Along with new tools, quality work clothing is a fantastic gift idea for those on your shopping list who work in the trades or in the outdoors. A splurge on comfort and durability will remind them how much you care as they give it their all in the toughest working conditions. I worked in the field for more than 2 decades before setting up shop behind a keyboard, and these are some of the gifts I would have loved to find waiting under the tree.
