Being a DIY Diva means that I love anything DIY and I also love that my kids know that come Mother's Day, like any other special day, they can spoil me with gifts that I can use in my workshop or craft room. I know that there are plenty of mothers' out there that would also wish for a gift that is practical and will add to their tool collection and I put together this article with those moms in mind.
Having such broad experience in everything DIY, I pretty much know what every DIY Diva needs to make DIY easier and more professional. Making furniture and decor accessories in a fun way saves a lot of money by doing it yourself and the rewards of this are well worth any effort put into projects. Like any craft or hobby, there are certain essentials needed to complete jobs, from pliers and wrenches to drills and sanders, and everything inbetween.
If your mom loves to DIY, here are some gifts to think about that will make Mother's Day a very happy one for mom!
DIY Gifts Under R500
There is always something new on the market for DIY enthusiasts and you might not have the budget to go out and buy. Receiving practical gifts on special occasions will allow any mom to build up a decent collection of gadgets and accessories that make DIY easier.
1. Tape Measure
Not something you would ordinarily think about but a quality tape measure is a valuable tool for anyone who does DIY. Spending a bit more on a tape measure that is good quality and offers a little bit extra is a great addition to a toolbox. The Tork Craft range of tape measures is robust and accurate and makes measuring tasks simpler and error-free.
2. Clamps and Fasteners
What mom doesn't wish she had an extra pair of hands in addition to eyes at the back of her head? A great set of clamps acts as a helping hand when doing projects and frees you up to do other tasks at the same time. The Tork Craft Band Clamp is not only great for strapping boxes but also the perfect clamp for picture frames. The adjustable nylon line features 4 corners that fit snugly to ensure full grip when tightened to hold everything in place.
3. Safety Gear
Who said that DIY Divas can't be stylish while using a screwdriver? Safety gear is essential for any DIY enthusiast and safety glasses should be worn at all times where there is a risk of flying debris. Once you have the safety glasses, store them safely so that the lenses don't get scratched.
Safety gloves are another 'must-have' piece of safety gear that you should never be without, especially when handling timber or board or working with goods with sharp edges and cutting with power tools.
4. Toolbox Tool Storage
Mom's like to be organised whatever the job may be and a sturdy toolbox will organise all the essential hand tools so that they are ready for use. With the right size toolbox you won't need to search the house for a screwdriver or set of pliers.
Any of the above gift ideas would be suitable for the DIY mom and won't break the piggy bank or pop into any Builders store for a Gift Card that mom can use to buy anything she wants. Happy Mother's Day Mom!
