What to Get Him for Christmas – Our Top 5 List!

I have been trying to solve this dilemma all my life; what do you get him for Christmas? Men are as simple to please as they are hard to figure out. Yet every Christmas the men on my list are the ones that I am scrambling to find a gift for that they’ll love. Whether its my husband, my father in-law or our oldest boys.  Gifts for men are over thought by women, I am sure, none the less, we desperately want to give a wow gift; a gift that doesn’t sit in the box in their man cave until they finally decide to put it in the Goodwill bin.

If you ask my husband he’ll say, “just get me a gadget”! Okay, a girls idea of a gadget verses a boys idea of one are like trying to find the similarities in the moon and Mars.

In my research for the best gifts I found some crazy gifts that I didn’t quite understand like the smart watch and the farting slippers. I also found some interesting items that made me stop and stare at my computer screen; the beer holder hoodie and the toilet coffee mug.

I have sorted through the good, the bad and the “what were they thinking” gifts and and hope that this top 5 list; plus a few honorable mentions will make Christmas Shopping for him a little easier this year. So, if you’re ready to get shopping, let’s get spending!

#5 A New Belgium 2pk Glassware Set: The Glass That Gives Back

This year local brewery, New Belgium is offering a specially boxed globe glass 2pk and will donate $1 dollar for every pack purchased to one of four Non-Profits; you decide where the donation goes. Top this off with a pack of 1554 or Sunshine Wheat and your guy will be a happy camper for sure.

#4 Bushnell Image View Binoculars With Digital Camera

What a great gift for the hunter in the family. These binoculars are affordable and give him a chance to not only see what he’s looking for, but he can record the images and action as well. He will surely have fun with this special gift.

#3 Dashboard Pole Dancer… Just Kidding! Grill Alert Talking Meat Thermometer

How cool is this for the avid griller? How many times has he turned his back for a minute and over cooked the steaks? More times than he’d like to admit, I’m sure. Now with the Grill Alert Talking Meat Thermometer, grilling is full proof! Throw in a pack of his favorite steaks and guess who’s cooking dinner!

#2 Wireless TV Headphones

Talk about a gift for him and her! I can’t tell you how many times I want to go to sleep and he wants to watch the building of the Pyramids or and in depth documentary on black holes. I would have given up bread for a year for wireless tv headphones. But enough about us, HE will LOVE them and will use them often.

#1 Vialta BM-FX Beamer Phone Video Station

I had to take a double look at this item and read as many reviews as I could find. It seems to be a pretty cool device for dad or grandpa, you know, the guy who hasn’t bought into the whole pc era. My father in-law would love to see his great granddaughter running around the house giggling and blowing him kissing, but he doesn’t have a computer. Now in real time he will be able to see her eating her pasta and taking care of her ‘babies’. What a memorable gift would this be?!
