Gifts for "Daddy Dearest"

Father's Day is fast approaching. Are you still wondering what to get dad? Is dad tired of belts, socks, and neckties? We saw many great gift ideas, big and small, at the recent international lawn, garden and power expo in Louisville. New mower technology included super-quiet, cordless electric models and robo-mowers that trim the lawn by themselves. All dad need do is put up a perimeter wire, push a button, sit back and supervise. Leaf blowers are better, too. New battery-powered electric models produce a 200-mile-an-hour air stream, yet are no louder than a vacuum cleaner or hair dryer. Some also double as a lawn vacuum and leaf mulcher. There were great small items, too, like high-tech puncture-proof gardening gloves and nifty ?hear muffs? -- safety ear muffs to protect dad's hearing. The latter features a built-in AM/FM radio. Wondering what to get dad? Your local home and garden center just might have the answer. For more tips, visit our Web site at onthehouse.com. And that's the On The House tip for today.
