Choosing a gift for the woodworker in your life can be a daunting experience, especially if you're new to the craft. Fortunately, the wide variety of tools, equipment, supplies, clothing, and organizational items useful for carpenters make these products relatively easy to purchase. The best part is that even if you buy something you already have, like a drill or tape measure, you'll need it for a woodworking project at some point.
As woodworkers, we have the hands-on experience to know that the most useful gift doesn't always have to be an expensive power tool or tool. If they're like us, they'll always appreciate something simple and inexpensive that they use over and over again, like carpenter's pencils, #2 cross bits, or pliers. You can never go wrong with a hug. We've worked with carpenters with decades of experience who will tell you that you can never get enough hugs.
