Five Star Gift Ideas

If your boyfriend loves upcycling furniture, then you have plenty of options for a great Christmas gift.

1. Upcycling Course: Consider enrolling your boyfriend in an upcycling course, where he can learn about advanced techniques or refreshing his existing skills. This could be a weekend class, an online course or even a subscription to a tutorial service.

2. Tool Upgrade: For someone regularly involved in upcycling furniture, the right tools are crucial. If you know his workshop set up, consider getting him a new power tool, whether it's a circular saw or an angle grinder.

3. Speciality Hardware: The little touches on cabinet drawers and doors can make a significant aesthetic difference. Look at different knobs, pulls, hinges, and locks. Choose something he'd appreciate but wouldn't necessarily spend the time or money to buy.

4. Unique Wooden Furniture Pieces: Seek out items such as driftwood or old pallets that can be transformed into a coffee table, accent shelf or lamp.

5. Vintage industrial decor items to upcycle: While he might enjoy upcycling furniture pieces, small industrial decor items can also tell a story. Maybe its an old reclaimed barn wood sign for his workshop or an antique rotary phone he can make into a lamp.

6. Supplies: Upcycling includes painting & shading. If your boyfriend likes flat paint, maybe some General Finishes Milk Paint in lamp black or a gallon of High-Performance Water-Based Topcoat would be appreciated.

From courses to materials, unique tools or speciality hardware, there a multitude of gifts that will be appreciated by your boyfriend. Just remember, coming up with something thoughtful will mean a lot more than just buying the latest trendy gadget.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
