Gifts by Personality
by Lisa Carey
Everyone likes to shop for gifts, but it is hard when you have a different personality than the person you are buying for. If you have someone on your list that is hard to buy for, do not worry. I am here to help. I offer up my gift suggestions for everyone on your list: The Do it Yourselfer (DIY), Recreational Lover, Sports Junkie, Style Setter, Home Executive and Home Gourmet cook. My gift ideas will not only be well received, but they will show how thoughtful you are about your family and friend's passions and interests.
Gifts for the "Do It Yourselfer"
Does someone special like to do everything on his or her own? Do they take great pride and care in their car, their lawn or maybe even really use and enjoy their tools? If so, these gift ideas and information can help you choose the perfect gift, and you did it yourself!
For those who love their cars,
try these gifts that will allow them to "do it themselves": The
Microfiber Detailing Kit includes a wash mitt, bug sponge, three auto cloths, two windshield/glass cloths, extra-large drying towel and two finish pads, all made of soft, absorbent microfiber. Consider
Craftsman 53 pc. Mechanics Tool Set 34 sockets in 1/4 and 3/8 in. drive, 3 drive tools, 2 open end wrenches & 14 specialty tools. Comes with a fitted blow molded case for storage, organization and portability.
For those who really love to do it themselves at Tool Time,
try these gifts:
Customize your tools and
tool carriers or storage. You will never again wonder if it is your tool, and it will help your neighbors to remember to bring them back! For Great tool ideas, check out our Best of Craftsman Tool Guide.

For a do it yourselfer gift that won't make them yawn, here are some
gifts for their garden and lawn:
The
Three Sixty Patio Garden Set is a gift that will delight your do it yourself gardener with all her tools in one place. It features a practical pink canvas bag, a handy set of mini garden tools manufactured using quality wood and stainless steel and enhanced by appealing design details such as ribbon hanging loops and soft grip handles, a bypass secateur and thinning scissors with soft grip handles. Not only does the do it yourself gardener need their tools all in one place, but it's also important to be comfortable while sitting, kneeling and standing while tending the garden. To keep your DIY Gardener comfortable and safe, consider the gift of a
Step 2
Garden Seat & Kneeler.

Are they into being "green?"
Try buying the
Worx All-in-One Blower/Vac/Mulcher. They won't have to spend as much money on people to do their lawn or on mulch, plus doing it themselves will be creating a more eco-friendly environment in their yard with natural mulch.
At Home or Away, Gift Ideas for Recreational Play
Start a Rec. Room. Bring their love of recreation home
with a
Pool Table, or be prepared for three table top games in one with the
Harvard Convertible 3 in 1 Multi Game Table that provides you with the table and accessories to easily play table tennis, air hockey and pool all in one and all in your game room. Or maybe your family and friends enjoy darts. Take all the work out of keeping score and simply play with the
Sportcraft Xenon™ Electronic Dart Board and Cabinet Set that includes six soft tip darts and offers 25 games with 176 variations
and an LCD with Cricket Light Display. Another great gift idea for the home or bar dart player is from

With the price of gas, maybe you would like to go alone or take family and friends biking in a park or along a river corridor. Pack a picnic lunch and spend the day. Does someone need a bike? You can easily fix that and get them one as a gift. Men may enjoy the gift of a

Gifts for the Style Setter
Presents that make "scents."
You can find some of the most recent and classical in clothing at
Lands End, with clothing and accessories for women and children in classic lines and colors. But, you don't just get to look good with these gift ideas, you can also smell good. The right fragrance can have you feeling like a celebrity, a stylist or even an heiress. Try
Paris Hilton Heiress 1.7 Oz Eau De Perfume Spray to see if the paparazzi stalk you. Or, maybe you prefer to shop New York style with the scent of
5th Avenue Eau De Perfume 2.5 oz. Spray. Who better to create a romantic and personally inviting perfume than renowned wedding dress designer Vera Wang, who offers her
signature
Vera Wang Eau De Perfume 1.7 oz. Spray to bring a romantic scent to your everyday life.

Does the man in your life associate style with cowboy hats and boots as well as his "good" jeans? If so, he may enjoy a gift of
Tim McGraw 1.7 oz Eau De Toilette or if you just can't stop thinking about the special man in your life, maybe you should purchase the gift of
Obsession for Men by Calvin Klein 4 oz Eay De Toilette Spray. Don't forget that all scents last longer when you add layers, so your gifts of style and scent should also include matching shower gels and lotions whenever possible.
