Does it feel like you’re still finding sand in places it doesn’t belong? Then, you look around and -BAM- the holidays have snuck up on you! Your shopping suddenly starts to grow and figuring out the perfect gift for everyone on your list becomes another task to tackle.
Is someone on your list a DIY-expert or fan of the fixer-upper? We have the perfect gift ideas to keep the home improvement gurus in your life rocking around the toolbox all year long. Here are a few of our favorites:
- Cordless drill. This could be a tool the person you are shopping for already owns, but they may need an upgrade! There are many things to consider when choosing a cordless drill. For instance, the more clutch settings there are, the more control one will have over the screws. Most cordless drills offer the ability to both drill and drive screws so make sure you pick one that offers the most versatility.
- Work gloves. Who hasn’t received a pair of gloves or mittens from their aunt or in their stocking during the holidays? Well, gloves aren’t just for warmth and fashion. Many home improvement gurus need work gloves to protect their hands while executing their projects. Pick up a nice leather pair, one that doesn’t snag and allows the person wearing them to get a good grip on whatever they’re holding.
- Laser level. Think about all of the times you were alone and wanted to hang something on your wall. You are trying to balance a level while also trying to get the object in its place. There are now laser levels that can be suctioned to the wall, leaving your hands free to finagle with the object!
- Showerhead. Showerheads do a lot more than shoot out tap water these days. You can get a showerhead that filters out chlorine and other impurities in the water for a less harsh bathing experience. You can also get showerheads that have a pop-in speaker that connects to your Bluetooth and streams your favorite songs while you shower or bathe. They make the perfect gift for someone redoing their bathroom.
- Plant sensor. Does your special someone like to grow their own vegetables or plant flowers to improve their curb appeal? PlantSense offers the EasyBloom Plant Sensor that you place in the soil and attach to a USB. Once it’s hooked up to your computer, you can determine what plants, flowers, vegetables are best suited for your environment. Gardening has never been so easy (or fun)!
- Organizer. Home improvement DIYers have an array of tools and items they need to store away. Help them get it all tidied up with a new toolbox, rolling cabinet, tote bag or bucket organizer. When everything is organized, it saves time executing a project since there is no fumbling around and questioning where they put that hammer last.
The home improvement gurus in your life will be thanking you until the next holiday season when they finally put your gift to use.
