Looking for the perfect holiday gift for your favourite fixer? Whether they’re the family toy repair person, a furniture builder, or all-around handy DIYer if the workshop is his domain, you’ll find tons of gifts to inspire and support they’re hobby.
If there’s one thing family fixers usually have in common, it’s their workshop. Either in the basement or the garage, this is the spot where treasured tools are kept, things are built … and sometimes where they hide out from the rest of the family. Give them a gift that makes their workshop a pleasurable place to visit.
Here are gifts that would make a great addition to the workshop.
