Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys DIY home improvement projects, there are many thoughtful and practical gift ideas that cater to his passion. These gift suggestions will not only inspire him but also equip him with the tools and resources he needs to pursue his hobby.

1. Tool Set: A high-quality toolset is essential for any DIY enthusiast. Look for a comprehensive set that includes essentials like screwdrivers, pliers, a hammer, a tape measure, and a utility knife. This will not only help him handle various projects but also give him a sense of pride in his collection.

2. DIY Books: Encourage your son's love for DIY home improvement by gifting him some informative and inspirational books on the subject. Look for books that cover a wide range of projects, techniques, and tips for successful home improvements. Some popular titles include "The DIY Home Planner" by Karianne Wood, "The Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual" by Family Handyman, or "The Home Edit Life" by Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin.

3. Power Tools: If your son doesn't have a specific power tool, consider adding one to his collection. Assess his current needs and consider tools like a cordless drill, jigsaw, circular saw, or a multi-tool. These tools will enable him to take on a wider variety of projects and make his DIY endeavors easier and more efficient.

4. Workshop Organization: Help your son keep his DIY workspace tidy and organized with storage solutions. Wall-mounted tool racks, pegboards, or sturdy shelves will provide him with easy access to his tools and materials. Consider a magnetic wristband to hold small metal items like screws and nails while he works.

5. DIY Classes or Workshops: Enhance your son's skills and knowledge by gifting him a DIY class or workshop. Look for local community centers, home improvement stores, or online platforms that offer hands-on workshops or online courses covering various aspects of home improvement. This will not only provide him with new skills but also allow him to interact with fellow DIY enthusiasts.

6. Home Improvement Magazine Subscription: A subscription to a home improvement magazine can provide your son with a wealth of ideas, inspiration, and tips for his projects. Consider popular magazines like "This Old House," "Family Handyman," or "Fine Homebuilding." He will appreciate having a regular dose of creative ideas and expert advice delivered to his mailbox.

7. Personalized Work Apron: Personalize a work apron with your son's name or a witty quote that reflects his love for DIY. This thoughtful gift will make him feel special and professional while working on his projects.

8. Safety Gear: Safety should always be a top priority during DIY projects. Ensure your son has protective equipment like safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, and a dust mask. Consider upgrading his current safety gear with higher-quality options or purchasing new equipment if needed.

Remember to consider your son's specific interests and needs when selecting a gift. By choosing a gift that aligns with his passion for DIY home improvement projects, you are not only showing him support but also providing him with the tools and resources to continue pursuing his hobby.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
