Without a doubt, construction workers carry a lot of things in their cars. They bring everything from tools to water bottles, calculators, protective gear, laptops, and notepads.

10. For the construction worker who wants to be a pilot or likes aviation.
If the construction worker on your holiday gift list is interested in becoming a pilot or enjoys flying as a hobby, this next gift will take them to new levels. The FAA requires the registration of certain drones. In particular, this depends on the drone’s net weight. To ensure compliance, always check with the official FAA website to familiarize yourself with current guidelines. When this post was published, the current regulation indicates that all drones must be registered, except those weighing less than 0.55 pounds (less than 250 grams).
The DJI Mini may be small, yet it packs a ton of features. It weighs less than 249 grams. For this reason, registration is not mandatory. This drone can run for up to 31 minutes. It has level 5 wind resistance. Additionally, it boasts an ultraclear 4k video. Various modes such as Intelligent Modes and QuickShots make it easy to capture memories.

Alternatively, if the DJI Mini 2 is too small, another option is the DJI Mavic Air 2. This drone boasts a 34-minute max flight time. It weighs 570 grams and therefore requires registration. It has the capability of flying 5000m above sea level. Max ascent speed reaches 4m/s. Likewise, max descent is between 3-5 m/s depending on the mode. Additionally, it can withstand winds up to 8.5-10.5 m/s.

13. For the construction worker who constantly works in their front seat.
Construction workers are always on the go. As a result, they do a lot of work from the front seat of their car.

Although it is lightweight, it is strong enough to hold laptops, lunches, and more. Therefore, construction workers can create an instant ergonomic desk in seconds. Furthermore, this desk is compact.

15. For the construction worker that is an outdoors person.
Some people are very outdoorsy and already planning their next adventure.

16. For the construction worker whose hands need some extra attention.
Construction can be rough on the hands. Several factors such as wearing gloves, frequent hand washing, contact with chemicals, and weather conditions contribute. As a result, construction workers may have irritated, dry, cracked skin. O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Hand Cream will soothe, relieve dryness, and deliver healing within days. Moreover, this concentrated lotion creates a barrier to lock in moisture. Because of this, it leaves skin feeling refreshed and brand new.

17. For the construction worker waiting in line with 20 people to use the microwave.
Lunchtime can be a tricky situation for construction workers. Unfortunately, not all job sites have microwaves. On the other hand, if there is a microwave available, there’s probably also 20 people in line to use it. Since construction workers do not have the luxury of having hot lunches, this next gift is a gamechanger. A portable personal mini-oven will allow construction workers to enjoy a hot meal for once. They can break up the monotony of having cold sandwiches every day and enjoy some hot soup or a homecooked meal.

19. For the construction worker who builds outside work.
Construction workers are in the business of building things. However, for some, it isn’t just a job. It is a passion. A 3D laser printer encourages creatives to turn their visions into reality. Additionally, it transforms ideas and designs into works of art. Glowforge offers three models of 3D laser printers with a wide range of features. Moreover, these printers are capable of producing things beyond our imagination.

20. For the construction worker who brings work (dirt) home.
They say that you should not bring work home but instead keep work and home separate. When it comes to dirt, mud, and grime, we agree with this statement. Due to construction work often being in outdoor environments, it involves mud, dirt, and other things. As a result, unwelcomed materials can get tracked inside unintentionally. Unquestionably, every construction worker can use a boot mat. Besides being functional, it is also practical for everyday use. Not only will it save their floors, but it will also keep their home clean by containing work stuff in a designated area.

21. For the coffee-loving construction worker.
Most people start their day with a cup of coffee. Construction workers are no exception. Due to unpredictable job site conditions, construction workers need a heavy-duty coffee maker that can tough it out. Unlike regular coffee makers, the OXX COFFEEBOXX is for rugged environments. In particular, it can power through the harshest elements. More importantly, it features a crushproof chassis that can withstand up to 1,500 lbs.

Safety logs, building plans, and worksite notes can be difficult to write under harsh job site conditions. Regular paper and pen just can’t cut it in the field.
