Valentine’s Gifts for Men

Valentine’s Day is coming up and while find gifts for her is usually relatively easy for guys, finding gifts for him seems to be a bit more challenging and oftentimes overlooked. Finding a good gift for your guy on Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be hard, and it doesn’t have to be socks and underwear, instead you can use a bit of creativity and buy some gifts he can use to make his job or “honey-do list” easier. One creative blogpost gives a great idea for gifts – a tool bouquet in a bucket – and you can also adapt this into just a gift basket if the bouquet thing is too much. But, if you’re not sure exactly what tools to put in the basket, we can help you with some suggestions. It’s better to choose a few high quality tools over a bunch of cheap, low quality tools. They’ll last longer and do a better job.

The first suggestion is sure spark some suggestions for romantic adventures when it pops up…not that kind of popup, a screwdriver that pops up. Wiha Tools has several different screwdrivers with a popup feature that allows you store bits in the handle making it a 26-in-1 tool. They’re reasonably priced for what you get in the $28 to $52 range. Our bestselling model, the Wiha 77790 is also our most affordable as it contains the bits for the most commonly used screws. The Wiha 77791 and 77792 are our next best sellers and they feature the common slotted and Phillips heads but also contain Torx and Hex bits respectively. The Wiha 77796 focuses more on security bits, the Wiha 77795 comes with bonus bits and lastly, the Wiha 77793 is the same as the Wiha 77790 but comes with a set of sockets and an adaptor. Throwing one or two of these drivers into a tool gift basket is a great way to get a tool made for multiple jobs at a decent price.

Another tool to add into a gift basket would be pliers and wrenches. The Wiha 30490 combination wrench is a set of seven metric wrenches, the Imperial or “inch” version would be Wiha 30493. Both sets are at the same price point and a good buy if you want a set of tools to give as a gift. For a little bit more, this Gedore set is an excellent tool as well with solid construction and a great reputation. There are also two different 3-packs made by Knipex that will give your basket some variety. The first, Knipex 00 20 06 US1 is a 3-pack of different sized Cobra pliers. Knipex is a brand well-known for their pliers and Cobra pliers has some interesting advantages over other brands. The other 3-pack is a little bit cooler showcasing some more variety. Knipex 00 20 08 US2 features a set of Cobra pliers, a long nose pliers and a diagonal cutter. Any of these makes a job easier and will ensure that quality is part of it.  

If you want to go ahead with the faux-flower themed tool bouquet, an easy way to do this is with a set of screwdrivers. They can be easily arranged in the upright position making flower-theming easy. The first screwdriver set is a really unique one made by Hazet. The Hazet 810/6-PD Porsche Motorsport 6 piece set is not only well made, they have a unique color scheme and are officially licensed with Porsche. If your guy doesn’t need the Porsche style ones, you can go with Hazet’s normal 810/6 Screwdriver slotted and Phillips set. A comparable set made by Wiha is the 30892 5-piece set or the 7 piece set Wiha 30287 which includes a set of high quality linesman pliers. Any of these screwdriver sets can make a good gift on their own or combined with any of the other toolsets.

For less than $100 you can get one or more of these tools/tool sets and throw them together into a nice gift basket for the man in your life. He deserves the best tools and here you can get really good tools for an affordable price and throw them together into a nice gift.
