DIY Dads

With the approach of Father’s Day came the inevitable arrival of adverts aimed at Dads and what to buy them! Many typical “man gifts” are related to DIY, so here we feature a Top Five of useful – if sometimes bizarre – DIY gifts for the Dad in your life!

A DIY Bible!

There are many good DIY reference books on the market, such as this excellent one from the Dummies range! Not that we’re suggesting your Dad is a dummy of course. But everyone needs a bit of help sometimes…

The Toolkit

Good old favourite! Every man needs one. The example here is described as “must have” and features all the most common tool together in one neat little pouch. How long it would stay like that is anyone’s guess!

Shade Master Fighting Tiger Welding Helmet

A bit of a curve ball this one. But for the serious DIY enthusiast, well why not! Protect his eyes and what’s left of his hair with this fantastic groovy helmet! Will make him the envy of all the other dads and certainly be a talking point for years to come ……

Cordless Drill

What else could a man ask for? For shelving or cupboards or hooks or so many other indoor or outdoor job this drill is perfect!  Cordless too – so ideal for all those awkward nooks and crannies!

A Man Tin …..

Well where else is he going to put all his essential bits and pieces? Comes in standard and extra large sizes for the real enthusiast!

….. and if that’s not big enough to store his man stuff then how about a shed?! We will look at the significance of sheds next time.
