Looking for the perfect guy.....gifts?

Recently I was challenged with listing some "awesome" guy gifts for the coming holiday. So, I have compiled a decent list of what I think are some pretty "awesome" gift ideas for the guy(s) in your life.

Maison Martin Margiela Cheers Ring$135.00
Antiqued brass with"Cheers" engraving on the top and the cut-out on the base is a bottle opener!
Sony Ericsson’s Bluetooth Toys: the HBM-30 and Car-100 Remote Control Car
If you’re still a child at heart, amuse yourself with the number 9 champ, Sony Ericsson’s Bluetooth Toys: the HBM-30 and Car-100 Remote Control Car. The HBM-30 is an MP3 player/hands-free headset. Armed with a text LCD screen, 64 MB memory stick and built-in microphone, it allows you to listen to music and take incoming calls with one single gadget. It also comes with a remote control car that receives commands from the phone’s keyboard, so if boredom suddenly strikes you while you’re conducting business over the phone, a little “playtime” is just within your reach - $300


Snowball Blaster
Be your neighborhood's own arctic Rambo with the Snowball Blaster ($30). The gun launches softball-sized snowballs up to 50 feet, letting you drop skinny kids and the elderly from the comfort of your front porch. Besides the slingshot action, the Blaster has a forming chamber that packs three perfectly shaped snowballs for quick reloads.

Thrustmaster Glow Saber Duo Pack
Despite its pornorific sounding name, the Thrustmaster Glow Saber Duo Pack ($35) is for family friendly, Jedi killing fun. Designed for use with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, these replica Lightsabers hold your Wii remote for gameplay and feature a "Laser effect" lighting system. You get a red and blue saber in each pack, both of which employ 17 LEDs each.


Coach Quilted Nylon Map Bag
Coach has warmed up its most popular man bag. Available in gray or green, the Coach Quilted Nylon Map Bag ($358) has a sporty nylon exterior with leather trim, along with a bunch of pockets and an organizational panel inside. Because luxury man bags are totally recession-proof. Right?

Subscription to Top Gear Magazine
Top Gear is an automobile magazine published by BBC Worldwide, and named after the BBC's Top Gear television show. It was first published in October 1993 and is published monthly at a price of £3.95. This price translates into approx. $187.00 (CDN) for a 13 issue subscription.
The major presenters of the television series - Richard Hammond, James May and Jeremy Clarkson - are regular contributors, along with the series' production staff. Tame racing driver The Stig also regularly features in their car tests, though only communicates his thoughts and feelings through the articles of others.
It is the UK's leading general interest car magazine in sales terms, with over 200,000 issues sold a month (July-December 2007) and has licensed editions all around the world.


Lego Ice Cube Tray
Lego sure knows what guys like…this awesome Lego Ice Cube Tray ($8) is a must have in every man’s fridge!

Wurkin Stiffs Magnetic Collar Stays
Every well-dressed man has his style secrets. The latest secret for keeping a crisp and polished look are the Wurkin Stiffs magnetic collar stays ($17). These polished stainless steel stays come with tiny magnets to not only hold your collar super stiff and in place, but to also make its angle adjustable.
The neodymium magnets are ultra-strong and let you place your collar exactly where you want it, allowing for a formal look or a laid back look depending on placement. The one-size-fits-all collar stays, which come in a great velvet-lined package of six, will make any dress shirt absolutely perfect.

Mighty Muggs
Hasbro is bringing the urban vinyl toy market to the mainstream with the affordable Mighty Muggs ($10-$15). "Made from 100% recycled awesome," these chunky 6-inch tall toys are currently available in Star Wars and Marvel characters. Choose from Chewie, Darth Vader, Han, Luke, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan, Stormtrooper, Darth Maul, Boba Fett, and C-3PO.




Custom Action Figures
Ever wish you could have your very own customized action figure? Well, you can. Custom Action Figures ($425/1st, $40 for each copy) from Hero Builders (http://herobuilders.com/) will make you into a 12" plastic warrior, complete with glasses, clothes, tattoos, weapons, and any other personalization you'd like. Plus, you can get a talking figure for the same price — extra copies of those will run you $50 each. Finally, you can kick Skeletor's ass yourself, using nothing but your plastic fists.


Ray-Ban Folding Wayfarer Sunglasses
Blues Brothers-style cool, in your pocket. The Ray-Ban Folding Wayfarer Sunglasses ($150) offer classic plain-black styling in a foldable, pocketable form for convenient travel. An included hard case keeps the shades protected whilst in your pocket, and Italian craftsmanship means they'll be around for a long time.

iRobot Looj
Tired of cleaning your gutters, or worse yet, dealing with clogged gutters? The iRobot Looj (starting at $100) is like a Roomba for your gutters, using a rotating three-stage auger to sweep out dirt, leaves, and debris. As a bonus, the detachable handle serves as a wireless remote, letting you control the robot while it cleans, leaving you safely (and happily) on the ground.


Stay tuned for more holiday ideas coming soon!
As for the men, I think I am going back to rhinestone key rings, girly jewels and stunning decor - sorry!!!
