Valentine's Day gift ideas inspiration board

 

With Valentine’s Day just a day away, it’s time you put some thought into what you’re going to give your sweetheart. Depending on who you’re shopping for, we don’t always think it’s necessary to make a huge gesture with a Valentine’s Day gift. But you can treat someone to a little present, even if you know it’s just something they need rather than something they want. For the homeowner or decorating-obsessed, a tool could be the perfect way to make their crafting or projects just a little bit easier.

We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite must-have items, from the do-it-all pocket knife to the all-purpose flashlight.

TOP ROW:

Whether you’ve just purchased your first house or you’re just now getting into renovation projects, a flashlight is one of those items that you never think to buy until you’re elbow-deep in a project and it’s too late. The Maglite LED Flashlight is a dependable light with a sleek design that’s used by everyone from your professional contractor to your scout leader.

A garden hose may not be the most glamorous gift you’ve ever given, but it is something that helps a house run smoothly. With spring around the corner, it’s sure to get a lot of action in the coming months.

Forum associate Chris Long swears by this utility knife, insisting that it’s the most useful one he owns!

Add the Personal Touch to Gift Cards With Personalized Video

My gift giving philosophy is all about giving my friends and family want they want or need and sometimes that means giving them a Gift Card to ensure that they get their gift exactly the way they want it.  

I know some folks out there think that giving a gift card isn’t very personal.  But The Home Depot has changed all of that with our new Personalized Video Gift Card. Imagine being able to record your message in video telling your loved ones how much they loved or sharing a special video from their favorite family vacation or family event.  These new Gift Cards truly make gift card giving very personal.

Home Depot’s Personalized Video Gift Card lets you record or upload a video for your family and friends to enjoy on a virtual 3D movie screen.  All they need is his computer, a webcam and the Gift Card to view your video.  Even they don’t have a webcam; they’ll be able to view it.

Home Depot’s new Personalized Video Gift Card isn’t available anywhere else so start thinking about the video message you want to share with everyone on your list.  I have quite a few names yet to cross off my gift giving list; so I think I am going to attach some old video excerpts that I have on my computer to those gift cards for a good laugh and warm memories.

Don’t forget…Home Depot’s Gift Cards never have any fees and they never expire.  They can be redeemed online or at your favorite Home Depot store so check out this demo for the Personalized Video Gift Cards today:
