2011 Holiday Gift Guide & Black Friday Deals

Gifts for the DIY’er and Contractor In Your Life

First off I’d like to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and say that I’m extremely thankful for all of our long term readers and fans here on HCI. Today while smelling the great Turkey roasting in the oven there are all kinds of conversations about Christmas wish lists for the kids and everyone else.

If you’re still looking for ideas on Tools for the DIY’er or Contractor in your life then I hope you’ll take a few minutes and check out the 2011 Holiday Gift Guide that I created full of tools that I like. The document is a PDF so you can save it and even email it to friends and family. The guide contains tools from under $20 up to several thousand!

Disclaimer: If you buy products from the links in the guide I do make a very small commission from Amazon or Home Depot.

Black Friday Deals

Tomorrow is the mother of all shopping days and it’s also the one day to score the biggest deals on the products you want most. I really don’t like crowds so I find myself shopping more and more online each year to the point where I don’t even want to go in a store (I know there are many that still love to hit the stores and that’s ok too!).

I wanted to quickly share a few deals that we are aware of for tomorrow’s big shopping day. Below are banners to some great deals so please check them out.
