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31xNDkpiwHL._SY300_.jpg
I've also seen circuit board phone cases for sale, but perhaps it'll be less dangerous to use printed paper to look like a circuit board and this tutorial from epbot: http://www.epbot.com/2011/10/diy-custom-iphone-cover.html
You could probably adapt this http://online.findgift.com/gift-ideas/polluted-drinking-glasses-pid-373576/ into something just as geeky and probably a bit more relevant with dollar store glasses, stencils, and a tutorial like this: http://www.theyummylife.com/etched_glass_tutorial
You could also use one of the many sceen printing/T-shirt stenciling tutorials on CO+K to make a knock off of something like this: http://www.cafepress.com/mf/25064882/grounded_tshirt?CJAID=10463747&CJPID=3123248&CJSID=my-gift-ideas-for-engineers&CJURL=http://www.cafepress.com/+grounded_light_tshirt,210147229&utm_content=10463747&utm_medium=affiliate&PID=6673042&utm_campaign=none&utm_source=cj&utm_term=2047890
Or...a bit like Syeyon's idea with using food, you could make a bento box that looks like a circuit board (rice with a single big square of green seaweed and details made in cheese)
or maybe just a big craft kit organizer box (or DIY your own organizational system with wood or cardboard, you could even paint or decoupage all the little parts that go in each compartment) full of salvaged/scrap electronics parts (like LED's and circuit boards and soldering materials)
Hopefully that helps....all the engineers I know, even if they do sometimes keep to themselves, are all really outgoing and many are active in K-12 outreaching programs like SWE or a robotics program created by Tau Beta Pi
