If you’re starting to think about Christmas gifts for those in your life or have birthdays or anniversaries or retirement occasions to buy for soon, you may have a particular home handyman you want to buy for.
If so, it pays to think about what they could use to help them do their jobs and the types of products that are sure to pique their interest. Here are some gift ideas to get you started.
A Drill or Drill Bit Set
If the handyman in your life has been complaining that his drill isn’t doing the job he needs it to or if you know he settled for an inferior product when he really had his eye on something of a higher quality, you might like to invest in a new drill for him this Christmas or on the next gift-giving occasion.
Alternatively, perhaps your home handyman could do with a helpful drill bit set. There are many excellent drill bit sets on the market, with many top brands and lesser-known ones producing options. As a good all-rounder option, you could choose a solid 14-piece set with drill bits that go up to half an inch in diameter and boast titanium pilot points for smooth operation and work surface grip.
It pays to search for drills and drill bit sets that come with at least a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 12-month or more warranty, to boot. If you’re unsure which brands the handyman you know may like, you could check out the other tools in his arsenal and see if he favors one or two particular ones.
Adjustable Wrench Set
Another set idea that’s worth exploring is an adjustable wrench set. Wrenches help handymen with numerous jobs around the home and elsewhere, such as fastening and loosening, tightening, turning, and gripping things. They can be used on pipes, fittings, nuts and bolts, etc., and come in numerous shapes and sizes for different jobs.
A wrench set will set your guy up for many years of work and typically include six, eight, ten, and 12-inch wrenches as well as a handy storage tray. Purchase products that feature an over grip for comfort on longer jobs and chrome vanadium steel or other quality materials for durability over the years.
Tool Belt
No self-respecting home handyman will be without a tool belt. These items are incredibly useful when one needs lots of goods nearby to complete jobs but free hands to do them, and they can help to ensure small pieces, such as screws or nails, don’t get lost in the process. Whether the handyman you’re buying for has never been keen to outlay funds on a proper tool belt or his current one is wearing out, this product will surely help him out.
Choose a tool belt with multiple adjustable pouches, a secure and durable steel buckle or the like to cope with years of being worn, and leather or other heavy-duty materials for the main body of the belt to make it weatherproof and robust.
Gift Voucher for a Home Depot Store
If you feel like your handyman already has stocked up comprehensively on most of the gear you think he’d need, or he has particular tastes and you find it challenging to know what to pick, you might like to present him with a voucher to a home depot store.
Most home handymen end up at shops like this often and regularly spot items they know they need to upgrade or haven’t needed until a new job presents itself. Allow a handyman to enjoy shopping for new tools and other equipment, or even materials or other supplies to make products around the home, and he’s sure to appreciate your gift.
Magazine Subscription
For something to provide year-long inspiration, why not consider buying a handyman a home decorating magazine subscription or a building, renovating, or other related magazine option? Many on the market cater to the home handyman, and they can help him see how to improve your property or others’ and inspire new ideas for décor, completing renovation and maintenance tasks, and more.
Consider the magazines you’ve seen the handyman you know bringing home in the past or the ones he’s flicked through when at the shops, and you’ll soon have an idea of what might be a good fit for him.
Other gift ideas to think about include:
- quality work gloves
- wet/dry vacuum
- sturdy toolbox
- socket tool set
- multi-function work table
- screwdriver set
- Bluetooth speaker and radio that can play music or podcasts while the handyman works
- Massage voucher or at-home massage machine to relieve tight muscles from working
The ideas are plentiful and affordable in many instances, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a gift to suit the home handyman in your life.
