Gifts for the gardener in your life
For this reason, we know better than to wear our good clothes. Instead we relegate torn jeans, holey shirts and battered tennis shoes as our gardening wardrobe. We tie cotton sweat bands around our foreheads and take off our jewelry. We know it�s time to get down to the filthy business of gardening.
All gardeners spend time out of doors and, let�s face it, we need protection from the scorching sun. If your gardener likes hats, there are a lot of different shapes and sizes available. But be choosy. A person who wouldn�t mind wearing a wide brimmed straw hat with a colorful ribbon may not be the same person who would prefer a simple baseball cap or visor. Some gardeners don�t care for hats at all, and in that case, a couple bottles of high protection sunscreen could be a good stocking stuffer at the very least.

Considering the amount private info that goes into a mailbox, keep it ...
| Stand-alone mailboxes are like treasure chests. They can hold missives from family, bills, junk mail, birthday cards -- but more importantly, correspondence with personal information.
Mailboxes need security measures, such as locks and keys, to keep prying people from seeing or stealing private letters. They also can help minimize vandalism.
''It's a big issue -- mail theft,'' says Bruce Franklin, who owns All Valley Masonry in Fresno, Calif., and has built custom mailboxes for the last 12 years. ''It's not about [stealing] a check anymore. It's about identity theft.''
