Home Improvement Gifts for 2010

The holidays are here, and once again it is that time of year to find a gift for the home improvement addict of the house. Whether your hubby is the jack of all trades handyman, your lady likes to decorate, or your family is undergoing a massive home makeover, these gifts will find a place in all their hearts.

Tool Kits

No work station could be complete without a set of serious tools. Target has a great selection of tool kits for less than 30 dollars that range from a basic set to a full-blown 200 piece complete project set. Best of all, these kits come in all kinds of colors to satisfy the handyman (or woman) in your life.

Gift Cards

Sometimes the best gift is money, especially when it comes to home improvement projects. Home Depot, Lowes, and most big name home improvement stores offer gift cards so that your home improvement enthusiast can get just what they need for their next project.

Energy Star Appliances

Want to improve the home and save some serious cash by helping the planet? Look no further than Energy Star. These appliances, which range anywhere from washing machines to flat screen TVs, not only help Mother Earth by using less energy, they also happen to save you a big chunk of money on your energy bill. Best of all, many of these appliances qualify for tax incentives which can save you even more cash.

Home Improvement Books

No matter what someone's hobby is, they can never have enough books on the subject. Home improvement is no exception and offers some wildly entertaining and useful reads. Find out what the many uses of duct tape are in Jim Berg and Tim Nyberg's The Jumbo Duct Tape Book. And for the serious home improvement junkie check out the Black and Decker Complete Photo Guide to Home Improvement or the Home Depot's Home Improvement: 1-2-3. Both of these books offer expert advice and great photos for some of the more popular home improvement projects.

Gardening Gifts

More than just a hobby for ladies in sunhats, gardening has long been a key factor in home improvement. After all, what's the use of having a lovely home inside if you can't even get your landscaping together? For the gardener in the family gift them some gardening tools from the local nursery. You can also gift them great books on flowers, eco-friendly gardening, and urban gardening. Last but not least, consider giving the gardener in your life some beautiful potted plants for their collection.
