Quick answer
Makers want quality supplies and new project ideas.
Crafters, woodworkers, makers — a generic DIY kit is hit or miss. Quality tools, specialty materials, a workshop, or a project subscription box matched to their craft.
Upgrade their tool
Better glue gun, precision knife set — daily use.
Material voucher
Hornbach, craft store — they pick the project.
Workshop
Pottery, woodworking, sewing class — skill as a gift.
Know their craft
Sewing vs woodworking vs electronics — totally different.
Conclusion: how to put it into practice
DIY gifts: tool upgrade, material gift card, workshop. Match the craft — no generic kit.
