5 Funny Gifts Every Machinist Will Love
The holiday season is approaching fast. And with less than a month left until Christmas, you should probably start thinking about gift ideas for your family and friends.
While we certainly can’t give you any recommendations on the presents you should give to your family – unless they are chip makers like you – we can help you figure out what to get your coworkers.
We searched across different websites to gather funny, unusual, and cheap gift ideas that any machinist will appreciate and here’s what we found:
Art
Artworks are always an appreciated gift. Especially when they represent the original patent artwork and application submitted by Laroy Starrett to the US Patent & Trademark Office in 1889.
A unique piece to hang on the wall of the machine job or home.
Notebook
A funny yet useful gift. Especially for students or apprentices who are approaching the trade. To complete the package, you can combine it with a one of our favorite machining books.
License Plate Frame
If you are looking for a present for your machinist old man, this is definitely the one.
Stickers

We all have that friend who likes to argue and will always have the last word. Even more if that friend is a machinist. Well, here’s the perfect present for that person.
T-Shirt
The most classic of the classics. And one of the most versatile too. There is certainly no shortage of machinist t-shirts out there. Looking for a gift for a fellow Practical Machinist? Check out our store.
