FOR HIM: Home Depot

By 216 Comments

photo-2Home Depot is one of those shops that appeals to every guy: the handyman, the gardener, the landscaper, the cook, the builder.

When we went shopping there this morning, my husband immediately became distracted by the long aisles of products that seemed to beckon him.

I like the store well enough, I suppose. But it certainly doesn’t make my eyes light up or my toes tingle.

That’s why my husband volunteered to serve as your “personal shopper” this Christmas. Well, sort of. He perused the store/website and came up with some excellent guy-approved picks for your consideration.

Without further adieu, I bring you another edition of gifts guys REALLY want…all items that are under $50.

general tools mini infrared thermometer home depotGeneral Tools Mini Infrared Thermometer ($49.95)

Featuring a “rugged, pocket size design with built-in laser sighting,” this little thermometer will take accurate temps in mere seconds. He’ll be pointing and “shooting” that red laser beam at everything in the house in seconds after pulling it out of the stocking. And I can guarantee he’ll show off this gadget to all of his friends with pride.

zircon stud finder home depotZircon Studsensor Stud Finder With Wirewarning Alert and Spotlite Pointing System ($19.97)

Need to hang a picture up in your house? Take the hassle out of that project with the Zircon Stud Finder. With an easy-to-read display and the ability to find metal studs up to 1 1/2 inches beneath the surface of walls and ceilings, this is a practical (and affordably priced) stocking stuffer that won’t go unused. For example, if I take it and aim it around our house, it lands right on my husband – he’s such a stud (HA!).

xantrex power inverters home depotXantrex Compact Power Inverters ($34.99)

I don’t really know how to explain this succinctly, but my husband assures me that guys want this. “By plugging the Micro Inverter 175 into a vehicle’s lighter socket, users can conveniently recharge and run electronic devices such as cell phones, camcorders, laptop computers, and more.”

home depot gift cardsHome Depot Gift Card (available in denominations between $10-$500)

Let him decide what he wants. But YOU can have fun picking out the gift card. Home Depot has some of the most creative gift cards that I’ve seen out there for Christmas. Choose a card that looks and feels like duct tape, a card that smells like gingerbread and can be decorated with stickers, or a card that looks just like a paint color sample card.

photo-3Home Depot has it all! Well, almost. They really need a comfy seating section with couches, magazines, beverages, and a kids play area…for the moms and kids who venture into the store with their spouses.

Then, little ones won’t end up running “fast” through the aisles or “resting” on aisle shelves. Not that my little beauty would ever do that. I’m just saying…

WIN IT! One winner will receive a $100 gift card to Home Depot! To enter, browse the Home Depot website and leave a comment on this post stating (1) what you would buy with the card, (2) what you like about the website/store, and/OR (3) what you would improve about the website/store…prior to Monday, December 15 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.

FOR AN EXTRA ENTRY: Link to my site! Anywhere! You can add one of my buttons to your blog, add me to your blogroll, add my site to your Facebook page, you choose…Then, come back here and leave a second comment with a link to where you linked to me.

*UPDATE* The winner is #177 Dan. Congratulations!

  2. the Arrow 8000K Powershot Pro Kit Stapler and Brad Nailer would be so great to have!

    i really like the guy who works at my local home dept he always cut the wood for me perfectly~

  8. I’d buy an American Red Cross AM/FM Emergency Crank Radio if I won.

    I like the site because it’s very organized and easy to navigate.

  10. I’d probably be looking at a deadbolt lock like the Schlage Plymouth Double Cylinder Deadbolt. And I heartily second the desire for a waiting area for non-constructionally-inclined-with-small-children spouses. Believe me, they’d get a lot more of our business . . .

  13. I would get my mother in law a new leaf blower, she has a huge pecan tree in her front yard and is all the time trying to sweep up leaves off of her driveway. Everyone always slides on it because the leaves get sooo slick! So for her and our safety, I think a leaf blower would be the best bet!!

    I liked that the website was easy to navigate and it had at least some Christmas appeal to it. The prices are a little high but still reasonable.

    Reply

  14. My favorite thing about the Home Depot website is the comprehensive list of categories across the top, each of which having a drop-down menu of additional sub-categories. This website is easy to search or “browse” for anything you might need!

