He always seems to find something new to fix and make better in the home and many Saturday mornings you can hear him clanging away in the garage on yet another DIY project. Because there’s no way he’s paying someone else to do something he can do better, right? Right.
The Home Depot has become like a second home to me after my husband and I bought our first home a few years ago. Prior to my recently discovered love for DIY Projects, it use to be considered a place of sheer monotony.
It wasn’t until I began helping my husband out on small projects around the house and becoming a home owner that I realized how fulfilling it was to complete something for your humble abode… all on your very own!
It saves you tons of money too.
Have you seen my Bathroom DIY’s I completed this past summer with The Home Depot?
You can view my Master Bath Project here and Powder Room Project here.
That was a lot of fun! A tad intimidating at first since I’ve never ripped a vanity off (or anything off a wall for that matter) and of course, I wanted to do the best job possible.
I can’t think of a better thing to gift that “handyman/woman” on your list that enjoys DIY than the gift of “More Saving; More Doing.”
The Home Depot offers gift cards if you fancy that or an array of awesome products at reasonable prices.
Two products that would make them happy are the HUSKY 18″ Rolling Tool Tote and the HUSKY 111-Piece Mechanics Tool Set.
HUSKY 111-Piece Mechanics Tool Set, $49.68
The Husky Mechanics tool set is EXCLUSIVE to The Home Depot and has a lifetime guarantee. Featuring two full polish ratchets, 70 sockets, 22 bits, 14 hex keys and more, these tools are complete with professional chrome finish, providing corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. Sockets are equipped with Surface Drive contact points virtually eliminating the rounding of fasteners and ensuring a long lifespan for your tools. A case for easy storage and transportation makes this multi-use tool set the perfect gift for the handyman or woman in your life.
Husky 18″ Rolling Tool Tote, $69.99
Durable and water-resistant with special designated tool compartments, the Husky rolling tool tote is the perfect storage solution to transport, protect and organize your top tools. With seven internal and 11 external pockets, everything can be conveniently stored in one place. Plus, with accessible carrying handles and rolling wheels, this kit can be easily toted from project to project.
Courtesy of The Home Depot, Day 9’s winner will win a HUSKY 18″ Rolling Tool Tote and a 111-Piece Mechanics Tool Set! I can think of a few folks on my list that would LOVE this! Can you?
