Christmas Gifts For Electricians

Christmas is approaching, and we all know how stressful present buying can be, especially when buying gifts for a sparky. Listed below are some Christmas gift ideas for electricians. We hope you find these useful.

List of ideas Christmas gift ideas for electricians

1.) Rechargeable Head Torch

This may be one of the most practical items on the list as it enables workers to use both hands without being blinded by light shining in their eyes. It is also rechargeable, so no need to carry around replacement batteries. You can find many on Amazon for under £20. Although, if you’re looking for a more durable head torch with extra features, you will likely be spending £40-£50 from places like Screwfix or Toolstation.

2.) Thermal Work Wear

This would be an ideal gift for electricians having to work outside this winter. You can find thermal wear and base layers for work at places like Screwfix or tool station. These are usually priced at £15-20 for both long sleeve tops and trousers.  The thermal top displayed can be found at Screwfix and is priced at £8.99.

3.) Insulated Travel Mug/flask

This is a great gift for electrical workers that are constantly on the move. You can find many online, with Amazon selling many for around £10 – £20 per mug, depending on the quality. You can even get a mug personalised to ensure the sparky you are gifting for is smiling when drinking their coffee in the morning. The travel mug flask displayed can be found at Toolstation and also comes with a holder which can be attached to a work belt. This is priced at £24.48.

4.) Bluetooth Digital job-sight speaker

When working on-sight, it’s always nice to have a bit of music or even the radio playing in the background to help keep motivation and spirits high. These speakers are designed for sight work due to their durability and long-lasting battery life. They can be found at places like Screwfix or Toolstation for £100-£150. We recommend going for a reliable brand such as DeWalt or Makita, as these tend to be on the durable side. The one displayed is from Screwfix, impact-resistant has dual-speakers and is priced at £119.99.

5.) Electricians Pouch

We consider this pouch to be a very handy gift idea for the sparkys that like to keep well organised when working. Some of the features of this pouch include a Strap-belt system, Anti-Slip Webbing, 3L Technology, Real Leather, Durable Riveting and Elastic Loops. This useful accessory can be found at TOOLDEN for just under £30.

6.) Safety goggles/glasses

There are many hazards and risks involved when working as an electrician. Although safety goggles are not the most appealing, these don’t look too bad and will definitely protect any electrician from an injury to the eyes. These are going for just under £8 at Safetec Direct.

7.) Magnetic Wristband

Screws and bolts can be an absolute nightmare when working. This magnetic wristband can be considered a life saver as it has powerful magnets that will hold screws and bolts with no issues, saving so much time. The wristband displayed is priced at £7 and can be found at Menkind.