    Oh, and we’d buy paint…lots and lots of paint for a new nursery color, an updated kids’ room color, and we’d finally banish the pink (rose – but it’s pink) from our master bedroom as well!

  17. For my bedroom I’d get the Progress Lighting 52 In. AirPro Hugger Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fan

    Model P2525-09

    $95.22/Each Their website as their store is one of the best

  23. Home Depot is the greatest store. Everything from inside to outside the home. I would love to be able to get some new decorating ideas.

    Reply

  24. This is my husband’s favorite store and the one place I can send him to get rid of him for awhile. I would just give the gift card to him and let him have a field day. I like Home Depot because the staff is friendly and helpful.

  25. With the $100 Home Depot Gift Card, I would purchase a new wheelbarrow (Jackson
    6 Cu. Ft. Contractor Wheelbarrow) for lawn work. Our garage barely fits our two cars and I do not have a storage shed, so the wheelbarrow spends most of its time in the elements. My current wheelbarrow’s wooden handles have splintered and the plastic tub is cracked, so this new one would make lawn work a little more enjoyable. Home Depot’s website has an easy to use layout with the categories listed across the top – a feature that I like. If they were to improve their site, they might chose slightly larger fonts in their tabbed categories across the top.

  26. (1) what you would buy with the card,

    We would be purchasing a new kitchen faucet. Ours looks horrible and is held together by duck tape (attractive huh!). We have looked and they are not cheap, I would love this one:
    Delta
    Uptown Single Handle Chrome Pull-out Kitchen Faucet With Soap Dispenser
    Model 16928-SD
    It is regularly $138, on sale for $118 and it has free shipping!!!

    (2) what you like about the website/store, and/OR

    Home Depot is one of my favorite stores. I really like their Garden Club, I signed up with them for it well over a year ago and it was inspiring during our last garden, we had the best tomatoes this last year and I do owe some credit to Home Depot for that.

    (3) what you would improve about the website/store

    Honestly, nothing. I have never had a bad issue at either the brick store or the website. Happy customer at both of them.

  27. I really want to shelf my daughters room, so i would buy wall hinges and shelving. I really like the way the site is laid out and everything is really accessible.

    Reply

  31. Personally I would not buy anything with it, however my husband would think he died and went to heaven if he was gifted a $100 to Home Depot, as he spends most of his free time there. No mater what I ask him to do around the house it always involves at least three trips to Home Depot. I think he jut likes being in their store.

    I would buy light fixtures to update my home I just purchased. I like that the website is separated by each department so it is easy to find what you are looking for.

  35. I’d like to get a new bathroom fan/vent. They just need to make sure they have employees available to help find things. It’s hard to find someone.

  40. I would get a new ceiling fan for the kids’ bedroom. I like that the store has a wide selection of items at pretty good prices.

  41. I would purchase one of the blow-up air mattresses for guests. That’s one thing on my list that I haven’t gotten yet. I love the navigability of the website. It’s easy to find whatever I’m looking for. I also find that their pictures are pretty clear and give an accurate representation of the product.

  44. We need to buy tile for the bathroom…we had a leak and had to rip up the linoleum to repair it…I have been waiting and waiting to be able to afford tile to redo it! This would go a long way to help this project..thanks so much for the chance!

    Reply

  47. I would get a dremel tool kit for my husband. I like the helpful store employees when I shop at the store. I would include more things in the “Free Shipping” category online. Thanks for the contest!

  50. I would use it for a new grill, love grilling even in the winter. And price are good now. I love their website, I use it to research everything before I go buy it, very easy to follow.

    Reply

  51. WOW!!!! My husband can’t stay out of our local store. He always comes out empty handed because he can’t bring himself to spend money on himself. This would be a great gift for the person who is always thinking of others.

    Happy Holidays!!!

  53. We would really love to paint the kitchen, living room and my daughter’s room. This gc to HomeDepot would be perfect!

  54. We are in need of new glass doors for our fireplace, so I would definitely use the card for that. I like that the Home Depot website includes their weekly ad as a static feature.

