Christmas Gift Ideas for Welders: A Helpful Guide for Partners, Friends & Family

Buying Christmas gifts for welders can feel impossible, especially if you’re not a welder yourself. They usually know exactly what they like, they’re picky about tools and when you do ask what they want, you probably get something along the lines of “I don’t know… I don’t need anything.”, so we’ve decided to help you out.

The truth is, welders always need something - whether it's PPE they use daily, tools that help them work safer and faster, or gear they've been meaning to replace for months.

To make Christmas shopping easy, we've put together a simple, friendly guide to help you pick something they'll genuinely appreciate (and actually use). Everything below is available in our dedicated Christmas category.

We've grouped ideas by budget and included popular picks for 2025.

Welder Gifts Under £250 - Impressive, Practical & Welder-Approved.

If you want something that feels substantial without going overboard on price, these two options are incredible value and extremely useful for hobbyists and professionals.

Oxyturbo Turbo Set 200 Portable Welding & Brazing Kit

Perfect for: DIY welders, auto enthusiasts, maintenance work, home workshops.

This portable kit gives welders the ability to braze, solder and complete small welding repairs without needing big workshop equipment. Whether they’re fixing brackets, repairing metalwork around the home, or working on a project car, the Turbo Set 200 is one of those “once they have it, they'll use it constantly” gifts.

Parweld XTS 163 MMA Inverter Package

Perfect for: Anyone who welds at home or on the go.

Lightweight, reliable and easy to use - even for beginners. This Parweld inverter is a fantastic all-round welder that’s suited to gates, brackets, trailers, fences and general repairs. Welders love compact MMA machines because they’re easy to grab, set up and get working immediately. If you want this kit to be ready to use straight from the box, you’ll need to grab some electrodes too – the Oerlikon Overcord E are the most popular. You’ll need 2.5mm if they’re welding thin material such as car body parts (2mm thick) but if they’re working with thicker sheet metal or more heavy duty car components (3mm thick), you’ll need to get the 3.2mm.

The flip-up front means welders can easily switch between grinding and welding without constantly removing the helmet - a huge time-saver and comfort boost. If you’ve ever wondered why their helmet looks battered… it’s because welders use them every single day. A new one is always a welcome gift!

Gifts Welders ALWAYS Need: Clamps

If there’s one universal truth: a welder can never have too many clamps.

They’re used in nearly every job and constantly go missing, get borrowed, get damaged or get “stored somewhere safe.” Trust us - they will never complain about receiving more clamps.

Recommended options:

• Bessey GSH20 Classix Lever Clamp 200mm x 100mm - £44.40 (inc VAT)
• SIP Welding Clamp Set - £23.99 (inc VAT)

Whether they’re holding steel in place or preparing pieces before welding, clamps are a workshop essential.

Why These Gifts Matter: A Welder’s Perspective

Even if welding is just a hobby, it requires:

• Safety equipment
• Tools that wear out
• Consumables that need replacing
• Gear that makes jobs faster and easier

To you, these items might look simple, to a welder, they’re everyday essentials that make a genuine difference:

• A new helmet gives them better visibility and comfort.
• A welding jacket keeps them safe from sparks.
• A clamp set speeds up every job.
• A small tool like a magnetic holder makes life easier in the workshop.
• A portable welding/brazing kit opens up new possibilities for repairs and projects.

You're not just buying 'stuff' - you're giving them the tools to enjoy their craft, stay safe, and tackle new projects.
