Great gifts for the DIY person

By jjohnson

Most families have a person who is a dedicated DIY (do it yourself) type of person. They have a passion for creating things and sometimes for taking things apart and fixing them. Perhaps if we are willing to admit it, we are that DIY person. It can be great having them around because things get fixed and new things get made. What is best is when the DIY person has the space and tools needed to enjoy their passion.

Here are some great gifts with this person in mind.

This workbench is the dream of the dedicated DIY person. With its adjustable height, it can be made a perfect fit for anyone’s size. The acacia wood top makes this a beautiful item that will look good in the workroom. It is very sturdy with its steel frame, but also easy to maneuver since it has caster wheels. There is plenty of room for all the tools and plenty of room to work with its large top.

Lighting is essential when working on projects and just as essential when we are hunting for tools to a project. That is where this under cabinet lighting can help with our workbench. This light strip is bright with warm white LED lights spanning 36 inches. Just the perfect length for our workbench. This light will adhere to the underside of the bench and be out of the way, while it offers that much needed illumination. It comes with a remote and allows the lights to be dimmed for that just right amount of glow.

Having light where we need it is essential in getting some of the more intricate jobs done. These flashlight headbands with adjustable straps will shine brightness where it is needed the most, leaving the hands free for the task. Adjustable so the light goes exactly where it is needed.

Fixing and creating are time intense processes. It is easy for the DIY person to get caught up in the thrill of it all and forget about the time on the clock. Here is a great solution for getting their attention whenever we need it. This wireless doorbell has a push button ringer and a chime receiver. It is battery operated so no need to plug it in. It works within 1000 feet, which is perfect for a distance between the house and the workroom. No more shouting for them to come in. With a push of the button we can summon them away from the project. No more late dinners or forgotten appointments.

What a great way to show the DIY person how much we appreciate all their fix it help. These hammock straps are just what is needed to string a hammock between two trees. They come with a 20 foot long, 1 inch thick rope. There are 38 loops and 2D carabiners, all that is needed to hang that hammock and get some much needed relaxation.
