FAQs:
- Isn't hardware kind of boring as a gift?
Not at all! While it might not have the initial "wow factor" of some gifts, hardware is used daily and appreciated constantly. Think about it - every time someone uses a beautiful new cabinet pull, opens a smooth-operating door, or enjoys their upgraded shower, they'll think of you.
2. How do I know what finish to choose?
Pay attention to what they already have. If their kitchen has stainless appliances and chrome fixtures, choose chrome or brushed nickel. If they have oil-rubbed bronze lighting, that's your finish choice.
3. What if they need a different size or style?
DK Hardware's 30-day return policy makes exchanges easy. Include your gift receipt, and they can swap for precisely what they need.
4. Can I give hardware to someone who isn't particularly handy?
Absolutely! Many items like cabinet knobs, door handles, and shower heads are easy DIY projects. You can also offer to help with installation or pair your gift with professional installation services.
5. Should I wrap hardware gifts?
That's up to you! Some gift-givers create themed baskets or toolboxes with tissue paper and bows. Others present hardware alongside photos showing how it'll look installed. Gift cards are also popular for letting recipients choose their own hardware.
Gift Shopping Tips from DK Hardware
If you’re shopping for someone who’s constantly tinkering with their home, you know that the proper hardware can make all the difference. Here are some helpful tips for you to find the perfect fit.
- Consider their current project: Pay attention to conversations about home improvements they're planning. Even small components can make thoughtful, useful gifts.
- Match their style: Notice the finishes and styles they already have - do they prefer modern chrome, matte finishes, classic brass, or rustic bronze? Matching their existing aesthetic shows your attention to detail.
- Think long-term value: Quality hardware isn't a gift that gets used once and then forgotten or lost in a pile; instead, it's the upgrades that people interact with daily for years, making them incredibly meaningful.
- Bundle related items: Create a project kit by combining related products - pair cabinet knobs with hinges, bathroom accessories with a new shower head, or door hardware with matching locks.
- Include installation help: If your recipient isn't particularly handy, consider pairing hardware gifts with professional installation service or offering to help install it yourself.
