20% Off All Garden Lights - Save Huge This Christmas

One of the most important elements of a well-designed garden is the outdoor lighting and unfortunately, this is often overlooked or poorly executed. At Rayneau, we believe exterior lighting does not only have practical purpose, but applied correctly it can showcase your garden and its features in the evening light.

We're offering 20% off all garden  lights

As night falls, a well-lit garden comes to life and often takes on a different persona. The mood changes as shadows form and key features are illuminated by a warm glow of light.

Apart from decorating for Christmas there are benefits of garden lighting you may have not thought of before. So if you are on the fence about whether or not you should move forward with this lighting, here are some things to consider. 

Security - A garden with appropriate lighting can often discourage trespassers or thieves from entering the property. There are fewer places for burglars to hide and a greater chance they will be exposed when the property is well lit, thus increasing your level of security.

Beauty - The right choice in lighting can actually become part of the landscaping. It will help to showcase aspects of your landscaping design or garden while also offering the right amount of aesthetics.

Illumination - This is the obvious reason most people opt for exterior lighting. You want a way to light up the outside of your home for those times you have over friends and family for BBQs and get-togethers on the patio or lawn.

Keeping these three factors in mind, our garden lights are designed and created for outdoor lighting. The lighting systems are affordable at a whooping 20% off and are  easy-to-install. Add a touch of magic and warmth to your holiday season with a dazzling array of garden lights from Rayneau and bring back that sparkle in your yard.

“It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”
― Mother Teresa

The Christmas season is round the corner, and this means, it is once again the time for you to buy and give to your children as well as the under privileged ones! Certainly, this festive season is about the love one can share to other people. But this does not mean that you are not allowed to make your own as well as other children happy and smiling.

If you have very young children, it is only normal that they cannot appreciate nor understand the real meaning of Christmas. However, this does not mean that you are not supposed to do something that will guarantee all your children are going to have an enjoyable time in this festive season.

With the help of Christmas toys, you will definitely familiarize your children to the meanings of Christmas even if it is in a slow method, but the important matter is, they will be able to appreciate one of the most important essence of this holiday, and that is giving and being generous.

We must also be cognizant of other children in our community. For many needy or underprivileged children the only gift they receive at Christmas is from a relative, a friend or some good Samaritan. Some families have lost their jobs, a few are unemployed while others have suffered a severe medical set-back that in turn, negatively impacted their economic situation. 

Giving a gift will serve both the kids and their parents so they don’t have to make a choice between Christmas presents or other necessities this Holiday season. And when you give generously to those who have less than you, the public watch in awe and admiration, because you empowered others to seek change.

Change your gift giving pattern this year. While you buy for your children remember a-not-to-fortunate little one out there. It would mean so much to him/her.

At Rayneau's, your options for children's Christmas gifts are endless! What's better all our toys are 50% Off!

Come choose from our wide selection, Our Customer Service Representatives are ready to assist you in putting a smile on your child's face this Christmas.  #ShopRayneau

10 Cool Tools For DIY Dads This Holiday Season

I hear it again and again……Dads are hard to shop for. Which is funny – as that most of us dads would disagree. The fact is dads are actually very easy to please – we just ask for the best.

The seven months between Father's Day and the Christmas holidays are enough time to put a serious beating on dad's tools. It's a good thing his loved ones are caring enough to take this time to replace the most worn and destitute tools—or to buy him something he's always wanted.

Well – you’re in luck. Finding gifts for dads is now a breeze with the short listed list below. We’ve sorted through all of the gifts in our hand tools stock and present to you 10 Christmas gifts for dads that they are sure to smile about for months to come.

Enjoy!

Mintcraft 4-in-1 Double Box Ratcheting Wrench Set, Metric Black, 2-Piece: While not “all-in-one ratchet wrenches offer eight fastener sizes that cover most DIYers and homeowner needs, with the robust reversible ratcheting mechanisms, these wrenches will make light work of dad’s projects.

