Holiday Wrap-Up
Well, this is it - we’re officially in the midst of the holiday season! Another plentiful Thanksgiving feast is in the books and next up: holiday decorating, shopping, parties, exchanging gifts, and most importantly, continuing to spend time with all of the wonderful people in our lives. Likely more of what we’ve already been doing in the past few weeks is in store, and it will continue on through January too. Brace yourselves, because right about now there’s no end to the merriment in sight!
The “Need-It-Nows”: Last-Minute Gift Shopping While a lot of us have planned accordingly, already beating the rush to find most of our gifts, even the most savvy holiday shoppers still likely have a few people yet to check off this year’s list. We can all relate to the struggle of finding the perfect holiday gift, and you don’t have to settle for any less than that just yet. Or how about those of us out there who just plan to wing it? If you can relate more to that approach at this point, no problem there either. For the hobbyist in your life among other “types” who enjoy woodworking, it’s best to go right to the source for your holiday gift shopping – Midwest Woodworkers! “If you have a woodworker on your list, we’re your one-stop gift shop with thousands of items in stock,” says Gerry Phelan, owner of Midwest Woodworkers. “We realize that it can be hard to buy a gift for a woodworker but we’ll be happy to help. As woodworkers ourselves we can offer gift suggestions and answer your questions. Tell us a little about what your favorite woodworker makes and we’ll go to work for you. We’ve had gift buyers who purchase Gerry Phelan equipment for their favorite woodworker, Midwest Woodworkers but more often we look for special items to enhance their workshops. If all else fails, you can always give a gift certificate. We offer gift certificates in any amount that never expire and have no service charges. You can be sure it will make your woodworker very happy. One new item that just came out is the Kreg Mobile Project Center. It would make a great gift for any woodworker, homeowner or craftsperson. It’s a portable work table that folds flat for transport and storage. With its built-in clamping ability and 350lb capacity it can handle any DIY job. It a versatile workspace…to go! Another new product we’re carrying this year is, believe it or not, coloring books. Sure, you can color in them but we have found that they also make great pattern books for carving, wood burning and intarsia, which is an elaborate form of marquetry using inlays in wood. If you have someone on your gift list who needs a creative outlet and enjoys working with their hands, they can become a woodworker! You can give them a woodworking class. There are many disciplines people can pursue; from carving to cabinet making and everything in between. And woodworking isn’t just a guy thing; we are seeing more and more women getting involved. We make sure everyone learns and