  56. I would give it to my husband for Christmas as I know he has been wanting to replace his old cicular saw for a while now.

  58. I would buy the Honeywell 7-Day Universal Programmable Thermostat. I like the product reviews on the website.

  59. I would buy my daughter a rocking chair for her nursery. Home Depot is another store I could get lost in wishing, hoping, and dreaming. Their website is user friendly and give me an idea of what I’ll be able to pick up in the store.

    Reply

  65. I’d probably use the gift card to buy paint. My walls sure could use a new coat.
    I love that The Home Depot has classes for kids where they can make cute things like bird houses. My 6 yr old always has a blast.
    I really can’t think of anything that they could improve on…Maybe somewhere to sit down while my husband takes hours to look at everything.

    Reply

  68. Oooooo! Home Depot is my favorite store! If I won, I would buy a White Grand Isle ceiling fan by Hunter. I’m quite happy with the webstore too.

    Reply

  71. I would have to say I would have to buy paint for my daughters room. She would love that. I wouldn’t change anything I think it’s pretty easy to navigate around the site and find what you want.

  74. I would buy the Husky 6 gallon wet/dry vac (retails for abt $45 on sale here). But I would donate it to the clean-up efforts here in Iowa City after the flood of 2008. There are plenty of homes/university buildings that have not yet been salvaged. I’m sure some of the equipment needs to be replaced. For us, I would put the rest toward a new microwave, Home Depot has a silver finished one, brand LG, for abt. $80.

  75. I would get Christmas decorations, such as the energy efficient lights. I like this website because it has something for everybody.

  77. Oh yes…Home Depot…My husbands 2nd home away from home! Since he built our home himself over the course of 2 years (almost 22 years ago) he could really use this gift card to get what he needs to do some repairs on the house…for me!

  79. I would buy the Homelite 7 AMP Blower/Sweeper that I think could blow light snow off the walkway? What I like about Home Depot is the garden department. I have spent hours there.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  82. I would buy paint. After the new year we need to do some remodeling.

    THe site is easy to navigate and find what you want. That is what I like best about it.

  83. I would buy some new Behr’s paint. I’ve been wanting to paint the bedroom for ever now. I love going to Home Depot because they are always helpful when I ask questions and don’t assume I don’t know what I am doing because I am a woman. Thanks!

  86. Due to a series of unfortunate events {I don’t want to talk about it} my bathroom now needs repainting. This would definitely help.

  95. I’d put the hundred dollars towards buying mortar, grout, and tile spacers for our family room tiling project. We bought the tile four years ago, right after we bought the house, and it’s still stacked up in the corner. We had a rough time with the bedroom tiling, and this room is at least twice as big. A gift card would really help us get rolling on this project!

    Reply

  96. I would absolutely, positively buy a closet organizing system. We NEED that more than anything else right now and it is truly ALL that I want for Christmas this year.

    Reply

  101. More shelves/storage for the house. With all these boys we never have enough for there legos and other toys or maybe a new tree after christmas since some of our branches are MIA.
    You need a map of the store at the entrence so you can look up what you need on it, go to it and get out expecally when you have kids in tow.

    Reply

  103. Hmm, once again I would buy the adjustable wrench. What can I say, both stores carry them. And then I would get some great christmas decorations that we are in need of

    Reply

  108. If I win the Home Depot Gift Card, I will purchase the Cuisinart Griddler. This would sure be nice to have to heat some sandwiches among other things. Home Depot’s website is easy to use and easy to find what you are looking for. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    Reply

  109. I would buy all sorts of things!!! It could be lumber and building supplies for the barn (which majorly needs some TLC), a few trash cans for the barn, tools, and probly gardening supplies (we do a lot of gardening!) Thanks for the chance!!!

    Reply

  112. I’d buy the Hampton Bay 52 In. Redington IV Ceiling Fan in Brushed Steel for my dining room. It’s gorgeous.

    I love Home Depot, both the store and the website. I like how the website is divided into categories and from there you can choose the price range of the products you are looking for. This way if you only have a certain amount to spend you don’t have to wade through choices that are beyond your price range.

  116. I would buy a green product, sustainable wood or CFL lights for example. Sustainability and energy efficient products are very important to me,it’d be nice to buy something that gives back to the earth.

