Handy gift ideas for the plumber in your life
Q: I’m a pretty good home handyman, so good that evenmy friends callmeoften for advice. This holiday season Iwant to give some friends and family homerelated gifts. Do you have any good ideas for some plumbing fixture gifts?
A: For a special treat, I put together a list ofwhat makes a good plumbing gift.
First, youwant an easy-to-install fixture. Thisway, nobody gets in over their head.
Second, don’t break the bank. Keep it affordable; look for something under $200. Third, make it fun! Youmay be asking yourself, “What plumbing gift can do all that?”
I have three gift ideas that can fit the bill:
Specialty toilet seats: Toilet seats with night lights, anti-slam hinges and air-freshener features can make nice gifts.
Decorativewall-hung soap dispensers: This gift canwork for a bathroom or kitchen.
Musical showerheads: A showerhead complete with removable wireless speaker technology can give your family and friends some good clean fun for the holidays. Ed Del Grande is a master contractor, plumber and LEED green associate. Visit eddelgrande.com or write eadelg@cs.com.
