Buying a present for someone can be one of the trickiest tasks out there. First, you need to find something that perfectly fits your budget. Second, it should be something the recipient will actually want or use. If you're shopping for an engineer, this might make things even tougher.
Fortunately, I've got a few presents in mind In this blog post, here are ten excellent gift ideas for any budget that any engineer would absolutely love.
Mechanical Pencil
I love Mechanical pencils. If you're looking for a great gift for an engineer, a mechanical pencil is always a great and safe option. They're always so precise and perfect for drawing or taking notes. Plus, they never run out of lead like a regular pencil can!
Waterproof Paper
Waterproof paper is another great gift for engineers. Don't let the weather get in the way of note-taking! This paper is perfect for any outdoor activity or rainy day.
IKEA Skadis Board
If you're looking for a gift for an engineer, the IKEA Skadis board is a great option. This board can be used to store and organize tools, parts, or any other supplies an engineer might need. IKEA offer a range of accessories to really maximise space and stay organised. The boards are lightweight, durable and easy to install.
3D Printer
One of the pricier items on the list - 3D printers are essential for engineers to create and print out their designs. As we've seen with the rise of "maker culture" - there's a huge market for these things, and they're now affordable enough that it could be considered a great gift. If you know someone in your life who has been looking into getting one, then this would be the perfect time to gift them one!
