Choosing and buying sweet gifts for boyfriends, gifts for husbands, gifts for dads, or grads, or just trying to come up with gift ideas for any other presents for men, is not a task for the faint of heart!  Presents for him aren’t like the things that we girls would like, there are what they are…men’s gifts.  Manly gifts, things that he likes to show off to his buddies.  Heads up girls…he doesn’t want a cute little stuffed animal or some other sentimental token of your love. Great gifts for boyfriends or any other gift ideas for guys takes some thought.  Fear not, if you are stressing out about good gifts for boyfriends or other men, you are in the right place.  We are here to help.

To get started, here are some things to consider:

First, what is your budget?  Don’t buy something that you can’t afford.  Did you know what you spend makes an impression on him?  Buying something you can’t afford will NOT endure you to him if he is serious about you.  He will think that you are irresponsible and if he’s serious about you, he’ll wonder if he can afford your extravagance down the road if things are to become permanent between the two of you.  Men think like that, you can take my word for it, or consider that money differences are listed as the number one reason for divorce.  On the other hand, if he’s not serious about you, you need to realize that you can’t buy affection. Ask yourself, “How insulting is this to me that I have to buy my way into a relationship?” Step up and say, “If they like me, they like me.”  (source) http://www.drphil.com/articles/article/47

How does he spend his spare time?  You know, when he’s not with you.  Does he have a hobby?  collecting comic books, playing with remote controlled toys or radio controlled aircraft?  Does he like tinkering with engines?  Does he play chess or poker?

What kind of things does he enjoy doing with you?  Movies, working out, going to the beach, travel?

What are his favorite kinds of movies?  Thrillers, action, sci-fi?  Hint: Just check out his movie collection.

If you are considering getting him something for the sporting goods category or perhaps some sort football memorabilia, you need to know:

What sports does he like?  Think in terms of Football, golf, baseball, hockey  Professional or college?

What sports teams does he like?

Who are his favorite players?

Does he have any sporting “collections”?  Giving him something to add to a collection will certainly warm his heart.

What sports does he participate in? Team sports, surfing, skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, tennis, or weightlifting?

Is he into gizmos and gadgets?  Does he like to be the first to have the latest cool new gadgets?

Is he a geek?  Does he like computer related gadgets?  Is he into the latest electronic gadgets?  Gifts for geeks are sure to make him happy.

Is he a “gamer”?  What system does he have?  What kind of games does he like?

Is he a student?  What does he study?

Does he like to read?

What does he do for a living?  Tools of the trade are sweet gift ideas.

Is he a reader?  Books, especially 1st editions make great gift ideas for men.

Is he a hunter or fisherman?

What are his favorite things to eat and/or drink?  If he is into gourmet food, coffee, or has a favorite drink, he’ll be pleased that you remembered what he likes.  If there is something that he drinks, perhaps a “top shelf” bottle would be appropriate.  Remember the old saying, “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”?  Well let me assure you that is very close to the truth.

What kind of music does he like?

Is he into style?  A metro-sexual man?  What size does he wear? Grooming accessories, cologne,

Hands down, the guys loved this one!  In fact, they are raving about it!  Great Birthday gifts for men and women alike, but perfect for the guy that likes gizmos and gadgets, new electronic gadgets, or he just likes cool new gadgets and wants to be among the first to have them.   The Pulse  Livescribe Pen is better than an electronic pen, Further, it beat any other computer pens we looked at.  It would be an awesome gift for the pen collector, and is kind of like having a pen computer if you can imagine that and it’s both Mac and PC compatible.  It comes in both a 1 Gig ($150.00) and a 2 Gig capacity ($199.99) and is comfortable to hold and use.

The pen records everything you write in two ways.  It creates digital copies of everything you write by hand while at the same time recording audio which make it great for note taking whether in the classroom or in the office.  But wait, it gets better than that!  The Livescribe Pen goes one step further and links the two features together, so you can quickly access audio by just tapping parts of your notes. All of this is uploaded to your computer where the Livescribe software saves it and makes your notes fully searchable. If that’s not enough, it offers a calculator, translator, and a paper piano that plays a mini piano you draw on paper.

The reviews have been great for the device and every site we checked had good things to say about it. Below are a few of the comments we found and a video by Chris Brogan demonstrating the device.

• Tim Moynihan, senior editor of PC World magazine, writes: “The pen’s a great choice for students, journalists, and meeting-hoppers since you can link your notes to the audio recording to refresh your memory. And it’s also a calculator, a piano, and a mini-movie theater.” (source) http://www.pcworld.com/article/157252

• Livescribe Senior Product Line Manager Maureen Keating told Mac News “By capturing audio and having that synchronized with their notes, we’re finding that it really gives students a competitive advantage over their peers.” (source) http://www.macnewsworld.com/story/Pen-Computer-Maker-Draws-a-Bead-on-Mac-Users-67867.html

• Chris Brogan says: “It’s changed how I write notes, and has helped me blend my offline writing and my online organization skills. For $150 US, it’s affordable enough to try out…” (source) http://www.chrisbrogan.com/i-love-the-livescribe-pen/
