Hi There , I use a basket with wood items or just plain pieces ( not too rough) and foam sanding blocks . My guys usually very happy to sand them for me a little so I can use them for painting . I also use men's hankies they fold for me and socks. Some men like to put the "bills" into (used recycled) envelopes for me to be able to mail them , this goes for the ladies as well, all are meaningful activities and often relate to the background of people. Hope that helps ( I am new here) but like to share some experiences.
