Buying for someone who works with their hands? Tradespeople go through blades and tools fast, so a good set is a present they'll actually use on Monday morning.

For the tiler

The Tiler's Diamond Disc Kit (£23.27) covers almost every cut: a 106mm wet saw blade, 115mm disc, 125mm thin disc for chip-free porcelain, and a 125mm cup wheel for grinding. It's 5% cheaper than buying the pieces separately.

For the plasterer or decorator

The Plastering Finishing Set (£22.78) pairs a 25cm skimming spatula with internal and external corner knives. For big walls and ceilings, add the 100cm smoothing spatula (£26.42).

For long days on site

• Wireless earbuds with power bank case (£10.67): music on the drive, and the case tops up a flat phone.
• Solar motion sensor light (£5.37): handy for a dark garage, shed or yard. No wiring needed.

Not sure what size they need?

Check the size printed on their angle grinder's guard: a 4.5" grinder takes 115mm discs and a 5" grinder takes 125mm. Our diamond blade guide explains the rest.
