Every year, I have more and more people proudly tell me how they did most their holiday gift purchases at Pete’s Hardware. They loved avoiding the crowded shopping centers, did not have to fight traffic and found something for everyone on their list, including the person who is always so hard to buy for.

Hardware stores offer so many practical gifts if you really think about it. What little boy or girl doesn’t love his very own flashlight? New drivers in the family should always have an emergency kit in their car, for minor car repair or medical attention. The gardener can always use new gardening tools, gloves, planters or pretty garden décor. For the do-it-yourselfer, whether new at repairs or a seasoned pro, you can always find a new “toy” for the toolbox that may inspire completion of that long awaited project.  A lantern or emergency light to use when the power goes out is a great gift for Grandma and Grandpa. And don’t forget everyone can use a supply of batteries.

At Pete’s Hardware you will also find toys to stuff the stockings, cuddly blankets, warm socks and puzzles to wrap and place under the tree. Heck, we even have the trees! So this year, consider making your holiday shopping fast and easy, and join the growing number of people who proudly proclaim, they purchase their holiday gifts at their local hardware store.
