Dad’s Christmas Present Channellock 4-in-1 Ratcheting Wrench Set Giveaway

Channellock 2clr CRHave you figured out what you are getting Dad this year for Christmas? Depending on what kind of dad he is, it might seem like the most impossible task you have to face. What do you get dad? For me the list was always, Do I get him socks, a tie that he won’t ever wear, or how about an office nick nack. Well that won’t get used much because my dad never really had an office that he sat in.

My husband is causing me the same hardship, what do I get him. I’m currently left with gloves to keep his hands warm and pajama pants. But it seems like that’s what I get him every other year. Well, Channellock has a few ideas on what to get dads for Christmas.

You could always choose the classic Channellock. Channellock is a tool, it’s a name brand tool. Being a woman, I never realized that Channellock is another name for pliers in the man’s world. So, when my husband said hand me the Channellock, I looked at him like I have no idea what you are talking about. He said, “Pliers please” Oh ok, I can do that.  So get dad the Channellock VJ-1 Gift Set or you can him something new Channellock makes.

Get dad the 4 in 1 Ratcheting Wrench Set.

Get Rid of the Old and Bring in the New Christmas Lights

I love a good purge, it’s so refreshing to clean up and just be rid of all the junk. I’m going to admit that in the past we’ve been very wasteful. When we do a purge we just dumped it all. Yes, I’m really embarrassed to admit this fact, but I am proud to say it’s a thing of the past. Now, I donate as much as I can and find other uses for things that can not be donated or recycled. Over the next few days Summer is going to be helping us with tips on how to purge ourselves of different types of electronics. Today, Summer has great Christmas Lights Displayadvice on how to make room for new Christmas Lights.

It’s time to make the upgrade if you already haven’t … new holiday lights. What’s your excuse for not buying LED twinkles for your tree and house? The Home Depot is offering a “buy back” program where they’ll give your $3 for each stand of light you bring in towards the purchase of an LED strand. I don’t know about you but I spent less than $3 on my non-LED lights. LED stands for light-emitting diode. But what does that mean to you? LED lights save you on electricity as they claim to pull 90% less electricity when turned on compared to regular or non- LED lights. So you’ll also see more green on your electric bill for December – money that is.

If you find that Home Depot is no longer running the promotion, do not toss your lights. You can donate your Christmas Lights to the Christmas Lights Recycling Program.  All proceeds from the Christmas lights recycling program will be used to purchase Usborne books that will be donated to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. If that doesn’t work for you find another place to donate them, ask your school if they need any Holiday Lights (I know it’s sad many places no longer have public Christmas displays anymore, but I don’t see any harm in some Christmas lights do you?), or offer them to a church. Don’t put them in a landfill!

Little Fockers Hits Theaters December 22 Giveaway

Oh wow, I almost forgot all about this upcoming movie Little Fockers. I was in the airport this morning and saw an advertisement for it as I was walking to my gate. I was thinking oh that looks like a funny movie, well yeah, it’s the third movie in the series so of course it’s funny.

clip_image001clip_image002

The test of wills between Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) and Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) escalates to new heights of comedy in the third installment of the blockbuster series—Little Fockers.  Laura Dern, Jessica Alba and Harvey Keitel join the returning all-star cast for a new chapter of the worldwide hit franchise.

It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get “in” with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack.  After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack’s suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back.

When Greg and Pam’s entire clan—including Pam’s lovelorn ex, Kevin (Owen Wilson)—descends for the twins’ birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he’s fully capable as the man of the house.  But with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack’s final test and become the family’s next patriarch…or will the circle of trust be broken for good?
