House and Home: Tools and Gadgets Holiday Gift Guide

I know men love tools, Geeks love electronics (I am a self-proclaimed Geek, so I can say it with love), and women love things that make life easier! So, I am excited to bring you this gift guide today!

Mom Says: Batteries are batteries… or are they? I liked the EnviroMAX batteries I was sent for review. They lasted and to top it off they are GREEN! If you are like me, batteries tend to be forgotten when giving gifts. Sit down with all the things you have already purchased and make a list of the batteries you need. Then, add them up and get to purchasing them! If one gift only needs 2 and another needs 4, buy a pack of 6, open it, and put the individual batteries in the package!
