6. This will give you a nice, basic coaster. These make great gifts. Whip up a few, tie with a ribbon and give as a hostess gift. Who doesn't need a coaster?

 
7. You can easily make these more "manly" by using a nice brown or black yarn. Even men like handmade gifts. I also like making one and tucking it in a letter or greeting card with a bag of tea. Bottom line is, you don't have to spend much $ at all to be a gift giver. Have fun! :)
