These small items are ultra-practical, and will fit into a Christmas sock or fun gift basket.
carpenter’s Pencils
wood glue
head lamps
These are our go-to whenever the power is out or someone has to go down into the crawlspace. Oh, and did I mention camping? The kids love them too, and at this price, you can order one for everyone on your list!
speed square
paintbrushes
These are my favorite inexpensive paintbrushes- especially the angled one in the middle. It’s perfect for cutting in and detailed trim work.
Box Cutter/ Utility knife
Earplugs
Drywall anchors
tin snips
These are the next step up from a pair of scissors. Anytime you need to cute sheet metal, heavy plastic, whatever, you’ll want a pair of these in your tool bucket.
super glue
Most of my projects that require super glue only need a tiny bit. These mini single-use tubes are perfect for small jobs and you don’t have to worry about clogged tips.
multi-Tool
ratcheting screwdriver
hammer
Tape measure
Everyone needs one of these. I actually keep one in my purse!
Family Handyman magazine
My dad & Peter both enjoy this magazine… and Peter has actually built me a few cool projects from it! A one-year subscription is only $5 right now, so it’s a great stocking stuffer!
