10 Presents Ideal For DIY Fanatics

 

Christmas, birthdays and other gift buying events seem to come round faster and faster each year, but trying to choose something thoughtful and unique each time can be difficult. This year get them something they will love by choosing a gift they will be passionate about.

Is the recipient of your gift someone who likes to get stuck in to a bit of DIY? If so, here are 10 ‘Do-It-Yourself’ gift ideas for her or him, to give you some inspiration.

1. Nuts and Bolts Tin

DIY fanatics can end up with little bits and pieces that can easily get lost or cause a mess. A stylish tin with compartments can be the perfect way to keep all the little accessories organised and tidy.

2. Anywhere Pen

This pen isn’t any old pen, it is the pen you need if DIY is your thing. That is because, unlike a normal pen, this one can write (as the name would suggest) anywhere! It is virtually indestructible, writes upside down and on any surface, even if it is wet.

3. Ladder Buddy

Standing on a ladder and trying to hold your tools at the same time can be a difficult, and a potentially dangerous task. However, a ladder buddy will hold buckets, paint pots and other tools for you, so your hands are free to do the task in hand.

4. Laddermat

This is another great invention for those who spend time up a ladder doing DIY. These heavy-duty mats reduce the risk of slipping and sinking and level a ladder on uneven ground or slopes.

5. Laser Rangefinder

The Laser Rangefinder can measure distances in seconds and has a memory function that holds the last two measurements. Simply point the laser and the large display gives you the reading.

6. Black & Decker Gyro Driver Gyroscopic Screwdriver

This tool uses the same motion sensors you find in smartphones. It is controlled with a gentle flick of the wrist, and then you can increase the drill-driver’s speed with another twist. Screw it in the right direction and it will just keep going.

7. Noise-cancelling Headphones

These headphones won’t only protect the ears of your DIY lover while they work with noisy machinery, they can also swap those noises for sounds they want to hear, such as the radio or their music.

8. Ladies Pink Tool Kit

If you know a DIY fanatic who is also a bit of a girly girl and loves everything pink, this gift is perfect for them. There are various kits available; each comes in a pink carry bag or toolbox, complete with everything they could nee. Included are screwdrivers, hammer and tape measure. Everything they could need for DIY projects, all in their favourite colour.

9. Magazine Subscription

A magazine subscription is the gift that keeps on giving right through the year. Sign them up to a DIY or home and gardens title, so they can receive inspiration for their next project, to their doorstep, each month!

10. DIY Manual

There are so many different DIY manuals available, from the ‘Collins Complete DIY Manual’ to the ‘Do-It-Yourself Manual’ and ‘Women’s Home DIY’ – perfect for any DIY fanatic to read through and refer back to time and time again.
