Mother’s Day is just around the corner! It’s on Sunday, May 11th to be exact. In our last blog, we offered up some of our favourite Mother’s Day gift ideas for the handy mom in your life. We understand, of course, that you may still be looking for the perfect present. As well, we’re aware you may be pretty busy. If you’re currently finding yourself in a “last minute shopper” position, allow us to help you out with three more Mother’s Day gift ideas for your DIY-loving mom.
1. Heavy-duty garden kneeler and seat.
Some moms are much more comfortable in the garden than they are under a sink with a wrench in hand. If so, a heavy-duty garden kneeler with a built-in seat is a win-win. This is an especially great gift for older moms and those combating mobility issues. It will protect her knees, help her stay organized and double as a comfy spot to rest between planting perennials. Be sure to look for one with foldable legs for easy storage.
Canadian Tire carries the Garden Club Kneeler & Seat. Promoted as the answer to sore gardening knees, “this versatile garden kneeler and seat is constructed from durable steel and perfect for those moments where you need to either take a break or support your knees. Simply stand the frame upright to be used as a gardening seat or flip it over to use as a kneeler.”
2. Magnetic wristband for screws and nails.
Arguably, one of the most frustrating aspects of plumbing or other DIY-jobs at home is the dropping of screws and nails. Have you have had to run up and down the ladder for forgotten tool bits as well? A magnetic wristband is a simple but genius solution to these problems. Offer your mom the gift that will hold onto screws, nails, washers and even small tools while she works. Look for ones with adjustable Velcro straps for a comfortable fit.
Wayfair Canada offers the WFX Utility Super Magnetic Wristband with 3 Powerful Magnets. “This magnet wristband is embedded with 3 super strong magnets, it is your best solution,” explains their website, “This magnetic wristband can be adjusted to fit any wrist, unisex design that suits both.”
3. LED light-up safety glasses.
Needless to say, working in the dark or in cramped spaces can be dangerous. Why not give Mom the gift of seeing her projects in a whole new light? LED safety glasses combine eye protection with built-in lights. They are perfect for plumbing repairs under sinks or late-night tinkering in the garage. They’re especially useful in tight spaces where lighting is limited.
Grow Lights Canada sells the Dual Lens LED/HID Grow Room Safety Glasses. “When working with any HID Lighting system, the light output can actually damage our eyes,” informs their site, “Through innovation and technological advances within the horticultural industry, we have developed cutting-edge eye-wear, allowing the user to comfortably work within their grow space efficiently being able to identify deficiencies, or any lurking issues usually masked with such intense light.”
