This page contains a list of the best DIY products: tools, paints, craft supplies, etc. that I use religiously. I wouldn't recommend these to you if I didn't believe in them and use them myself.
You can click on any of the links to see the product on Amazon. Hopefully you can find them in your area at a local store but if not you can always order them. For me that is often the easiest thing to do.
