diy-er wishlist

If you're anything like me, you probably still have some people left to shop for. And if you're reading this blog, chances are you have someone on your Christmas list who is a handyman (or woman). If that's the case we have some gift ideas for your beloved DIYer.

These are Nick's picks, all stamped with his approval. And trust me, when it comes to tools, that can be hard to get.

Everybody needs a hammer, but chances are the person on your list may already have a standard hammer. Crank it up a notch with a 24 oz framing hammer. This $29.98 version of the Dead On is the exact hammer Nick uses.

Nick is a hardcore DeWalt fan. And by hardcore we mean every single power tool he owns is a DeWalt. If you want to enable your loved one to get hooked on DeWalt, the hubs recommends this circular saw. But, we know this $129 saw doesn't fit every budget. So if you're looking for something more budget friendly Nick would recommend this version, at a very reasonable $49.99.

If you have a hardcore DIYer on your list you probably have no idea how excited they can get about something like screwdrivers. Really. And if it's a handtool, Nick swears by Craftsman. He recommends the 8 piece set for only $14.99 or the set pictured below for $19.99.

Nick has a small collection of drills/drivers/hammers drill. I asked him what his number 1 pick would be and he said it would be DeWalt's 18V Hammer Drill/Driver. 

But if $139 isn't in your budget range, Nick's budget pick would be the $64 corded version.

Every weekend warrior needs a socket set. Nick recommends this Craftsman 20 piece starter set for $39.99.

We use our speed square constantly. It never leaves Nick's toolbelt. Great gift and one that will be used a lot! Plus, at just $10 it's a great deal.

Until I married Nick I had no idea how different tape measures could be. You guys, my husband has a favorite tape measure. NERD ALERT. But this is it, and it might be the perfect stocking stuffer for someone on your list! The Stanley FatMax for $19.97.

There you have it - a DIY gift list. Any of these pop up on your list this year? Or have they found their way under your tree before?

So, how many of you have all your shopping done? We've made a good dent in our list but we definitely still have some work to do!
