I’m no fan of the frantic consumerism of Black Friday and the holidays in general, but for those wanting to build out their kit of tools for their DIY projects, this is a great time of year to score some awesome deals on tools. If you’ve got a DIYer to shop for, or you are a DIYer, this is a list of my personal favorite tools that I use constantly when I’m working. I sat down and thought through the stuff that I pick up on a near-daily basis, and these are those tools! I also included a separate list of tools that would be stocking-stuffer friendly size-wise. I always feel like adults get the short end of the stick when it comes to stocking gifts, but there are a ton of really great, smaller tools that are incredibly useful!

And since y’all aren’t out here DIYing naked I picked out some of my favorite DIY apparel from both my shop and other DIY bloggers’ merch shops, so you can rep the DIY life while you work!

With the exception of links to other bloggers’ shops, these are all affiliate links meaning any purchases made through these links will give me a little kickback, just FYI :) I hope this guide helps!
