1. Consider The Tradies Personality

This is probably the most important thing to consider when buying gifts for tradies or blokes. If they're the serious type, then practical gifts are going to be best. However, if they've got a good sense of humour then you can afford to be a little more creative with your gift-giving. You can go with something that is fun and humorous to match their character.

2. What Are Their Hobbies Or Interests?

Another great way to find gifts for tradies is to consider their hobbies or interests. For example, if they're into cars then you could get them a one of our novelty number plates or something for their workshop. Or, if they're into fishing, we have a huge selection of fishing gifts. 

3. Is There Anything They Need Or Want?

Of course, sometimes the best gifts are the ones that tradies actually need or want. If they've been hinting at a new tool set or pair of work boots, then go ahead and get them what they really want! Chances are they'll be pretty happy with anything you get them as long as it's practical or well suited to their personality and style. Just a quick tip: Put yourself in their shoes for a second; after a hard day’s work when they come home what's something that would appreciate or love to see when they get home?

4. How Much Do You Want To Spend On The Gift?

Finally, you'll need to consider your budget when buying gifts for blokes. At DadShop, we have a great range of affordable gifts that won't break the bank.

Most of the time the relationship you have with the tradie will dictate what kind of gift you can give him. Your closeness will also determine how much you want to spend.
