Gift Ideas For Plumbers

Christmas, retirement, birthday, Father’s Day – you name it, these are the best gift ideas for plumbers you will find on the internet.

It can be hard to find gift ideas for plumbers.  Everything depends on their personality and the occasion.  The good news is you have plenty of options, from funny gag gifts to tools they can use forever, you can surely find something below for your loved plumber.

This post is pretty atypical for PVCGuy.com but I have been getting too many requests regarding gifts.  It will be easier to compile this post and link everyone to it that asks.  All links are to Amazon.com for the sake of simplicity.  You may be able to find some of these locally if you are one of those last minute shoppers.  Please leave any other gift ideas for plumbers you would like to see added in the comments.

Keep in mind, tools of the trade don’t make great gifts, however tools that can be used at home and work are the tool-gifts you want to consider.

1. A customized trophy for celebrating achievements in plumbing.  What more could a retiring plumber want or need?

2.  Leathermans are “buy it for life” gifts.  These multi-tools are like Rolex watches, they can be passed down from generation to generation.  They make great gifts for plumbers still hard at work.  Once it comes in, get it engraved for that personal touch.

3.  This ORCATORCH flashlight is used by emergency responders around the world.  These are about as reliable as it gets and will be a welcomed gift into any toolbox.

4. It’s A Squirrel! Toilet Seat Tattoo Decal makes for a great birthday present or Father’s Day present for the plumbers with a sense of humor.  There are several other designs that wouldn’t frighten as many guests.

5. Aim Like a Jedi not a Stormtrooper BLACK custom vinyl decal sticker – really, this isn’t much more than a stocking stuffer for Christmas or a small gift for the Star Wars fan plumber in your life.  For those that have watched the movies will “get it.”

6. Husky Quad Drive SAE Ratcheting Wrench Set is one of the more expensive items on this list but it’s also the best tool set you could buy a plumber.  These ratcheting wrench sets will make quick work for a lot of mundane plumbing tasks.  Make sure to opt for SAE sizing if you are in the USA or if you are 100% confident your plumber would prefer metric.

7.  Silver plated faucet cufflinks would be one of the classier gifts for your special plumber and would be the perfect option for someone looking for a true retirement gift.  And here it is, the only gift that is not a tool or funny (well kinda).  What the heck does that say about plumbers??

8.  The Milk Chocolate Plumbers Tool Gift Set is by far the most delicious gift option on this list.

9. BigMouth Inc Toilet and Urinal Novelty Salt and Pepper Shaker Set – what plumber doesn’t want a salt and pepper shaker toilet and urinal?  ‘Nuff said.

Number 10 would have to be a good hardcover plumbing book.  I am not satisfied with the books I have come up with for plumbing so I will leave it to your discretion.  If you have any ideas, please let me know in the comments!
