Gifts For the Home

December 14, 2007

For several years I had been wanting rain gutters for our house. (That was back when we had a really rainy season.) The rain would pour off the valley of the roof just outside our bedroom window and sound like a deluge. What a wonderful surprise when my husband gave be rain gutters for Christmas!

Are there projects or improvements you wish you could do for your home?

Maybe instead of perfume and jewelry or shirts and ties, you could give a gift to your living environment.

Here are some thoughts.

New awnings or a patio cover.

A new appliance for the kitchen.

A new wall hung TV.

A surround sound system.

New windows.

And once you do the gift card to announce these gifts, you could visit State Street in Redlands and enjoy the Christmas entertainment at Ed Hales Park.

And here are some useful tools that would make great gifts.

A Gecko Level (Black & Decker, $24.99) 24 inch aluminum box level has "Gecko Grip" friction pads that really help keep the level from slipping. As someone who hangs a lot of paintings on my walls, I would love this tool!

Then there is a Rota-Driver (also from Black & Decker, $29.99) This is a compact screwdriver that has a head that rotates into 4 different positions to reach the tightest most confined spaces. It has a built-in work light, and accepts any 1/4 inch hex drive tips; comes with a plug in charger and 2 tips.
It is fun to be creative with your gift giving!
