Five Star Gift Ideas

If your grandpa enjoys upcycling furniture, there are many unique and thoughtful gift ideas you could consider getting him for Christmas. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Upcycling book: Since your grandpa is interested in upcycling furniture, he might appreciate a book on the subject. "Upcycling Furniture: A Step-By-Step Guide" by Sarah Bowman is an excellent option that provides tutorials and inspiration for various upcycling projects.

2. Salvaged materials: To help your grandpa kick off his next upcycling furniture project, you could search for materials such as old barn wood, pallets, or antique hardware at a local architectural salvage store. Alternatively, you could purchase a gift card to a salvage store, so let him choose his own treasure.

3. Custom stamp: Custom stamps can be used to add a unique touch to upcycling projects. You could get your grandpa a custom-made stamp with his name, initials, or a fun phrase that he can use on his projects. Companies like Etsy offer various sellers with options perfect for your grandpa.

4. Hinge door: Challenge your grandpa with a project using a beautifully crafted hinge door. The unique characteristics and detail of the hinge can be incorporated into desk design, unique shelving brackets or sliding barn doors.

5. Subscription box: You could sign your grandpa up for a monthly subscription box that sends him salvaged, reclaimed, or repurposed materials so that he can practice his upcycling skills on a regular basis.

6. Gift certificate to a local DIY store: If your grandpa likes to shop locally for his furniture projects, it might be a good idea to get him a gift certificate to a local Do It Yourself store like Home Depot, Lowes or Menards.

Whether or not you like upcycling furniture yourself, there are many ways to show your grandpa that you support his passions and interests. With the right gift, he will surely appreciate it and get excited about starting his next project.

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