Top 5 Crafts & DIY Gifts
1) Rooftop Ladder Stabilizer & Standoff
Feel steadier when you’re at work with a ladder stabilizer. It fits onto the front of a gutter to give a ladder a stable spot to rest against. A rubber underside and surface provides increased grip and raised edges help prevent sideways movement. Made in the USA.
2) Homemade Sauce & Mayonnaise Maker
Making homemade mayonnaise couldn’t be easier with the Kilner® Mayonnaise and Sauce Jar set. It only takes about three to four minutes to make fresh mayonnaise that's ready to serve. You can also make aioli, salad dressing, and other sauces using this handy kitchen gadget. The set also includes a two-piece sealing lid to store your homemade creations.
3) Home Pickling Kit
DIY pickles are easy (and oh-so tasty) with the jarred pickling kit from Curio Spice Co. A Moroccan blend and Madagascar blend and recipes are included to pickle veggies with globally-inspired flavors. The spices are directly sourced from farms and growers to ensure freshness and purity. Includes enough spices to make four jars-worth, and recipes to get you started.
4) Tie Down Straps - Set of Two
Tackle many jobs—from the simple to the tough—with a heavy duty tie down strap built to handle up to 110 pounds of wrapping and securing. There are different lengths to suit your task, and the quick-grab end lets you connect multiple straps. Industrial-grade webbing is durable and flexible (and made in part from recycled plastic bottles) and hook and loop fasteners let you tie down and secure your stuff in one easy step.
