Tis the season to be giving, and what better way to show you care about your employees or coworkers than a thoughtful holiday gift?
If you need some inspiration, here are some thoughtful gift ideas that will simply make the day-in-the-life of a maintenance professional just a little bit better: 1. Personalized Tool Tote Bag – A utility tote is the perfect gift to stay organized. Get it embroidered with their name or a goofy message. A tool bag makes an ideal gift for any handyman, fisherman, gardener, and it's perfect for the holidays!
2. Contour Gauge – A contour gauge copies and creates an outline of any shape in seconds. Frustrated trying to outline odd shapes and irregular profiles? This tool is perfect for anyone working in flooring, construction or remodeling.
3. Digital Tape Measure – Why not make things easier with a digital tape measure? They feature an LCD screen that makes it faster and easier than ever to get measurements from the tape. No more squinting to read tiny lines on the tape. Find one that measures standard or metric, showing feet, inches, centimeters, decimals, and fractions.
4. Polarized Sunglasses – People who use polarized sunglasses often say they are less tired than usual after hours of battling sun glare. They are especially useful for those who work or spend a lot of time around water, drastically cutting the glare and improving your ability to see into the pool.
5. BlueTooth Ear Pods – Many people enjoy listening to podcasts or music while performing some of their more mindless tasks. Look for units that are waterproof, sweatproof, provide instant pairing, stable transmission, and have a super long battery life.
6. Versatile Multi-Tool – For many people, a multi-tool goes into their pocket every day, regardless of the occasion. It’s the perfect accessory to have on the job, and if it also has a corkscrew, it can be a lifesaver at a party.
7. Personalized Tool Belt – If there is one thing Mr. and Mrs. Fixit might love almost as much as their kids, it's their tools! Get them a nice durable canvas tool belt to keep all of their tools at arm's length with convenient storage pouches, a hammer loop, and a tape measure mount. And step it up a notch by having it personalized with their name.
8. Adjustable reading glasses – Putting on a pair of adjustable eyeglasses restores your eye's ability to change focus. By simply turning a dial, you can change the strength of the lenses from +0.50 to +4.00 D, or to anything in between.
9. Professional Power Station – It functions as a jump starter, a battery charger, and an air compressor allin- one! It’s a must-have in case of emergencies.
10. See-Through Stud Finder – Walabot DIY is a cutting-edge wall scanner that takes stud finder technology to the next level. Capable of 'seeing' up to four inches into walls, it uses radio frequency technology to locate stud centers, track water pipes, and electrical wires and reveal other objects you need to know about to avoid a drilling disaster. Walabot DIY 2 pairs with your iOS or Android phone to produce a visual image of what’s inside drywall.
Some of us don’t want more stuff. And neither do our friends, family, coworkers, and employees. The gifts on the next list mean you don’t have to guess about the right size, color, or what is already in their toolbox. Depending on where you live, there may be plenty of experiences you can gift a love one and not worry that your gift will get shoved directly into their Salvation Army box, tags still attached. Here are some ideas that will last long after the Christmas lights have been taken down and stowed away for next year: 1. Movie, concert, or theater tickets. 2. Massage parlor or day spa. 3. Kayaking, rafting, or boating tour. 4. City sightseeing tour. 5. History or art museum tickets. 6. Horseback riding tour. 7. Restaurant gift card. 8. Wine tasting. 9. Fishing expedition. 10. Ski passes.
