Gadgets for Guys

By David Lion Rattiner

Looking to get the guy in your life a gift? Read on.

The Nintendo Wii: Quite possibly the ultimate guys' gift because it offers such complex gaming for grown-ups as well as kids. The Wii makes a great guy gift. And if you are trying to get your guy to lose some pounds, it also will get him off the couch!

The Apple iPhone: Every guy goes bananas for the iPhone and luckily, it really isn't that big of a commitment financially for what you get.

The Apple iPod Touch: Everything you want from an iPhone without the phone. Keeping your cell phone separate from your iPod allows you to really pay attention to the features this gadget offers.

Big Mouth Billy Bass: You remember this talking gadget. It is an oldie but goodie and all men absolutely love this thing!

The Tom Tom One: No guy likes to ask for directions, so get your man a GPS system. For about 100 bucks, you can pick up the Tom Tom One, a portable GPS device that you can stick right in your car. Never get into an argument about directions again! Now just argue about how to use it.

Gift Certificate to a Fishing Shop: You will be the greatest human being on the planet if you get your man a gift certificate to his favorite fishing store. Try Paulie's in Montauk or any other shop that he frequents.

Night Vision Goggles: For some reason, every man wants these. The best are built by Flir Systems, the nation's top military contractor for night vision.

Video Wristwatch: Put your man's watch in action with a new video wristwatch that contains two gigabytes of flash memory. For the geeky man, go to www.thinkgeek.com and check out one of their video watches. It's a very cool gadget.

Leatherman Tools: Any tool from Leatherman is a great gift, but the ultimate is Leatherman's handy Skeletool CX that offers seven tools in one with a low volume design that won't weigh him down. It's an awesome gift for any handyman.

Black And Decker Drill Set: Every guy loves a new power tool gadget, and Black and Decker is the way to go for a great gift idea. Black and Decker's new cordless and corded drills make for excellent gadget gifts, and might also be good for fixing a few things around the house.

Beverage Insulators: The ultimate gift for a football fan is a beverage insulator wrapped up with his favorite beer. You can get custom team logos placed on a beverage insulator by going to endzonegifts.com.

Virtual Portable IMAX Theater Experience: These glasses look like something out of Star Trek and they act like it too. Hook up your Vuzix iWear AV310 Widescreen Video Glasses to your iPod and watch a movie as if you are in an IMAX theater while sitting down in a chair. A great gift idea for a guy who travels by airplane a lot.
