This year, Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 11th. Those who are celebrating their wonderful mommies have about a week and a half to secure the perfect gifts. Yes, flowers and chocolates are classics. But not all moms are the same. Are you thinking about surprising the handy mom in your life with something she’ll truly appreciate?
Please don’t assume plumbing tools and accessories are for guys only. Ladies everywhere are quite capable of fixing leaky faucets, building garden beds and upgrading bathrooms. Let’s go through a few thoughtful gifts that celebrate your handy mom’s skills and passions!
A multi-tool kit with a feminine touch.
Look for a high-quality multi-tool set with ergonomic grips. The best sets come complete with the essentials. We’re talking about a hammer, screwdrivers, a level, measuring tape and a utility knife. But think a bit deeper. Perhaps it’s time to get your mom a tool kit in her favourite colour.
Amazon offers a beautiful pink 20-in-1 multi-tool knife. It includes a sharp knife, a serrated knife, various pliers, a slotted screwdriver, a wire cutter and a bottle opener, just to name a few tools.
A cordless power drill.
Is your mom still using a screwdriver for everything? Perhaps now is the time to upgrade her toolbox with a lightweight cordless drill. It’s an excellent tool for mounting shelves, assembling furniture or doing minor home repairs. Look for models with adjustable speeds, multiple drill bits and a rechargeable battery pack.
Home Depot offers the DEWALT 20V Max Lithium-Ion Cordless Drill. It’s “designed with a high-performance motor that delivers 300 unit Watt out (UWO) of power,” promotes their website, “This compact, lightweight design can tackle a wide range of applications and features a 2-speed transmission and single sleeve ratcheting chuck.”
A personalized tool belt or apron.
Some of the most thoughtful gifts you can give are those that are one of a kind. Adding a personalized touch to any gift is bound to make the recipient feel super special. Help your handy mom to stay organized in style with a custom tool belt or work apron. You can add her name or a fun message like “Magic Mom” to give it that personal flair. Look for options with plenty of pockets for nails, screws and small tools.
Etsy carries a Personalized Gardening Carry Bag that is large enough to fit all gardening essentials in. “It has lots of useful pockets for tools,” their site informs, “Add a pair of gloves, kneeler or garden tools for the perfect garden gift. Features a myriad of pockets and loops around the edge, plus a roomy interior so you have everything you need right on hand…This denim garden tool bag has many spacious compartments to store garden tools.”
