When it comes to gifts for men, many women are lost. All their ideas come down to shaving foam, socks, a sweater, or a cell phone. But if your half is sweet tooth, then choose gifts for men from sweets. You can order them if you want to get an unusual present in the form of an airplane, ship, car, weapon. But it’s better to work out a little and create a bouquet of sweets with your own hands.
An easy way for beginners
This method does not require professional skills. Sweets play a minor role here and are an addition to the main gift. For example, you attach a candy gift for a boy to a typewriter. Sweets can be tied with paper tapes and inserted into the car. You can surprise the birthday boy by wrapping a wrapping paper around the body of the car, and glue candies (over the tail) on top.
Another option for a simple gift, but no less pleasant is to purchase various sweets on a stick. Decorate them with paper curls, figurines. If you bought marmalade, then pierce it with a toothpick, wrap it in packaging material. Insert into a vase, a jar, a sneaker and another kind of pot. To make the bouquet stand, use a foam base (such dense bricks are sold in flower shops).
Such a bouquet of sweets can be varied with balloons, paper flowers, if you give a gift to a young birthday boy. Men should arrange gifts differently.
Gifts for men from sweets: "Pineapple"
This workshop will require the following materials:
- candy;
- golden wrapping paper;
- twine;
- green double-sided paper;
- thermal gun;
- a bottle of champagne.
Choose convex candies that look like pineapple peels. These are sold in sets. If you got round sweets with ponytails, then gently press the ends with tape. Then measure out a rectangular piece of golden paper to cover the candy tightly. Drip with a thermogun, stick to a bottle of champagne.
So that gifts for men made of sweets were not only beautiful, but also retained their taste, masters advised not to work with hot-melt glue (since the chocolate melts under temperature), but with odorless glue, double-sided tape. If you use a thermal gun, then glue the sweetness by the tail or onto cardboard attached to the candy.
As soon as the thick part of the bottle is decorated with sweets, you cut out long leaves from green paper. Glue them around the top of the champagne bottle, closing the cork. The junction between greens and sweets is decorated with twine.
"Musical" bouquets
Music lovers can give "musical" gifts from sweets (see photo below). To do this, you will need cardboard, sweets, sewing accessories, polystyrene foam, hot melt adhesive, double-sided tape, stationery cloves.

Paste all the details of the guitar with corrugated paper. Use either glue stick or double-sided tape. Decorate all the irregularities of the case with a cord or a corrugated tube (wind the corrugated paper onto a pencil, then shift it to the middle on both sides, remove it, slightly straighten it).
You can even glue the whole guitar with sweets of different varieties. Spend less time making a souvenir, but get no less tasty, original gifts from sweets (photos of sweet bouquets confirm this).
Stick the handle on the guitar. On top of the tool and on the case, attach the cloves for the stationery (the strings will hold on to them). Glue the cardboard on the back of the sweets with double-sided tape and only then use a heat gun to fasten them to the guitar on the sides and front.
To avoid cutting a round hole in the case, glue a large medal. Pull the strings of thread. Attach a beautiful paper ribbon bow to the top of the pen. Pack the guitar in a gift wrapper.

Candy Gifts: Topiary Workshop
In general, candy topiary is very popular. Choosing a color scheme, you can give such sweets to even men, even women, even children. And making them is very simple. Even a teenager can handle it. The essence of making sweet topiary is the same as making an ordinary tree, only the crown and grass are made of sweets.
Candy trees are heavy in weight, so the trunk should be thick. Poke a foam ball with a stick, drop glue into the hole and attach the barrel. Decorate the pot by decorating it with beads, flowers, shells and other accessories in harmony with sweets.
Next, wrap the barrel with paper, thread, electrical tape. Spread the cast, pour into the pot and insert the trunk. Until the gypsum has hardened, you can attach sisal or satin ribbon threads.

The main thing is to remember that sweets need to be fastened with adhesive tape by the tail or glued cardboard, and then glued to the base with hot-melt adhesive, or put candies on toothpicks and stuck in polystyrene foam.
Decorate the trunk with a bow; throw a couple of sweets into the grass. Pack the gift and hand it to the birthday man.
