In the aftermath of a sumptuous Thanksgiving feast, Black Friday will come and go as quickly as a left-over turkey sandwich. Now it's time to get down to some serious shopping for Christmas Gifts. Are you ready to face the long lines and the hassle of rummaging through the left-overs at the discount department stores? Surely, there has to be a better way to find the perfect Christmas gift for the DIY Home Repair enthusiast in your household. Is it possible that on-line shopping is just what the proverbial cat meowed this year?

Let's take a look at this year's Top 10 sellers from one online retailer, Amazon.com and see how the best of the best stack up against your local Big Letter mass merchandiser and low price discounter stack up. The items that follow have been carefully researched with the goal of finding the best overall Christmas gifts for the DIY Home Repair, so naturally many items that rank as bestsellers have been left off.

Here's the Top Ten Christmas Gifts for DIY Home Repair Enthusiasts:

1. La Crosse Technology BC-9009 AlphaPower Battery Charger by La Crosse Technology.

2. Toro 51599 Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum by Toro.

3. AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener by Accu Sharp.

4. Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse by Rockwell.

5. Black & Decker TLD100 Thermal Leak Detector by Black & Decker.

10. KINTREX IRT0421 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer with Laser Targeting by Kintrex.

Now that you have perused this list carefully, you can bookmark it and come back to it later for future reference. There are many other items that could have made the list, but were unlikely something that a Do-it-yourself home repair person would be excited to receive as a gift on Christmas morning. After all, Christmas is about making dreams come true, isn't it?

However you choose to play Santa this year, keep in mind that on-line shopping has become the best way to find Christmas gifts of the highest quality without the hassle of department store shopping. So, when it comes to buying Christmas Gifts in 2009 for the DIY Home Repair enthusiast in your household, why not shop here first?
