Long praised for their abilities to construct simple birdhouses out of real birds, tools are also handy for decorating empty tool sheds and playing mountain-lion dentist. Get your hands on some useful tools with today's deal: for $10, you get $20 worth of hardware and home goods from Sunset Ridge Home and Hardware in Alamo Heights. This Groupon is valid for in-store purchases only.

Infusing the friendly service and pragmatism of a neighborhood hardware store with the eclectic selection of a gift boutique, Sunset Ridge boasts a mammoth range of outdoor living products, hardware items, kitchen wares, and home-keeping goods to bedeck the deck and festoon the platoon. Gourmavens can stock their scant pantries and suspiciously tidy junk drawers with popular OXO goods or sturdy Emile Henry ceramic cookware, bakeware, and Victorian shapewear. Home fragrances, such as a slew of Trapp votive candles ($3.49), mask the scents of gorillas in your midst, whereas burlier goods arrive in the form of Tomboy Tools. Legendary flame-wielders can lick their lips over John Henry barbecue seasonings and handy grill supplies such as smoking wood chips ($6.99), and amateur pigment flingers can stock up on a spectrum of Benjamin Moore paints for their Jackson Pollock–inspired chicken coops.
