Ten Great Gifts for Do-it-Yourselfers (DIYs)

What gift are you planning to give your favorite DIY Do-It-Yourselfer this holiday season? If you know anyone who is constantly performing DIY Do-It-Yourself style home improvements, volunteering for handyman jobs for friends and family, or inventing new concepts for home design and repair, it’s likely they can be considered a Do-It-Yourselfer. DIY Do-It-Yourselfers marvel in the concept of tearing into a flooring project with a smile on their face and two different hammers in their personalized tool belt. A Do-It-Yourselfer seldom balks at any request for carpentry or drywall help and can load a cutting tool with a fresh blade in less than sixty seconds flat with a hearty and enthusiastic grunt. Here are ten great gifts for the Do-It-Yourselfer in your life:

Magazine Subscription – Do-It-Yourselfer Magazines like The Family Handyman are nothing new; people have been purchasing the original Better Homes and Gardens for decades, and now BH & G Do It Yourself, a Better Homes and Gardens spinoff, is also available for a more defined audience of craftsmen and creative ladies who love making their home space work.

Craftsman Laser Trac ™ Laser Combo Kit – Do-It-Yourselfers typically love gadgets, and a Craftsman Laser Trac™ Laser Combo Kit available from Craftsman.com (a division of SEARS) is one of the top gadgets requested by many do-it-yourselfers. This kit is a wonderful inclusive tool essential for anyone who likes to build, repair, and improve their home. The kit, which retails for $59.99, includes a laser level, three bases for mounting, safety glasses, a laser guided measuring tool, and a sturdy carrying case. A laser measuring tool can help your favorite do-it-yourselfer calculate distance in square feet or cubic feet, in any range from two to up to fifty feet. The unit can be held, mounted, or leveled on a tripod or horizontal surface. This is far superior to a messy blue chalk line kit.
