But I’d argue that here at Gardner we have something better a view into the real world of our readers. We cover Metalworking, Plastics, Composites, Mold Making, Automotive, Industrial Cleaning, Precision Machining, and Additive Manufacturing – so who would know better just the right gifts for the amazing, hard-working men and women in our industry?
Once the editorial teams here at Gardner got going, there was no stopping them. The recommendations came flooding in, and this list got HUGE. We know that a pocket loupe is helpful on a shop floor. That an industrial designer will appreciate the craftsmanship of a composite messenger bag. That women machinists are total badasses and deserve to show off their skills. That sophisticated upgrades on shop-floor necessities like safety glasses and steel toe shoes are an everyday luxury.
