Maintenance Men Gifts

[Replies: 5]
Hello all! I run a small management/maintenance company for elderly apartment complexes. I have two maintenance men that work for me and I have a horrible time coming up with ideas for them. The company gets gift cards for them but this is just from me and I don't want to do two gift cards. I want to spend 30-40 dollars. Any ideas?

Thanks!

.Well, one gift wolud be really nice, exp since the cost of this item is so high.... "Give a Gas Card" to his favoriate station if you don't know what kind;) of gas he uses, hint around until you do..... Also, maybe a gift card to a store, one that deals w/mostly men's clothing.. OR give a gift card to a "Car Wash".. that is a few, hope these ideas help you out...
Have a Happy Holiday,

How about a couple of movie tickets with some popcorn, a box of "theater type" candy and add a lottery ticket in for each in a small stocking.
Or you can even get a fancy type popcorn (like the Pittsburgh Popcorn Company or whatever is close to you) that you can buy in a cute small bucket and add a few movie tickets to that.

Guys are so difficult to buy for, I feel for you! Good luck :-x

I agree... men are hard to buy for! ;) Here's an idea that all the guys in my family loved last year. Lowe's sells a really great flashlight (I'll attach the link). It can be used like a regular flashlight or the handle unfolds into a tri-pod. The head adjusts so you can work on something and no one needs to hold the light anymore. It's very light and great for any job. It's $20 so you could attach a lowe's gift card to go with it. Or AA batteries and another small gadget. It's up to you.

Hi! I hope this helps my boyfriend is a maintenance renovations coordinator for a nursing home so I got his input. (also these are good for mailman, construction workers etc)
A44162, A72946, A70001, F0405, A8102 (one of his Fave), A152040, M7246(Another fave smart money clip and cc holder) I also saw in Oprah Mag Dec 08 issue gifts under $100.00 one was Zapi, a topple proof toothbrush holder w/UV light to destroy bacteria $30.00. (www.violight.com). Also, a gift card would do as well as those comfort temp ear muffs QVC sells I couldnt find. They also have a lot of coffee for one pots that was a hit as well. Hope it helps! Happy Holidays! Trish
