Tool Kit Gift

It is probably not a good idea to start off a post by apologizing, but what can I say?  I follow my own rules.  So I'm going to apologize for the poor picture of this gift basket.  This was a gift I put together for my husband's birthday two years ago, long before I ever thought of putting together this blog.  As a result the only picture we have of it is one Sam snapped on his phone before taking the gift all apart.  But you can get the general idea.  I found this little wooden tool box at a local thrift store for $0.50.  It was a steal! 


But if you can't find your own  tool box there are plenty of other options.

Like this canvas tool pouch from Home Depot.  Under $5.00

Or this red tool box from Wal-Mart would be really fun!  Under $7.00.

Once you decide what kind of tool container you want, you can then fill it up with all the "tools."   For this you will need:

  • A game.  I used a scrabble slam card game. (pliers)
  • Gift card to favorite movie theater. (saw)
  • Favorite Candy (nails)
  • Gift card to favorite restaurant. (hammer)
  • One more gift of your choice.  I used a nice silk tie.  (tape measure)

Cheesy, yes.  Full of puns, yes.  Awesome....YES.
