For some people, whenever they go to the mall, their instincts pull them into the department store. They end up buying something they never planned to buy. For me, my instincts pull me to a different part of the mall – the home depot area. It feels like I’m in a toy store when I am in that area. Everything I love is in there: gardening materials, paints, clamp tools, hammers, air compressors, etc.

Some friends of mine think it is weird, but come to think of it, I got it from my Mom. You see when I was young, she was the one doing all the home improvements. So most of the time, I went with  her to the home depot. I know it is not usual and all but hey that’s me.

Oh almost forgot to mention, sometimes the coolest gifts I give come from the hardware store. Like last time I got my friend a Swiss utility knife for his birthday. He said that it was the best gift he received yet. See?
