We’re bored of rubbish gifts you get around Christmas time, that are aimed at specific types of people, that come in vast amounts of plastic wrapping, containing tools that won’t last beyond a couple of Christmases. So we’ve made our own gift boxes – the only similarity is that they are also aimed at specific people. There's this one for those who like bit of DIY, making and restoring, and another one for for those who like gardening.  

Yes, they contain a mug. Which some of these other gift boxes can also contain. And this has been slightly controversial in the Tinker and Fix house, because Edd wasn’t keen on ever doing branded items.  But it’s only taken me what, four years, to gently nudge him into agreement. He cannot argue about them because he uses an old enamel mug all the time in the garage.  He likes it so much he put a Tinker and Fix sticker on it. So it’s the same. But actually made by us, rather than made-up by Edd.

So, what’s in the Tinker and Fix DIY Gift box?

• One of our favourite tools – the Elementary No.2 screwdriver. It’s the perfect gift for Christmas as the DIY’er in your life is unlikely to have one and it’s brilliantly useful for working in smaller spaces.  It’s also just a very beautiful tool, which ages with a lovely patina as they years go by and the more you’ve handled it.
• A Tinker and Fix Mug – these can’t be bought separately (Edd won’t allow it, sorry!)
• A Tinker and Fix Keyring – made by Edd, we use ours for the garage and workshop doors, to keep all our tools locked up safe.
