Male Gift Ideas
The male is an interesting creature. When brainstorming the best male gift ideas, consider that these most simple of creatures are often delighted by objects that are either: Or... With that in mind, here are the gifts he really wants:
Note: If the gift is available on Amazon, I'll list it to the right. I like Amazon because they are easy, trusted, and usually 10% - 20% cheaper than anywhere else.
GPS - (High Tech, Useful)
Men hate asking for directions. This is well known. But, they still have a tendency to get oh so very lost. A GPS unit is the perfect solution. He'll like it because it's cool as hell. You'll like it because you'll get where you're supposed to go. I have this Tom Tom model and love it. Though Garmin is probably the best of breed when it comes to GPS, Tom Tom is pretty awesome, and a lot cheaper.
Grappling Hook - (Stupid, Dangerous)
Fact: Every man has wanted a grappling hook since he was a boy. It's the gift he will least expect, yet will make him so unbelievably happy. It's the type of thing you can't buy for yourself, but you still really want. We don't know why all men want to be ninjas. I sure hope Science is looking into it.
Solar Powered Something - (High Tech, Useful)
If you're looking for some male gift ideas for a tree hugging, earth loving, Captain Planet watcher, chances are he wants something solar powered. To the right are some awesome powered flood lights that require no additional electricity. But, some other possibilities include solar powered: Backpacks Boats Flashlights Radios... Check out this Sweet Solar Powered Stuff , and get back to me.
Bobble Head of Himself - (Stupid)
 A company named, and i quote, Whoopass Enterprises, makes personalized bobble heads like this beauty over here to the right >> You e-mail them a photograph, then, a couple weeks later, they send you a one-of-a-kind bobble head. Great gift, or greatest gift? You be the judge.
Beer. Lots of Beer - (Useful, Dangerous?)
Give the gift that keeps on giving, and giving, and giving, until he is passed out in the front lawn. A wise man once said, "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. But, teach a man to fish, and he'll probably just be upset you didn't teach him how to brew beer instead." This kit provides everything he'll need to brew 6 gallons of great beer. Then he can buy ingredients for more batches online or at the local home brew store. He's gonna love you.
A Knife - (Useful, Dangerous)
Every man needs a good knife. If your guy doesn't have a quality knife, you need to get him one right this minute. As a man, i have a primordial obligation to tell you my opinion on knife brands. It's simple enough. Either get him a Swiss Army , or a Leatherman . Those are the best, and they'll last a life time.
