Garage Warming Gift

[bmcdowell40]

So my brother is in the process of building a 30 x 48 garage, 3 bays to keep his truck, his wife's car, 4 wheeler, Harley, etc. in. It should be done by Christmas. With that in mind and with Christmas coming up, I'd like to get him something for Christmas for in his garage. He already has a bunch of tools, a tool box and a compressor so I was thinking of putting together a box full of garage/shop necessities.

So far what I'm coming up with to put in this is: shop towels, shop rags, 12 bin organizer for screws/nuts/bolts, WD40, PB blaster, loctite, anti-sieze.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm pretty fond of these signs that Ryan posted for a garage warming gift.

Garage clock?

My suggestion - tunes... You can spend as much as you like, from boom-box to satellite radio. He will use it all the time and appreciate it!

Like Adrien

I would get a custom sign done. I think they are great and I sent a link to some people hinting for my shop

I know for me a gift card to a store would be great as I could buy what I wanted.
Lowes, Home Depot, Sears, etc. Not Bed, Bath & Beyond or JC Penny, okay?

No shop is complete without at least some Neon light of some kind.

by far my fav thing that i have in my garage is my ipod dock. if i will be out there for more than 5 min its playing. i went through 4 different docks before finding one that i kept for more than a day. its the kicker ik501. its great as a stand alone dock but if youre like me you need a little more bass. it has rca outputs along with aux in for any mp3 player. i currently have a klipshe 12" home theater sub hooked up to it.

If I'm in the shop my radio is alwasy on. Might be turned down at times but it's never off.

i'm thinking more on the line of strippers


but a personalized sign might be nice too.

all depends on how "nice" the garage is i guess

Take this design down to the sign shop and have them do one up with HIS name on it. It'll run about $200 for a 2x3 footer and he'll love it FOREVER!
