Getting the Handyman in Your Life a Christmas Gift {giveaway CLOSED}

When it comes to gift-giving, I tend to stress out.  It makes me nervous, wondering if I made the right choice.  You see, I don’t have the best track record when it comes to picking out presents.  Kids’ birthdays are the worst — overtime the birthday boy or girl opens our gift, I learn it’s silly, too babyish, too old, or something he/she already had.

Sigh….

But, when it comes to the Husband, I am AWESOME.  Maybe it’s because he drops hints all. year. long.  Maybe it’s because we’ve been married forever and I just know the man — know what he really wants and what will make him smile and cry.

(True story)

This year, he has a few surprises under the tree: a few he’s mentioned wanting (but, of course, doesn’t know he’s getting) and one that completely caught him off guard.

Yes — past tense.  I already gave it to him ’cause I just couldn’t wait.

Lithium Ion Tools from Home Depot

The Husband unwrapped a Ryobi One+ 18v Impact Driver and a Ryobi One+ 18v Lithium-Ion Battery/Charger Kit.

(He was a happy, happy, happy man.)

Lithium Ion technology started in power tools in the home improvement sector and now crosses into categories like outdoor power, paint and flooring. Lithium Ion tools such as the Ryobi ONE+ system feature batteries that are compatible with more than fifty tools and hold a charge up to four times longer than traditional Ni-Cad batteries.

The Home Depot has quite the selection of Lithium Ion tools if you’re looking for the perfect gift for your Handyman (or Handywoman… girls like a power tool too!)

Not sure which tool to get?  No worries — The Home Depot has a litany of gift-card options.  Cards you can buy in store.  Cards you can send online.  Cards through Facebook.  And even cards to make your recipient smile.