  122. This may sound really stupid but my husband is tall and he would love a tall toilet. We had one once in a house we rented and now that we have our own house we really want a tall toilet. LOL

    Reply

  124. OOH OOH OOH!!! This definitely makes my toes tingle!!! What a great thing this would be, we are doing a massive remodel and we buy materials from Home Depot all the time!! My guess is that we would either buy lumber, or put it towards windows, or a Miter saw (I mentioned needing one in the Lowe’s giveaway, too….we need one!!! LOL!!!). But I also need a new oven, so maybe I could put it towards a GE 30 In. Freestanding Electric Range, found here: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100597008&N=10000003+503399+90401&marketID=90401&locStoreNum=8125
    As for what I like about the store? The prices, the selection – we just got one in my area a few months back, and I love it! It is SUCH a help to have one locally.
    What would I improve about the store? They move things around a lot, which makes them hard to find. The contractor bags in my store are forever changing places – sometimes they’re in a display by the cash register, sometimes they’re stacked by lumber, and who knows where they will be next time! So there’s my two cents, ha ha!
    Thanks so much for the chance! I’d be thrilled to win!!

  150. I love Home Depot! I would use the GC to purchase the Bissell Flip-!t® Select Hard Floor Cleaner. I can really use this for those quick floor cleaning touchups that I like to do everyday around the house. It would be so much more convenient to use this than having to lug out my heavy duty vacuum everyday just to do the daily maintenance that I find I want to do. With 3 young children and 2 dogs this is always necessary! Thank you for the opportunity to enter.

  160. 1. If I were to win the giveaway, I would put the gift card towards a new refrigerator…our old one really needs to be replaced.

    2. On the site, I liked that when I clicked on a category to browse, a buying guide and “how-to” videos were displayed as well. Nice to have those come up without searching for them.

    3. No ideas for improving the site, it looks fine as is.

  166. Home Depot has a set of bathroom faucets that would be perfect for my upstairs bathroom. Both sets are broken upstairs and I can never seem to find enough $ to get them both replaced at the same time. This would cover both sets nicely!

  172. We don’t own a house yet so for us we love going down Home Depot’s aisles daydreaming what we would do with our house someday. But in reality we really need to relaminate our rental’s bathroom that we accidently damaged so the gift card would go towards that project.

    Reply

  173. I would put it towards a new dryer, ours is on its last legs. We shop at Home Depot a lot, they carry a tremendous variety of products.

  174. I know one man that would love this…he has so many little projects going, Im sure he could find some new tool he needs. I like our Home Depot, but there never seems to be enough people around to help…especially for us weaker sexes. Just kidding. But really? Sometimes I don’t even know the name of what Im looking for, let alone where in 5,000 sq. ft. it is located. Great giveaway!

  177. I was just at Home Depot last week looking for items to renovate the bathroom. I found out that things are more expenxive than I thought they would be!! The Home Depot employee was very knowledgable and friendly. The gift card would help toward the bathroom renovation.

  186. Home Depot is HUGE in my area. There are 3 within a 10 minute drive of my suburb of Columbus, OH. We love Home Depot’s paint department. Their employees are very friendly and always have the answers to our list of questions. I would use this gift card to put towards new peel and stick tiles for our kitchen. They have this one that we’ve used in both our bathrooms that looks just like real slate but without the hassle and cold feel! The one improvement my husband and I could think of is that it never seems like there are enough checkout lanes open.
    Another thing I love about Home Depot is they host a kids workshop once a week/month. They give your kid one of their aprons and write their name on it and let them do some kind of tool craft. So cute!

    Reply

  187. You are just overflowing with great giveaways girl!

    Okay, on to my entry…if I were to win a $100 Home Depot gift card I’d use it towards the purchase of a new sink. It’s a long story but suffice it to say we need one in our kitchen.

    I like that Home Depot is one stop home improvement shopping. When I go there to peruse the herbs in the garden section I can also pick up chlorine for the spa and rock salt for the water softener. I’m all about convenience!

    What would I improve? I think they need better coverage as far as employees in their departments. Often times my husband and I have questions but we can’t find a store associate to help. And when we do find a store associate he/she is usually already helping someone else.

