For the Home Tips

Cooling Comfort for Your Home

Fans can make fabulous multi-purpose gifts for friends and family. The Natural Breeze Fan with Negative-Ion Feature is one model that “stands out” above the rest. This portable fan is remote controlled and it automatically cools the room to your target temperature, while adding negatively charged fresh ions to the room so you can breathe easier. Homes tend to be well insulated and trap unwanted odors and lots of unpurities. Making the air cleaner for your family is a wonderful gift option.

The Vornado 60th Anniversary Replica Vornadofan Air Circulator is another fan with an exquisite design that allows it to effectively circulate the air evenly throughout the room. It creates a penetrating beam of air that travels farther than the breeze of most fans and the air blows in a continuous cycle that circulates the entire room. This fan would be perfect for a dorm room or sun room to circulate the air and help conserve energy.

Mark Their Address

If you know your gift recipients really well, you can get them something like an address marker as a housewarming gift. This can be a tricky gift though, since it is subject to taste and preference which is why you really need to know who you are buying for and just what they would like.

It may be a good plan not to get it personalized right away either - grab the address marker, for instance, and get an extra gift certificate for personalization down the line.

This way you can say, "Hey, I wanted to help you make the outside of yourself and warm and welcoming as the interior, but I wasn't sure this was perfect, so if it isn't, return it, and if it is, you have the gift certificate to get it personalized!" You are then being a thoughtful and flexible friend!

• Is he always fixing, improving or adding something to your house?

Support his home improvement mania and get him a cool gadget or two to make his projects go smoother and faster.

Combine something like this cool gadget with a gift card to your local hardware store and a book geared towards his next home improvement project and one more thing - the big one - you're HELP - and you have a real unique gift for dad.
