Originally Posted By RoadTrip Personally, I would FAR RATHER get a nice new vacuum or steam hard floor mop than any of that outdoor stuff. I HATE yard work and hire a lawn guy to do all of mine.

I really don't mind... in fact I almost kind of like it... especially cleaning toilets! LOL I absolutely abhor a dirty toilet, so even though it's not the most pleasant task on earth, I like to do it.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip I received flowers just once in my life and I LOVED it! I think women tend to think that men wouldn't want flowers, but with me that is certainly not the case. I like pretty stuff as much as any woman. By the way... pretty stuff is ENTIRELY different from cutesy stuff. For example, a Hummel figurine is pretty; Precious Moments is cutesy stuff and tends to make me gag!

Originally Posted By Donny There are plenty of things dad would love other then tools.

Originally Posted By Lisann22 Like RoadTrip I was raised growing up that whoever was home was to do the housework.

At the same time - we girls (he had no sons) learned and did the weekly lawn mowing during summer vacation, along with prepping and washing our boat and trailer so that come Friday afternoon when my parents got home there was less for them to do so we could hit the road to the lake quicker. I'm so grateful for their progress thinking back in the 60's and early 70's, its served my sister and I well, along with our significant others over the years. ;> I know lots of men who enjoy receiving flowers/plants as gifts. And I loved the dremel drill, Leatherman and saw I've gotten on different occasions. ;>
