It’s time to find the perfect gift for dads and grandpas, and nothing touches their hearts faster than the right piece of outdoor power equipment! We sat down with one of the sales experts at Ty’s Outdoor Power, Cameron Belt, to get his top recommendations for holiday gifts.
Who Should I Give Outdoor Power Equipment to?
As the holidays approach, we see a lot of families coming in to find that perfect gift. Cameron Belt from our sales team notes, “I’d say a lot of time it’s probably either kids shopping for a dad or maybe sometimes it’s a parent shopping for a kid that might have got a house this year or something and they need some equipment.
“Outdoor power equipment can be a great gift for anyone who loves spending time outdoors and taking care of their yard. No matter who you’re shopping for, our team is here to help you find the right tool for the job. We’ll ask the right questions…to be able to make sure we get them into the right equipment.”
Great Starter Gifts for New Homeowners
For friends and family with a run-of-the-mill suburban home or someone just starting a lawn care hobby, it’s best to give effective tools as gifts. Cameron recommends battery-powered equipment, which is user-friendly and great for smaller yards.
“I think some of the new battery handheld equipment works good for starting out,” Cameron explains. “I actually just met with a gentleman today. His son just got his first house, and helping him get into a battery-operated blower and trimmer is some good entry-level, easy-to-use equipment.”
Here are some top gift ideas for new homeowners:
- Battery-Powered Trimmer: A lightweight and hassle-free tool for keeping edges neat.
- Battery-Operated Blower: Perfect for clearing leaves and debris from patios and walkways.
- Stihl GTA 26 Handheld Pruning Saw: This “little handheld pruning chainsaw” is “super popular this time of year” for quick and easy trimming jobs.
- Handheld Stihl Vacuum: A surprisingly useful tool for quick clean-ups in the garage or workshop.
- Shredder Vacs & Gutter Kits: For fall cleanup, these tools “make the leaf clean up a lot easier.” You can even get attachments that “reach up and help clear out the gutters.”
Powerful Presents for Acreage & Farm Owners
If you’re shopping for someone with a larger property, like an acreage or farm, they’ll require more heavy-duty equipment to handle bigger jobs—especially if they need to handle winter snow removal.
- Two-Stage Snowblowers: “I would say a lot of the time for farming acreage guys, sometimes it’s bigger two-stage snowblowers,” Cameron notes.
- Snow Blades: Many Ty’s Outdoor Power customers with UTVs or ATVs come in looking to “put a snow blade on, so those are definitely good ideas.”
- Grasshopper Mower With Cab Attachment: This is the ultimate gift. As our team points out, “when I’m thinking about farms out in the open… being able to add a cab to that machine to keep you warmer for the long periods out there is something that’s neat.”
Gifts You Might Not Expect
People are often surprised by the range of DeWalt gear we stock.

Whether someone wants a fast charger or heavy-duty cordless tools, DeWalt’s lineup covers practical, well-built gifts that get used all year long.
Ty’s Makes Your Holiday Shopping Easy
Don’t worry if you’re not sure what equipment your dad already has. “We keep records of everything that we sell to customers,” says Cameron. If your family member has shopped at Ty’s before, “we can look to see what kind of products they’ve purchased and then offer different accessories or things to add to their already equipment they own.”
We also have seasonal promotions to make your holiday shopping even better. Stihl has “quite a few sales going on on some of the battery products… specifically kind of highlighting that fall cleanup kind of phase.” For our commercial customers, we always have “special pricing on plow installs.”
