Favorite Holiday Gifts from Nightingale’s Tully Lakes Ace Hardware

Nightingale’s Tully Lakes Ace Hardware store in the Village of Tully has more than just hardware! Here are some of our customer’s favorite gifts during the holiday season!

#1 DryShod Boot. Dryshod boots are 100% waterproof and come in winter and year-round styles for Men, Women, and kids. With lots of colors and temperature ratings to choose from- they are one of the most popular gift items we sell going into the cold season. Perfect for outdoorsmen & women, hunters, ice fisherman, and anyone who spends time working or playing outside in CNY winters!

#2 Grills and Grilling Accessories. The holidays are a big time of year for gifting new grills or special accessories for the BBQ cook in your life. The holidays bring some really great deals on upgrading to a new Weber gas grill, Traeger pellet smoker or the increasingly popular flat-top griddle made by Weber and Blackstone. And there is an endless supply of accessories for the cook that already has a grill- Gift them cooking utensils, special insert grates like pizza stones, sear grates, and griddle inserts, or new wi-fi temperature probes. Seasonings, sauces, and hot sauces are always a favorite too – and make a perfect stocking stuffer!

#3 Milwuakee Heated Apparel. Every winter we see more and more customers choosing heated clothing as the go-to choice for staying warm without overly bulky jackets. Milwuakee offers a variety of jackets, camo, vests, and hoodies that are heated with rechargeable batteries. They are a favorite of anyone working or playing outside in winter- warm without being bulky- and they fly of the shelves around the holiday season!

#4 Wild Bird Feeding. Backyard bird feeding peaks during winter months and the holidays are the perfect time to give the gift of an extra special bird feeder that someone may not necessarily buy for themselves. Our assortment of top-end wooden bird feeders and specialty glass and decorative hummingbird feeders are very popular items before Christmas. We also have some limited time seasonal items such as wreath shaped suet handers and novelty feeders and bird houses.

#5 Ooni Pizza Ovens. Backyard pizza night became popular during the pandemic and the trend stuck. Oonis pizza ovens are a high-temperature backyard pizza oven that reach temperatures of 750 degrees using propane, charcoal, firewood, or cooking pellets (depending on the model). They come in various sizes and are portable enough to pop up on a picnic table. The high temperature heats the pizza stone fast and makes cooking a homemade pizza better than takeout! The popularity of Ooni is soaring and is a unique gift for the pizza lover and backyard party host on your list!

#6. Battery Powered Power Tools. Battery power is the new trend and it is in every category from power tools to lawn equipment. Every major brand – including Ego, Milwaukee, Dewalt and Craftsman are continuing to up the game in battery powered performance. We see an increasing number of homeowners and professionals upgrading to battery powered string trimmers, leaf blowers, chainsaws, push trimmers, and even riding mowers and snow blowers that are battery operated. The Ego Battery Powered Snowthrowers are available in store and also by online order this winter season! Ace has Black Friday and December sales and deals that are sure to make picking out new tools and power equipment something you can do for multiple people on your shopping list!

#9 Gifts for Greenthumbs. We all have someone on our list that loves their garden or houseplants. The holiday season is a great time to put together a gift set that every greenthumb will love: A beautiful new flower pot, a new set of hand tools, and a Nightingale gift card that will let them pick out flowers, hanging baskets or vegetable seedlings from the plant tent next spring! Or surprise them with some winter-blooming plants like a Christmas Amaryllis or one of the unique houseplants from our new rack of indoor succulents and cacti
