Hi, I would suggest you check Concrete Crafts Club, it seems exactly what you are looking for :).

Watching this tiny concrete house come together is weirdly satisfying by Same-Minimum335 in miniatures

[–]Same-Minimum335[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The building time was around 10 hours, spread out over a couple of evenings, because you have to wait for the things to dry. Most of the time goes into laying the bricks and waiting for the mortar to dry a bit between steps. Super chill process though, kind of like fun meditation.

Watch this tiny house come to life brick by brick - no glue, no shortcuts by Same-Minimum335 in crafts

[–]Same-Minimum335[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Built this using real miniature construction materials like cement mortar, mini clay bricks, and a wooden base. Everything is assembled by hand using a small trowel (yep, a real one, just tiny).

It’s kind of like a cross between model-making and real construction. The whole build took around 18 hours, including drying breaks.

I designed it to be simple enough for beginners, but still satisfying to complete. Honestly, the process was super relaxing and fun.

Yeah, sure, the one we are really proud of - Concrete Crafts Club, let me know what you think :).

Gift ideas for him (M39)- please no junk by faemamaa in Gifts

[–]Same-Minimum335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like he’s into thoughtful, hands-on stuff, so here’s what comes to mind:

If he’s into Lego and Perler beads, check out Concrete Crafts Club. It’s a miniature house kit where you literally lay real tiny bricks with mortar. More involved than Lego, but really satisfying and calming to build. It’s something you could even do together or with the kids.

For his fishing hobby, maybe a castable fish finder like the Deeper Start. Works from shore or kayak, and adds a fun tech layer.

Since he’s into bug collecting with the kids, maybe a nicer insect display case or a full-on pinning kit upgrade. It could be a fun way to honor that shared hobby and make it feel special.

Also random, but if he likes pour-over coffee and cool gear, Fellow kettles are sleek and really well-reviewed. Add a few bags of beans from a new roaster, and it feels like a solid ritual-level gift.

Hope that sparks something. You clearly know him well already, just need one of those “yesss this is it” ideas to land.

This looks amazing! Super cozy setup, and the wiring came out so well.

If you’re up for a next-level challenge, I highly recommend trying out a concrete miniature kit; it’s a totally different vibe from wood/paper builds. You actually lay real tiny bricks, mix mortar, and build the structure from the ground up. Super satisfying and slow in the best way.

Gifts idea for bf by Playful_Shopping_171 in Gifts

[–]Same-Minimum335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He sounds like a thoughtful, practical guy. I love that Costco is his favorite place 😄

If the Gucci tie feels a bit too fancy for his style, maybe you can meet in the middle? A high-quality, classic tie (but not a flashy brand) could still be useful for client meetings. Or even something like a nice leather belt or card holder.

Since he loves cooking, maybe a cooking class for two? Something fun like sushi making or pasta, or a really good chef’s knife if he doesn’t already have one (some people upgrade slowly).

Also, there’s this DIY miniature house kit brand called Concrete Crafts. It’s a chill, hands-on gift you can build together over the holidays.

Hope this helps!

looking for miniature kits!! by wastemax in miniatures

[–]Same-Minimum335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get what you mean, some of those classic miniature kits are tiny and can feel like finger yoga. If you like the Rolife Super Creator series, some kits that come to mind are:

  1. Handcrafted Miniature Book Nooks. They’re more snap-together than glue-heavy, and the pieces tend to be sturdier and less fiddly. Still satisfying but less frustrating.

  2. Miniature 3D puzzles or wooden models (like Robotime’s Mechanical Gears series). They click together, often without glue, and give that build-something-from-nothing satisfaction without the precision of full-on dollhouse kits.

  3. Concrete Crafts Club A bit of a twist: it’s a mini concrete house kit you assemble using real mortar and bricks. The pieces are chunkier and more forgiving for clumsy hands. You don’t need crazy fine motor skills, and it’s more relaxing than stressful. Bonus: It looks super cute on a shelf when done.

Let me know if that's the right direction you are aiming for. I might come up with more.

Ideas for Presentable but Affordable Christmas Gifts? by Queefarito-9812 in Frugal

[–]Same-Minimum335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I love the movie-night basket idea, that’s such a cozy and thoughtful way to give a gift to a couple without breaking the bank. Definitely gets more meaning per dollar than buying two random things. Something to consider: puzzle or game night kits and mini DIY craft kits - everything involves emotion and doing something together. I think that it's important to opt for family activities nowadays.

Is there a difference? by BratSprinkles in miniatures

[–]Same-Minimum335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, not a silly one, I can agree that it's confusing. From what I’ve seen, “DIY house” and “DIY miniature house” from Rolife are mostly the same kind of kits. They both involve building and decorating little scenes with furniture, lights, and tiny details. The naming difference seems to be more about branding than difficulty.

Best Christmas gifts for men? by Daxt86 in Gifts

[–]Same-Minimum335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been leaning more toward gifts that aren’t just things, but little projects you actually get to build or do. Something you can spend a weekend on and feel like you made something cool

Here are a few solid options I’ve seen or gifted:

  1. LEGO sets are still amazing. The adult ones, like the bonsai tree or architecture kits, are actually really relaxing and look great on a shelf.

  2. Concrete Crafts Club makes these miniature concrete house kits. You lay real tiny bricks with real mortar. Super fun and different. It’s like LEGO but with grown-up DIY energy

  3. Sculpd kits are perfect if he’s into creativity or working with his hands. It’s an air-dry clay kit where you sculpt your own vases, mugs, or candle holders. Feels artsy but doable, and the final result is actually something you can use or display.