    Thanks for offering these great gift idea giveaways Stephanie!

    Reply

  190. You know, I’d give this to my husband. That man, he loves Home Depot. I’ve found some killer deals there, so I don’t mind shopping…but like I’ve said before…they need a lady section! How awesome would that be. I already carry a book with me where ever we go…I’d throw in some knitting and be a happy girl. No more having to sit on a shelf in a quite part of the store. You wouldn’t believe how many times I get asked if everything is okay. LOL They probably think I’m nuts!

    Okay, I think I found it. I *think* my hubby would really like the 1/2 inch impact wrench. I’d swear he already has one, but I can never be sure. They all look the same!

    Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!!

  192. OOOo…lets see..We like going to Home Depot to get wood and building materials. I would really love to build the kids a wooden playhouse. This card would really help for some of the costs! The Home Depot site is great, but we really like going into the stores!

    Reply

  193. Although, like you said, Home Depot doesn’t “give me the thrill” that it does my husband, I do appreciate how well organized their stores are, and how helpful the associates are in finding things. I also appreciate that they do a free Kid’s build-it activity on the first Saturday of every month, and my boys have really enjoyed that when we’ve gone. I would definitely spend the certificate on some fun things for hubby, like a nice tool tote he’s been wanting, and maybe a nifty BBQ-ing set, since he’s a grill-fanatic.

  194. We have that Studfinder & hubby loves it! Now if only I could get him to hang my new mirror…

    I love Home Depot – I find all kinds of unexpected things there – like the $60 butcher block cutting board I bought on clearance for $15 for my sister’s Christmas present this year! I also like to wander around the lighting, kitchen and floor coverings sections and dream about improvements I’d like to make to our house!

  195. Another GREAT giveaway. If I was fortunate enough to win, I would buy myself birdfeeders and birdseed, a new snow shovel for my husband, a few gallons of paint to paint my daughter’s bedroom, and whatever was left over I’d buy some new knobs for my bathroom vanity. I LOVE Home Depot. I have always gotten exactly what I need there, everything’s in stock!

  196. We moved into a new house about 6 months ago. When we first moved in, I joked that we should buy stock in Home Depot because we were there about 3-4 times a week for the first few weeks! Now that we all the little things are working, we are focusing on bigger things like replacing window coverings! I know my husband would be willing to apply it to new blinds for our living room windows! Great giveaway – thanks for offering!

  197. Home Depot is one of those stores that I love to shop in. There is just an endless amount of possibility in that store. I’d give the gift card to my father for Christmas but if I was to say what my favorite thing is it would be a panini grill.

  198. Oh my gosh, what project do I start with from our TO DO list??????!!!! I can spend $100 at Home Depot in 3 minutes flat!!! I do use their website when when need to compare prices. Most of the time, I just go to the store instead of shopping online.

  200. I can’t ever find anything I am searching for on Lowe’s website but I always can on Home Depot’s … so compared to the comp – their website rocks.

  201. We would absolutely buy some landscaping items–flowers, mulch, more mulch & maybe some big pots for flowers. Our yard is just on the bottom of our budget at this time. What I like about Home Depot’s site is the listing of the workshops they offer! Sometimes the individual stores just don’t know what’s going on. LoL.

  206. Okay, the commenter above me stole my idea. :) We moved to SE Texas last year, and we don’t have any ceiling fans in our house! I would like to save on our A/C bill next year, so yeah, we’d buy a ceiling fan, too. :)

  207. This probably sounds boring but we’d likely put it towards the purchase of a ceiling fan for our living room. Ours is old and tacky ;)

  210. Our dishwasher broke a week before baby came so now I spend my days at the sink. This would go towards buying a new dishwasher..b/c this one would like to hang up her rubber gloves. thanks.

  211. I wanted to make a toy box for the little guy and this card would come in handy. I wish HD would have calendars of their how-to classes online because there have been a lot of projects that appealed to me yet I missed.

  216. I’d probably buy paint and painting supplies to repaint my bathroom, but I’m eyeing the popup greenhouses on their website. Their website is pretty easy to navigate which is nice.
