Top 5 Crafts & DIY Gifts
1) Paint Can Rim Covers - Set of 2
This paint can drip shield makes sure paint stays put without drips or spills, even when pouring it into a tray. The reusable shields fit any standard one-gallon can and are easy to remove, clean, and reuse. A built-in magnet keeps a firm hold on your brush too.
2) Tie Down Straps - Set of Two
Tackle many jobs—from the simple to the tough—with a heavy duty tie down strap built to handle up to 110 pounds of wrapping and securing. There are different lengths to suit your task, and the quick-grab end lets you connect multiple straps. Industrial-grade webbing is durable and flexible (and made in part from recycled plastic bottles) and hook and loop fasteners let you tie down and secure your stuff in one easy step.
3) 3D Laser Cut Metal Model Building Kit
Metal Earth: 3D Laser Cut Metal Model Building Kit - Apollo CSM with LM
4) 3D Puzzle Pet Mini Building Blocks
Block Center: 3D Puzzle Pet Mini Building Blocks - Corgi
5) Collapsible Dolly
The Dozop Collapsible Dolly makes moves both big and small much easier. It’s lightweight (under five pounds) and easy to assemble (takes around a minute) without needing any tools to put it together. The dolly can handle up to 250 pounds of what you need to move and inline skate wheels boost maneuverability over carpet and uneven surfaces. Parts are stored inside the self-contained design to compactly stow away between jobs.
