Almost forgot a Big Guy on your list? Wow - close shave!

 
Just remembered that it was on your to-do list to get your bro-in-law a Christmas prezzie? Yikes. Here’s a quick idea. Black & Decker’s Ratcheting Ready Wrench  will help him out with  barbecue assembly, bike repair or auto chores, and he won’t have to keep, lug or store a  socket set. It has 16 socket options — from 5/16-inch to ¾-inch — built right into the tool. It’s also got a short-pin design, which means it slides easily over nuts tightened down on long bolts. Colour-coded socket sizes make it a no-brainer to use, and  a direction selector ring makes changing directions while ratcheting a breeze. About $29, it’s available all over the place.

If it’s big Daddy-in-Law you’ve left to the last minute, think about a fancy new shaver. Philips SensoTouch 3D features a pivoting cap head, which means it slides easily over facial curves, and a precision trimmer for mustaches and sideburns. Batteries have a good life – about 60 minutes or 20 days of shaving. Some models have a wet/dry function so users can choose which way to go. Perfect if you want to impress/get in good with the old fella. Available at major retailers, the Philips SensoTouch 3D shavers start at about $230.  A 2D range starts at about $160.
