dewalt tools : Doodads for dad

Still don’t have a present for dad?
Time is running out. Father’s Day is Sunday.
Not sure where to even start?
We have a few suggestions.

TOOLS
Ah, you can never go wrong with tools. Maybe dear old dad wants a new cordless drill. Or maybe a new set of wrenches.
A word of caution: Men want their tools to match. If all his other tools are DeWalt, then be sure to buy him DeWalt tools. He doesn’t want to mix and match. Here’s a hint: All tool brands are color-coded. DeWalt tools are yellow; Firestorm tools are orange; Milwaukee tools are red; Delta tools are blue and Hitachi tools are green.
Where to find it: Home improvement or hardware stores, such as Lowe’s, Home Depot and Ace Hardware.

CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES
Want to make Dad look like a fashion plate? Then perhaps buying him clothing for Father’s Day is the way to go. Most men agree they can never have too many polo shirts, ties or dress shirts.
Looking for something seasonal? Chris Crabill, Dillard’s store manager, said sandals are all the rage for Father’s Day this year. Give Dad some Rainbow or Reef sandals, if he’s a flip-flop kind of guy. Then, he’ll be comfortable and in style.
Crabill also said you can’t go wrong with cologne. It’s something most men don’t buy for themselves.
Where to find it: Department and discount stores, such as Belk, Dillard’s, T.J. Maxx, Marshall’s and Kohl’s.
