If your mum loves to build and design and has a passion for creating projects around the house then maybe give her something different this year for Mother’s Day.

 

Each year we look for something special to show our mums how much we love and appreciate them.  We do that with flowers, chocolates, candles and other lovely pressies but how about this year you give her something a little different. 

You can still give her a bunch of flowers but how about throwing a power tool or laser into the mix and help support her growing DIY creativity.

To help you out I have included a list below of some of the main tools that I would recommend when you’re just getting started.

1. Laser Measure

 

In a renovation of any kind, you will need a measure. Whether you’re renovating your kitchen or checking ceiling heights or measuring a room, the Laser Measure is so handy, you literally point and click and get an accurate measurement.  This is a game-changer when you’re measuring a room, it’s quick and easy. and mum will love it!

This is an amazing tool that will save you time and have your mum looking like a complete pro.  Whether she’s

  • hanging shelves or wall decor or
  • hanging curtains
  • renovating a kitchen or
  • hanging a barn door or
  • tiling or
  • installing a kitchen or cabinets

I mean the list is literally endless, the laser level is a great tool to allow you handsfree levelling – saving you time and money.

BONUS TIP

If you plan to buy mum a tool then I would highly recommend keeping them in the same brand family.  This way you can buy mum the same brand of tool the following year and no need to buy a new battery every time.
