Gift Ideas for Remodelers 12/1
From LoveToKnow Interior Design
The bad thing about being a girl who's into remodeling is that no one takes your gift suggestions seriously. Last year, I asked for a laser measuring device and got a sweater. This year, I want the laser level (I bought the measuring device myself) and all I hear in response is "yeah, right." So, guys and mothers, take note: not every woman's favorite gift is a sweater or perfume or jewelry (well, maybe jewelry). Consider my gift picks for female remodelers:
Laser Level
The laser level is a nifty device and a big help for hanging pictures and leveling trim work and other carpentry detail. No more juggling an awkward wooden level at the top of the ladder. Plus, it's affordable. Most varieties are under $50.
Laser Measuring Device
The laser measuring device replaces cumbersome metal measuring tapes. No more struggling to get the tape into the corner or getting it to stay straight. Just point the laser and get an instant measurement. And, as everyone knows, measuring is the backbone of any remodeling project.
Wireless Stickup Lightbulbs
Everyone has a corner or a closet that needs a little more light. That place that you're always planning to have rewired, but hesitate to tear into the wall. No more gropping in the dark. These wireless stickup lightbulbs are battery-operated. You simply hang the base and slide in the bulb.
This Old House Magazine
What remodeler doesn't love reading about new home design projects. The best of the remodeling magazines is This Old House, a spin-off of the successful PBS television series.
Tripod Flashlight
Get rid of those old and awkward trouble lights. This new tripod flashlight sets up anywhere, is sturdy, and the beam can be directed right on your project. A telescoping cord allows you to pick up the beam and move it around. Runs over 200 hours on 9 AA batteries.
