Gift Ideas for the Home Project DIYer in Your Life

Any serious home renovation DIYer knows that in order to be successful (and do your best work), you need an arsenal of high-quality tools and gear at your disposal. Because home projects can run the gamut in type, scope, and end goal, having a solid set of tools and equipment at the ready can save you endless stress and needless time wasted when you’re in project mode. And, if you’re able to keep them all well-organized, It makes all the difference during DIY time, when you may need to swap tools at a moment’s notice.

Here, we’ve gathered our dream gift list for all the seasoned (and up-and-coming) home DIYers in our lives, from tools to handy gear that will make any project easier—big or small.

Basic Tool Kit

There’s simply no “do-it-yourself” without a basic, high-quality tool set. If you’re shopping for someone who is just getting started in the home project game, start them off strong with something like the Stanley 65-piece Homeowner’s Tool Kit. Between pliers, ratchets, screwdrivers, a hammer, a level, and more, this kit has everything a homeowner needs to take on small projects and fixes around the house. Plus, it all comes packed in a handy box that keeps your precious tools in order.

Magnetic Wristband

It might seem unnecessary to the non-DIYer, but a magnetic wristband is a fabulous gift for keeping those pesky screws, nails, and drill bits that tend to get lost in the shuffle of a house project right by your side—literally. The RAK Magnetic Wristband has a strong magnets placed throughout the wristband that keep those smaller pieces in place and within easy reach. The DIYer on your gift list might not realize they need this, but once they’ve got a magnetic wristband they’ll start to wonder how they ever went without.