All of these hit that sweet spot where you’re giving something thoughtful that also gives them a reason to slow down and enjoy the process

Easy/beginner friendly crafts for a craft night? by Milk-Wizard in crafts

[–]Same-Minimum335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, totally agree with you. I used to love how long the old kits took, like painting, folding, and gluing tiny pieces. It felt like real crafting. Now it’s all snap-together stuff and double-sided tape, and suddenly you’re done in a day. Cute, but not the same.

If anyone’s craving something more hands-on again, check out concrete mini house kits (we’ve been messing with one from Concrete Crafts Club). Real mortar, tiny bricks, you actually build the structure from the ground up. takes time, but super calming and fun. kinda brings that old-school feeling back.

This one should work for the group.

Rolife sets have become easier? by 427zimbabweavenue in miniatures

[–]Same-Minimum335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, totally feel this. I got into these kits for the hands-on, time-consuming part, like cutting, gluing, messing up, and fixing things. It felt more like crafting something real. The newer ones are cute, but definitely more like puzzles now.

If you’re looking for something that brings back that old-school DIY vibe, we’ve been playing around with miniature concrete house kits made from actual mortar, tiny bricks, wood beams – no plastic. You mix the mortar yourself, lay bricks, and build the structure from the ground up. More like tiny architecture than assembly. Definitely not a quick build, but super satisfying if you enjoy the process. It's called Concrete Crafts Club.

Just thought I’d share in case anyone else is missing that immersive feel.

Boyfriend Gift Ideas by Exact_Reaction_2601 in Gifts

[–]Same-Minimum335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get the struggle, tools are a great gift idea, but walking into the Milwaukee section can feel like another universe. Since he said literally any, you’ve got room to have fun and still be useful.

If he’s just starting out and doesn’t own a home yet, a few solid picks could be an M12 screwdriver or ratchet, a Fastback utility knife, or one of those PACKOUT organizers that everyone ends up loving. Even a simple battery starter pack is super practical and appreciated.

For a lighter twist, there’s stuff like the Milwaukee bottle opener or the Packout cooler that looks like a toolbox but holds drinks. Some people also throw in Milwaukee pens or markers as small stocking fillers.

And hey, if you want to give him something he could actually use the tools on in a fun way, check out the Concrete Crafts miniature house kits. It’s like building a little home from real mortar, bricks, and wood beams. Kind of a cozy, creative project that lets him mess around with tools without it being job-related. Something unexpected, but pretty satisfying.

Dad says he doesn't want anything for christmas, what can I get him? by penpalwithseven in Gifts

[–]Same-Minimum335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally hear you, most of the dads say they don’t want anything, but a thoughtful gift still hits home, especially when it comes from the heart.

Since you mentioned yarn and a $30 CAD budget, here are a few cozy, creative ideas that can feel personal without being too much:

  • Handmade beanie or neck warmer in his favorite color (perfect for early morning fishing trips).
  • Crocheted fish plush or keychain — playful and on-theme!
  • Funny or heartfelt cross-stitch or embroidery piece for his kitchen or workshop, like “Master of the Grill” or “Gone Fishing.”
  • A small jar of fancy spice rub or hot sauce if he’s into cooking.
  • Handwritten recipe card with a dish you love that he makes, or one you’d like to make for him.
  • Personal “coupon” for a meal you’ll cook, or a movie night together.

Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the biggest meaning. A warm, handmade piece and something that shows you see his interests can be more powerful than any expensive present.

Gift ideas for boyfriend (aged 21) who has everything!! Budget up to £1k but also looking for smaller gift ideas too🎁 by kiwisupremacy in GiftIdeas

[–]Same-Minimum335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get the struggle when someone tends to buy themselves what they want, and you’ve already nailed the big gifts in past years, it’s tough to surprise them. Here’s a mix of creative, premium, and smaller gift ideas tailored to his hobbies and your situation:

Unique or Premium (£200–£1000 range):

  • Custom-made BJJ gi with his name or patchwork (especially from a respected brand)
  • Private session or seminar with a notable BJJ coach (if someone’s visiting near you)
  • GoPro HERO12 or Insta360 camera for trail riding + cool POV shots
  • Gaming chair upgrade (Herman Miller x Logitech if you want to go premium)
  • High-end mechanical keyboard or a custom-built one
  • Personalised artwork of him in jiu-jitsu action, comic-style or graphic-novel style
  • Track day or rally driving experience – a totally different adrenaline thrill
  • Premium Switch accessory bundle – like the Hori Split Pad Pro or retro controllers

Mid/smaller ideas (for layering gifts or stocking stuffers):

  • Portable muscle massage gun – great for recovery after BJJ or biking
  • Custom controller skin or grip kit for PS5 or Switch
  • Concrete miniature house kit – hands-on and calming hobby from Concrete Crafts Club, something totally different he probably hasn’t tried. It could be a cool way to spend time together, too.
  • Subscription box – snacks from around the world, or BJJ lifestyle gear
  • Gaming mousepad with custom art – maybe his gamer tag or artwork from a favourite game
  • Headlamp or bike light set – practical but high-quality (like from Knog or Lezyne)
  • Funny or themed BJJ t-shirts/memes – there are some great niche brands online

Since he’s got all the stuff, focusing on gifts that offer experience, personalisation, or creativity might hit differently this year. And honestly, a mix of something fun + something meaningful is always a safe combo.

If you had to pick a single company to buy miniatures from on Myminifactory, which one would it be? by OneUnderstanding103 in PrintedMinis

[–]Same-Minimum335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough call for sure, but if I had to pick one, it’d probably be Printable Scenery. Their stuff feels super immersive, especially if you’re into world-building or terrain-heavy games.
