5 Christmas gift ideas for easy home improvement

Out of Christmas gift ideas this holiday season? ‘Tis time to think outside the box, and make someone’s home remodeling wish come true! To make it easy for you, the HomeSavvi team has compiled five creative home improvement Christmas gift ideas that go beyond a simple piece of art for the wall or a typical power tool set, and the best thing is, you don’t even have to lift a finger!

1. Color consultation package
Contact a local interior designer and purchase a gift certificate for a home color consultation, together with one gallon of the recipient’s favorite paint color (if you happen to know it), or a selection of small paint samples they can choose from. Complement this with a contract with a painter to get the work done. A great gift idea bound to please anyone looking for a spring decorating spree!

2. Space planning consultation
Did the gift recipient always want to bring Feng Shui into their home? Then now is the time for space planning! Select a two-hour space planning consultation package with a local interior designer to help your friend or family member rearrange their furniture in their living room or bedrooms or study. For those working from home full time, a consultation with an organizing company to help organize a home office also makes a great gift.




3. Block of handyman time

Never-ending list of random house projects driving them crazy? Call a local handyman and reserve four to five hours of their time to come out to the gift recipient’s home, and finally get all those projects done once and for all. This is a particularly useful gift for people living alone, families with kids, or professionals leading busy lives due to business travel.

4. Tile package
Do you think your friend or family member’s kitchen or bathroom needs an update? All you need to do is to get a selection of tile samples from a local tile store that you know will match the gift recipient’s current home décor, and combine it with a gift card from a local contractor for the installation of a new kitchen or bathroom backsplash. It won’t take long, and will make all the difference. You could do the same for cabinet refacing.



5. Closet company consultation

You know what they say: The more space, the more clutter. Offering a gift certificate for a consultation with a local closet company will help the recipient see what can be done to organize their closet space. From reorganizing and modifying current storage space to creating new, alternative options, this could be the gift answer for busy families.

If all else fails, gift cards from home remodeling stores such as Lowes and Home Depot, or colorful home retail outlets such as Pier 1 Imports and Crate & Barrel will always be appreciated.
