Gift Ideas for Men
Posted in for Men, Someone Special on November 7th, 2005According to AskMen.com, the top 20 gadgets that men really want fall into a handful of categories including electronics, jewelry, tools and believe it or not kitchen products. Some of the great gift items on their top 20 list include:
Cordless Drill Kit: If the guy you need to buy for is a real do-it-yourself fanatic or if he just loves tools, then he’ll definitely want one of these easy-to-use devices. Most kits include a nice carrying case and battery charger. Buy one online or at your local Lowe’s or Home Depot store. They sell for around one hundred and fifty dollars.
Watch: No man’s wardrobe is complete without a tasteful watch that complements his attire. For a lavish gift, look for a Rolex or other Swiss manufactured watch. If your budget is on a diet, try a sporty watch that can be worn with jeans, yet sophisticated enough to be worn with a suit. You might consider having the watch engraved for a personal touch. Prices for watches vary depending on brand, style and feature set.
Bar Blender: Whether they want to whip up a power smoothie in the morning or throw drinks together for a party in the evening, a bar blender is a practical gift for the man who has everything. Opt for one that is made of commercial-style stainless steel, which will help keep drinks cooler for a longer period of time. You can purchase a top quality blender for sixty dollars.
Personal Digital Assistant: For quite a few years, the Portable Digital Assistant (PDA) had been a valuable but expensive purchase. Today, prices are going down and availability is going up making this a possible gift idea for virtually any budget. This remarkable gadget will work hard to keep your recipient organized and in control. They’ll never miss another appointment, meeting or special event again! Visit a site like C/NET or Consumer Reports to help you choose the right model. Expect to pay anywhere from sixty dollars to six hundred dollars for top of the line models.
Air Purifier: According to the EPA, the air inside a home may be up to 5 times more polluted than the air outside. Air purifiers are designed to remove allergy and asthma causing particulates, microorganisms, toxic mold spores, viruses, odors and chemicals from the air to create a healthy indoor environment. Give the gift of fresher, safer air and help someone you care about breathe easier. Portable units cost around one hundred dollars, while larger units cost between three and five hundred dollars.
Most men would absolutely love to receive any one of the gifts listed above. But alas, men also like their toys, whether it’s a powerful stereo system or a wide screen plasma TV. So, go with what ever your wallet and your ears can handle. And happy shopping!
