Don’t be caught unaware as the holidays
kick off – be ready for anything with a
well-stocked house – from your toolkit
to appliances and furniture that help
you cater to a crowd.

As everyone heads into the silly season, know this: appliances, pipes and other high-use items always tend to break when the house is full of people – not to mention cooking and cleaning appliances! Here is a handy checklist of items you might want to consider stocking up on to make the holidays run smoothly.

Multi-functional toolkits
A comprehensive toolkit with essentials like screwdrivers, pliers, hammers, and utility knives is perfect for a range of DIY projects. Make sure your kit is complete by going through it and replacing any broken or missing items. Cash Converters stock a range of great quality tools that can complete a set.

Cordless drill and driver set
If you’re considering an upgrade to your toolkit before the holiday starts and you don’t have a cordless drill, start with this! A versatile cordless drill with a set of drill bits is an invaluable tool for home improvers. Choose a lightweight model with a long battery life for added convenience. Research your favourite model and make sure you choose the best – this is one of those tools that is worth an investment, as you’ll use it for a very wide range of tasks and projects.

Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Safety goggles, gloves, ear protection, hard hats, steel-tipped shoes and dust masks are essential for DIY projects. It’s often the overlooked part of a home toolkit, but really the most important part – nobody wants to rush to the emergency room during the summer holidays!

Dishwasher
The one appliance that has probably saved the most marriages! Let’s be serious: no one wants to stand behind the basin washing dishes when they could be spending time with family. Make family dinners easier, quicker and hassle-free with this convenient solution.

Tool storage solutions
A sturdy tool bag, organiser box, or pegboard system for workshops helps keep tools tidy and accessible. Pay a visit to your nearest Cash Converters to see what you can find. Keeping your tools together is a great way to make working more fun – no more looking for screws and screwdrivers or searching for a tool – everything is kept in one secure place. Choose options with adjustable compartments for customisation, and something that gives you an overview of what you have with one quick glance. This will enable you to notice quickly if something is missing or wasn’t returned to its spot.

Air-fryer
If you don’t have one, or you have a small one, perhaps it’s now the time to increase your capacity. Using an air-fryer instead of the oven saves time, electricity and oil, but sometimes it’s also just a handy tool to prepare quick snacks or sides with an elaborate dinner. Think chicken nuggets, chips, crispy roast vegetables and more.  You can even put an entire chicken in it! Visit your nearest Cash Converters to see the models available – the options are endless!

Dryer
If the family is on the way to your house, maybe now is the time to invest in that tumble dryer! There are so many options of models available, and nowadays they come with eco-friendly options and lower electricity use. There’s nothing better than being able to load your washing in a dryer when it’s pouring summer rain outside and there is a line of kids’ and teen clothing that needs to be washed.

Cash Converters offer all these tools and appliances and more. Pay a visit to your nearest store as you get ready for the summer holidays full of family, DIY, and be ready for anything. At Cash Converters, we help you Make Life Happen.
