Handy people are some of the most difficult people to shop for. Chances are, they can make whatever it is they want themselves. But alas, there always comes a point when even the most skilled DIY’er needs to refresh their toolbox —and that’s where you can help. From essential tools to keep them stocked to a few welcome extras to make their jobs a little easier (think some noise-canceling headphones to help them stay in the zone or a soothing post-project massage gun), we found the 33 best gifts any home-improvement guru will actually want.
While you’re perusing this list for the handy men and women in your life, go ahead and pick up a few of these gifts for yourself, too. A lightweight wall organizer for finally decluttering your garage? Might as well stop putting off that chore. Some sleek bins for housing your seemingly never-ending collection of knickknacks? You could always use more. The point is, even if the extent of your handiness is being able to screw in a lightbulb, these practical items are useful for, well, anyone.
Studio Buds
If you want to avoid listening to whatever playlist they’re blasting while they work, these noise-cancelling earbuds are as much a gift for you as they are for them.
