Sue, I didn’t suggest making a lacy handkerchief and a matching bra. if you haven’t swooned over a handsome man in a stylish suit and tie (with, yes, a pocket square) — you’re missing out.

To each his (or her, as the case may be) own.

That is a great idea, one that could hang onto the side of a couch or a coffee table?

How many remote controls does he have?
A REMOTE TOTE –

Bundle them up in a remote control caddy – you are probably thinking fabric but I am thinking wood! Get them organized
in one place with velcro, nails or twine but when he asks
“where is the remote” you can tell him “On the Remote Tote”.

Some kind of office organizational something… (I know.. super vague!). My husband is working on a second Master’s degree and working full time… and our office (read: my sewing room) is kind of a disaster because of it. Some place where he can stash his books, papers, etc would be great, but he isn’t exactly a messenger bag type person so I have no idea of what would actually work.

Here are a few ideas:

Stylish pocket square/hanky + bow tie/necktie

Masculine smartphone/tablet/eReader/laptop sleeves in fabrics like wool, felt, salvaged military canvas, and/or leather

Messenger bag in similar fabrics

If he’s a geek, beer/coffee cozy or notebook cover made out of his favorite geek-inspired fabrics (Star Wars, etc.)
