(ARA) - The holidays are almost upon us, and if you’re like most people, you’re probably not looking forward to the task of finding “the perfect” gift for everyone on your list.
While kids are easy to shop for, picking out presents for adult friends and family members can be difficult. You want your gift to be memorable and appreciated, not something the recipient will put on a shelf somewhere and forget about the next day. So what’s the secret to getting it right? Do as a professional shopper would do - go beyond the obvious.
Rather than just getting something that you think would be suitable for a mother or father, grandmother or grandfather, friend or neighbor, think about the individual person's likes, hobbies and interests and get them something they’ll know was meant just for them.
If your dad or neighbor loves to barbecue, give him some grilling goodies. Among the items sure to please: a variety of BBQ sauces and spices that will suit all his guests’ tastes, a new fork and spatula for flipping food, and the must-have grilling product of the year - a gadget that could one day save him from the embarrassment of running out of gas during a cookout.
The Gas Watch gauge, which retails for under $20, provides complete peace of mind to gas grill users. In addition to its low level gas indicator which makes sure you never run out of gas while cooking again, it also has an emergency shut off feature which stops the propane flow immediately in case of major leaks like hose burn, cut or fire.
The device, which is made of forged brass, easily connects between tank and regulator without the need of any tools, and can be used as an indicator for gas grills and appliances – pretty much anything that uses propane for power. The Gas Watch gague is available in some stores, but if you’re not sure where to find one, log on to www.gaswatch.com or send an email to info@tvlintl.com for more information or to make a purchase.
For the person who enjoys gardening, you can put together a gift basket that will help the recipient pass the time until spring arrives. Line it with moss which you can find at your local craft store, then fill it with gardening magazines, seeds and bulbs, a couple of new pairs of gloves, and some hand tools, which are easy to find at your local home improvement store.
The recipient may have to wait until spring to make use of a gardening gift, but grilling is something they can do right away. If you’re lucky, they’ll even invite you to the cookout. Courtesy of ARA Content
