DIY is an abbreviation of do-it-yourself, which means that people who DIY are those who like to take on projects and tasks themselves. They enjoy the satisfaction that comes with finishing a project without having to rely on others for help. But it’s not always easy to get started when you’re new at DIYing and don’t know where or how to start. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of gifts for DIYers!

Saws

Saws are a great present for anyone who loves do-it-yourself projects. There are quite a few types of saws and one of the most popular is the hand saw. This saw’s blade is on the underside and its handle on top so it can be used to cut through wood or other materials vertically or horizontally without making an awkward angle with your arm and wrist. The hand saw has been around since ancient times but was not common until after 1800 when metal blades became available for this tool. 

Another type is a chainsaw. Most popular are the gas-powered ones and electric chainsaws. When shopping for the latter make sure to look at all electric chainsaw reviews you can find online before deciding on a model. This will allow you to get the perfect one for your friend. 

Drills

Drills are a perfect gift since they are a tool that every home needs for various repairs and DIY projects. This is a perfect gift for the DIYer who already has many tools as it’s a versatile machine that can be used to do anything from drilling small holes in wood, metal, or plastic materials to sanding, sawing, and even polishing. It’s a great electric tool that can do any job that requires steady force. 

There are many electric drills that you can choose from, and if you don’t know much about them consult someone who does or who works with them every day. 

What’s great about electric drills is that they are easy to maneuver, you can get them at all price points, and most electric drills come with an array of features that give the user more power over specific jobs. 

Sander

Another great electric tool that every home needs is a sander as it’s perfect for those who love DIY projects and need to smooth out surfaces for whatever reason. A belt sander is a great electric tool for this, and it can be used on surfaces such as wood or metal. You can choose the type of sander you need depending on how much power you need for your project.

There are many electric sanders that you can consider for this gift idea, but belt sanders are the electric tool that DIYers need to let their creativity shine. They are perfect for woodworkers or artists, and they make the job of sanding much easier than doing it manually.

Toolbox

A set of high-quality tools will make any DIY enthusiast happy. Look for a set from a reputable brand with lots of pieces to ensure you get all the essentials. Think of different types of screwdrivers, hammers, saws, wrenches, and more, for projects of all sizes. Keep in mind that tools with ergonomic grips are more comfortable on the hands, so they’ll be easier to use over time.

Don’t blow your budget on any set of high-quality tools though. There are different brands out there for different price ranges, so make sure to do some comparison shopping before you buy. Remember that the goal here is to give your friend or family member something they’ll actually use, not spend money on an expensive set of tools they’ll only display in their garage.

Work suit

If you know someone who’s recently kicked their DIY game into high gear, then they might be looking to take the next step with the most important tool in any professional’s power: a suit. You can’t go wrong with an impeccably tailored look that’ll help them stand out at every job. While this is probably intended for men mostly, you might be able to find a women’s suit with similar quality tailoring. Make sure to pick ones made from sturdy fabrics that are designed to stand up to the rigors of work, without sacrificing style.

Multitool

When you’re looking to get a gift for someone who likes to do DIY jobs, the last thing you want is another gadget taking up their space. For that reason, multitools are an absolutely perfect solution. They help simplify any job where you need to use one or two different tools at once, so they don’t even feel like they’re using a multitool. There are multi-functional types that include scissors, pliers, wire cutters, and more all in one tool—perfect for the minimalist on your list.

Multitools come in many different types so you can find one specific to your friend or family member’s tasks. For example, if they enjoy outdoor activities, then you might want to get them a multitool specifically designed for camping. Alternatively, if they’re on the hunt for tools that are more on the affordable side of things, then try getting them an inexpensive Swiss Army Knife instead.

For the DIYer in your life, you should consider buying them one of these gifts to help their skills grow. Even if they’re already very skilled at it, there’s always room for improvement. The suit is perfect for those who are looking to take things up a notch! While tools can be found for all budgets and skill levels. Have fun picking out the right gift!
