Are you having problems finding the perfect gift for the man in your life? If you are, here are some gifts that will bring a smile to his face.
Every woman is on the quest to find the perfect gift for her man. Unfortunately, in the arena of gift giving men and women tend to have very different ideas of what the “perfect” gift is. I’ve learned that flowers and chocolates don’t get me very far with my husband, so after weeks of keeping track of his dog-eared magazine pages, web-browsing and phone conversations (all in the name of research – I swear!) I’ve developed a list of gizmos and gadgets that any man would love to receive.
The Koffski Wallet and Shoulder Holster
If your man has deep-seated fantasies of becoming a secret agent, here is something that will make him feel like he’s on top of his spy-game. It looks like a shoulder-holster for firearms, but it’s really a holster for credit cards and keys. The Koffski Wallet and Shoulder Holster combined are roomy enough to carry all of his essentials (wallet, phone and keys) in a new cool way.

The Personal Soundtrack Shirt
We’ve all had moments when we walk out of a movie or concert and wish that we could have a soundtrack for our lives. Gift your guy the gift of sound with this amazing t-shirt. There is a speaker in the center of the T’s graphics that actually works and plays up to 20 programmable sound-bits via a battery-operated remote.

The Krupps Beertender
Men like beer and every man wishes he could keep a keg of his favorite brew on tap. This handy countertop beer dispenser allows you to give him the gift of his own draught experience – without breaking the bank or having to dismantle your kitchen. This handy mini-keg dispenser keeps beer at the correct temperature for optimum taste. The Krupps Beertender is designed to work exclusively with the Heineken DraghtKeg, so if that’s his favorite brew then this is the gadget for him.

The Personalized Grill Grate
If your man enjoys going outside to grill a few steaks, ribs and kabobs during his weekends, give him something awesome to grill on. YM Custom Grates can create a grill with his name, monogram, favorite team or custom design. The great thing is that even if you can’t afford a fancy gas grill, you can still get him a custom grate he’ll love since YM is able to customize grates for round charcoal grills as well!

Custom Skins for His Favorite Electronics
If you have a guy who spends a lot of time playing or working with his electronic devices, consider designing him a custom skin for his favorite gadget. Unique Skins allows you to manipulate a variety of backgrounds, add your own text, and download your photos to create a skin that will make his laptop, cell phone or gaming console distinctively his.

The Airsoft Remote Controlled Battle Tank
The Airsoft Battle Tank is the perfect gift for any man who likes remotes, projectiles and camouflage. While your man sits in the comfort of his patio chair, he can drive this 1/16th scale tank through the yard and shoot plastic Airsoft pellets at anyone trying to take over the neighborhood. Be sure to read up on the features before you buy though so that you can be sure to get one with a rotating turret, multi-directional driving and a multi-frequency remote control so that he can battle with his friends.

The RoboMower RL1000
Men have been waiting for this gadget ever since the first lawn-seed was invented. This amazing contraption is a lawn mower that your man can program to automatically mow the lawn once a week. It remembers the instructions and routinely starts itself up, so he won’t even have to remember to turn it on! It includes an anti-theft device so your neighbors can’t steal it, adjustable cutting blades, a mulching system and it can mow a yard up to a 1 acre in size. The really great thing is, this mower has sensors on the bumpers so it won’t escape your yard or damage your shrubs (unlike your man).

Noise Canceling Headphones
I don’t know if your guy is anything like my husband, but I know that all he wants is some piece and quiet. It’s not that men don’t love us women, but sometimes we are just too noisy at the end of a long day. Maybe your guy just wants to sit back and read a book without the distractions of boisterous kids and the sound of you chattering away to your mother on the phone. As simple as a little quiet may seem, it is something that many men (and women) are lacking. These headphones don’t just make music that only the listener can hear, they also control the amount of ambient noise that actually reaches his ears, allowing him to sit back and enjoy the quiet whenever he needs it.

Wallet-sized Digital Photo Album
If your guy is one who loves to show off photos of his new gadgets, family and recent accomplishments to all of his friends then replace the plastic fold-out photo-holder in his wallet with this pocket-sized digital album. The 1GB flash memory hidden within the leather cover holds up to 400 photos, MP3 and WMA files so he can look through photos and keep his favorite tunes with him wherever he goes.

And coming soon to a dealer near you… The Persu Hybrid
Formerly known as the Venture One, the Persu Hybrid is the one Electric Hybrid that you will be able to convince your man to drive. It looks cool, goes 0 to 60 MPH in approximately 6 seconds, and is a beautiful vehicle to look at. Unfortunately, the Persu is not available for sale yet, but is predicted to be available to the masses sometime later this year. Although a price has not yet been set for this vehicle, the 75 MPG fuel economy will automatically make this a sound and resource-minded purchase. Plus, all of his friends will be really jealous.

Regardless of what kind of gift you are looking to give the man in your life, as long as you keep his interests in mind instead of your own, you will be on the right track. Luckily for us, men are pretty easy to figure out and as long as you aren’t afraid to think outside the “Candy, Card and Coffee Mug” box you will be able to surprise him with a gift that he will love. Give him something original and from the heart and you will create a memory that he will keep for a lifetime.

Another great article. Forget the man, I want a set of those noise canceling headphones for myself. If I get the RoboMower, what’s he going to do with all his free time?

I am a man and thought about each idea you presented. I personally like the idea of the self mowing mower and maybe the remote controlled tank.
