Top 5 Crafts & DIY Gifts
1) Intermediate Wooden Model Building Kit
UGEARS intermediate model kits make building a fun and engaging hands-on experience. These kits are geared towards older kids and adults looking for a more complex project. Each model is pieced together from flat, unfinished, laser-cut plywood parts that don’t need tools or glue to be assembled. The finished product has parts that move, too, to put these models in motion.
2) Mixing Mate Paint Can Lid - Quart
This can mixer and lid combo for paint, varnish, and stain cans is every DIY-er’s dream come true. The Mixing Mate mixes, pours, and stores in one reusable lid—and makes the whole process easier and neater. The paddle mixes up contents, and a trigger on the handle lets you control pours. Leave the lid on to store the can between uses, or rinse it off to move on to your next job.