This tool provides a smooth profile and unbroken surface allows more torque to be applied comfortably. It is able to tackle the following sizes: 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19 m

Stanley 84-024 10-inc:h Bi-Material Groove Joint Pliers Wrench: This tool is the Popeye of pliers and quick-adjust wrenches. It may be small but is capable of exerting a surprisingly high level of nut-gripping leverage. Use its marring parallel jaws on finished components, or show a stubborn fasteners who’s boss.

This tool replaces the need for sets of metric and imperial spanners and is also excellent for gripping, holding, pressing and bending work pieces.Your dad would love to use this for his next plumbing project.

Ergonomic Screwdrivers are easy on the hands even when torquing down on screws. They have cushioned handles that conform to users’ unique grips, making them comfortable to hold and use.

These tools can be very comforting to dads who have arthritis in their hands

Mintcraft Multi Tool: This multi tool from Mintcraft is packed with useful gadgets that Dad can use for fixing things around the house, and it’s just nice to have in case something breaks. Rather than carry around a big toolbox, or have to store a bunch of tools, he can have many of the things he needs all in one place with this.

Makita Cordless Drill: This drill is sure to help dad with all sorts of tasks around the home. It features plenty of power to get most of the jobs done. Ask any dad and they’ll tell you that your drill is the cornerstone of what you can get done when it comes to DIY projects

Portable Charcoal Grill Set: This grill set is made out of a durable metal so it’s going to hold up to wear and tear from regular use, and provide Dad with everything he needs to be master of the grill. If Dad loves to grill all the season long he will definitely get tons of use from this.

Stanley Level: A good level is a great gift.  Just make sure you give him a picture of yourself.  So when he opens the picture and the level, you can tell him you just want him to make sure your picture is level on the wall.

Stanley Work Platform Step Stool: Simple. Sturdy. Functional. This tool comes with a Slip resistant step treads for security, a one hand fold and lock release and a deluxe molded utility tray for tool and paint tray and pails.

Gets the job done. And you can make a “getting older” crack with it, if you and your dad have that kind of relationship.

Proline Extension Chords: Instead of the usual, cumbersome extension cords he’s used to, get him this retracting extension cord reel. An impressive 30-foot cord easily pulls out and locks at whatever length his project requires, and it automatically retracts when he’s done. He’ll also love how easily it stores, unlike his typical extension cords.

Vampliers: Stripped and rusty screws are a major frustration for the handy man and DIY dad. However, they’re a common enough occurrence, so give Dad the tool he needs in order to handle stubborn screws like a pro.

We tried to keep the list to a minimum, but the truth is we could go on and on. There are so many great hand/power tools that you could give dad for Christmas, it was hard to stop.  I know you could think of about 10 items we missed, but let us know

Update Your Front or BackYard With A Dynamic Flower Garden

Section of a front yard flower garden

Ask a child to draw a garden, and they'll draw some flowers. Give a gardener a front stoop, and what will likely appear is a flowerpot. For many, flowers are the definition of a garden.

"Flower gardening can become a passion; it can also be overwhelming" A local florist who has been in the business for over twenty years says.

"There are millions of plants to choose from and even more ways to combine them." 

A flower garden enhances your outdoor surroundings. It can also provide you with cut flowers and attract pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, to your garden.

Our Customer Sales Representative in Lawn and Garden says, "No matter what your level of experience, you can have blooming beauty in your life. However, for your flowers to do best, it helps to understand a few basics about how flowers work and what they need." 

• Good soil -- not too sandy, not too sticky, with enough organic matter to make it drain well and be inviting to plant roots -- is essential for successful flower gardening, but most of us don't have the patience for that.
• Buy the plants or seeds then plant according to their directions. Smaller plants go in the front of the bed. Most plants are planted at the same depth they were growing. Firm the soil around them. Remember when placing plants that they will grow, so start with extra space and read the labels carefully to see how much space to leave them.
• Water thoroughly -- like a good waiter, a good gardener will check whether water is required before watering. How much you water will depend upon the needs of your plants, the weather and exposure, and how much rain your yard gets.

