How to please your man.

Rule #1. When at your local home improvement store, pick up some fancy gadget that does a simple job, and give it to your guy. He’ll be super excited and go crazy in that area of lawn care.

Lawn Butler's Rocket Weeder

Earlier this week, I went to Lowes in search of mulch and potting soil and other similar stuff. Then I saw the above contraption. Our lawn has a million “Non-edible by Fifi” dandelions that is ugli-fying it. So I decided to get Devon the Yard Butler Rocket Weeder to get him excited about taking care of the problem. It’s heavy duty with a nice handle and a lever and a foot stomp thing. Moving parts and whatnot, so I figured Devon would be pretty excited about it.

It not only has it motivated Devon, but its done the same to every male who has seen it… 2 guys in line with me at Lowes started talking about how awesome it was and one guy even took it out of my cart to start futzing with it. Our landlord/neighbor, Fred, saw Devon using it this afternoon and started chatting him up and how he wants to borrow some time. And Devon has been weeding, almost obsessively, since he got home from work this evening.

Best “dude” gift ever!!!

Buy one online here for $29 or pick one up at your local Lowes store for $19.

    That is awesome! While yard implements don’t necessarily fall into the “best dude gift ever” category, the Rocket Weeder looks like a notable exception!
