May I suggest a hand knit blanket made out of chunky yarn for maybe really big books? They also look delightfully heavy.
Knitting! 
(I crochet, mostly. 
Wife is a knitter, though, and always wants me to try.)
omg I knew it! 
But it’s hand knitting! No hooks! Right? Right?
But I totally get it! We learned knitting and crocheting in elementary and I always preferred the latter. There was some sort of satisfaction when I got the knitting just right, though. Still: For “turn your mind off” style DIY I’d go for crocheting I think.