Start small. Enthusiasm for gardening is great, remember you do not need a green thumb to grow a beautiful, healthy and eco-friendly flowerbed. Our advice is to start with a small flower bed, say 25 square feet, which is room for around 20 to 30 plants with perhaps three types of annuals and one or two perennials. You can always increase your plantings as your experience grows.

Variety of Flower seeds

If even a 25 square foot plot seems like too much, make a small border or do your first flower gardening in a container. Two or three plants sharing a fancy container can look stunning and give you a sample of what's to come.

Shopping for seeds at Rayneau you will discover an eclectic variety of flowers and because they bloom at different times this will keep your flower garden a blooming beauty year round.

If you do not have many flowers in bloom by early March or later July, drive around your area and see what is blooming. Go out and buy a few of these and plant them. After doing this a couple of times, you will have flowers almost all year round.

Stan Evans of CIE Ltd could not have put it better when on our Facebook page he said, “Guys, quit giving flower shops your money and invest in some lovely flower seeds. Create your own garden, make your own bouquet. Be creative. You will be the envy of all your neighbors. Come get your seeds at —  Rayneau Construction & Industrial Products "

45 Days to Christmas - Give a Gift From Rayneau

People cannot resist their excitement during the Christmas season, it is a time for family, indulgence and holiday fun. It is a festival of love and a celebration of selflessness. People take great pride in giving gifts to their loved ones to show their care and love. For us at Rayneau, the festivities begin in November. The excitement and enthusiasm of our Customer Sales Representatives and customers is palpable. From the time you come through the doors, you will see the spirit of Christmas is alive! The main aisles is decked beautifully, sweet Christmas music fills the aisles and the store is beaming with gifts galore! 

Gift giving is a two-way street, in that giver and receiver experience the shared enjoyment of the exchange. Personally, gift giving supplies me with an armload of self-gratification. 

Gift giving is just one of the many ways you can show a person how you feel. You're not only giving just love but also gratitude and appreciation. I use it as a way to let someone know that I am thinking about them. 

The smallest, out of the ordinary, unexpected gift, if presented with a smile, will yield the biggest reactions. Gift giving is both a benefit and a help. 

To give is the same with sharing. And to share is a relaxing act. Not only does it make a bond grow deeper, but it also gives a person the feeling of being kind and happy - because for most people, to see someone happy multiplies their joy. The joy brings the feeling of goodness to the giver. 

If you love someone, you want to make sure you give them something they would really enjoy. Ideally, you want to see that look of joyous surprise when they open the gift and even before they say a word, you know it was perfect. But that doesn't always work. It’s sad, really. You work so hard to find just the right gift, and then it doesn't fit …or it isn't the right colour … or it was broken in the box … or they already had one … or the design doesn't match what they already have … worst of all, it wasn't what they really wanted.

Main Aisle Christmas Decor

That’s the worst — to give someone a gift they don’t really want. Nothing makes you feel worse. They unwrap the gift and then there is a short pause — just a microsecond — but in that moment you already know the truth. “Why, it’s beautiful,” they say. But you can see the look in their eyes. You put on a brave front and try again. “Do you really like it?” “Like it? I love it.” But you aren't fooled. It’s not what they wanted. And drop by drop all the joy drains out of Christmas

Then it came to my mind this week as I thought about the question—if I were going to give someone a gift for Christmas, what would I give him that he would appreciate? The holidays are upon us, which means it's time to get cracking and find some great sentimental gifts for our valued friends and acquaintances.

You know that well decorated food hamper? Or that old aged bottle of whiskey? If you want to be the one who avoid sending those cliched goodies, look no further! At Rayneau we have some better gift ideas for you this year.
