Homemade Christmas Gift for Long Term Boyfriend

My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years off and on so we've been through all the holidays. Whenever I ask him what he wants, he says he doesn't care or that he doesn't want anything. I want to get him something that means something to him, and that is possibly homemade (any suggestion helps!). Last Christmas I gave him a collage of a bunch of random pictures that he loved. Any suggestions?

On again/off again together for three years and not really caring what he gets, if anything, tells me there's not a gift, personally made or otherwise, that will really makes a difference. What kind of gifts of true effort, time and love does he give to you? Decide what to buy or make for him based on what he does for you and/or gives to you.

I'm going to make my husband a sterling silver ring (formed from sheet metal that I've soldered, filed, and hammered). Most everyone on my list is getting handmade jewelry. But I wouldn't put that kind of work (and the expense of the metals) into something for someone who doesn't care about it or want anything. Someone who feels like that gets something like a gift card or underwear from me.
