What on Earth do you buy men for Christmas? Well I have done some research for you and come up with this ultimate gift guide for DIY-ers available on Amazon. What’s more I have run every item past my “in-house expert” and got the thumbs up. You see, I wouldn’t want to be recommending any old rubbish. Only tried and tested products make it into my list of suggestions.

These Bifocal Safety Glasses are my husband’s No. 1 recommendation. Isn’t it fascinating what excites men? No need to wear safety specs over reading glasses which never really works. You can choose the strength to suit too. So very useful!
This magnetic wristband is one of the most useful items a man can have in his toolbag. Saves time, hassle and energy picking up screws, nuts and bolts. Helps get the job done quicker!
In a similar vein, here is a fantastic belt pocket for all those screws and nails that dig in to you when you have them in your jeans pocket. Belt and hammer loop also available.
I must admit these socks would probably become rather annoying and far too useful for the wearer, but you have to humour them sometimes and they are a bit of fun!
Winter takes its toll. Cracked and chapped hands can be soothed with this industrial strength hand cream. Pop a pot in his stocking.
Tiling, flooring, grouting, skirting boards…let him grovel on the floor in comfort with these hard-wearing kneepads! So thoughtful!
No more blunt tools with this Professional Diamond Stone Sharpening Set. Perhaps you could suggest some reciprocal diamond goodies for you!!
What to do with all those little things that turn up in pockets and on every available surface, that really have no home and drive you mad! Solution, a Man Tin! That reminds me. ..have you ever watched Michael McIntyre’s “The Man Drawer”? Go on Google it and have a laugh.
Our multimeter is in daily use for testing circuits and electricals. This basic model is not a cheap one but is a reliable make and accurate which is an essential requirement!
This Bluetooth Beanie is such a good idea. Keeps his ears warm and you don’t have to suffer his music…win win! It’s fully washable and comes in a myriad of designs too!
Just to counter the socks, here is a must-have mug, to avoid any awkward errors or unnecessary injuries!
My husband goes nowhere without his trusty knife pouch. In fact, I even have to remember to prise it off him at the airport!
Screwdriver bits are very like socks in many ways. They are always disappearing and if you do have one it’s always the wrong one. Having a boxful in-stock can save having to raid the washing machine filter when he’s on the search.
Show you care with these really tough, cut-resistant work gloves. They have rubber dots for easy gripping and protect against sharp edges and other nasties.
Workshop pencils forever need sharpening, but not so with this carpenter’s mechanical version. Frustration avoided!
Apparently this Machine Wax could be very handy for everyone! When you’ve just had enough, tell him to “Go Buff Your Tools!”
This great bodywarmer has been suggested and recommended by one of my lovely AperoGirl subscribers. Her partner is a carpenter and was “over the moon” with his.

Hi outstanding website! Does running a blog such as this require a
great deal of work? I’ve absolutely no expertise in coding however I was hoping to
start my own blog in the near future. Anyways, should you have any
suggestions or tips for new blog owners please share. I know this is off
subject but I just had to ask. Thank you! https://Caferule.com/
Hi, thank you! I’m so happy you like my blog. Tbh it takes a fair bit of work to set up a blog, but then you can do as much or as little as you like. I haven’t done a lot lately as life has just got in the way, but I hope to pick it up again soon. I wrote a post about starting a blog which you might find helpful. https://aperogirl.com/2017/10/24/start-a-blog/ I just checked out your website too – it’s really beautiful! Good luck x
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of
this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get
that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appearance.
I must say you have done a amazing job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super quick for me on Opera.
Outstanding Blog!
Thank you very much for your feedback. Glad you are enjoying it 😊
