7 Gifts for a Guy
Seeing how it’s the holiday season and I’m sure that people are probably still looking for gifts to get people. So in order to help everyone out, I’m gonna write a gift guide for guys and one for girls. So without further ado, here are 7 gifts that you can get for a guy. No guarantees that these are affordable gifts, but if you had the money, these would be great gifts.
1. Big Screen TV – What better gift than a nice new LCD or Plasma! Prices for tv’s have dropped pretty significantly to where you can now get a good sized tv for around $1000. LCD’s and Plasmas each have their pro’s and cons, but in the end, it’s still a big screen tv. High-def is also a must for watching tv as it looks 100 times better in high-def!
2. Xbox 360/Wii – I could split these up into separate gift ideas, but since their both video game consoles, I just combined them into one. You can also add the PS3 in there as well, but I think right now the 360 and the Wii are the two more popular combinations. Also, if you go the 360 or PS3 route, having the big screen tv makes gaming all the better looking. I don’t think you can really ever go wrong with video games for guys anyways. 
3. MP3 Player – I didn’t specify the iPod since I don’t really hold any fondness of Apple products, but MP3 players can do a lot nowadays as you can usually watch videos on them as well. Whether it’s an iPod or another MP3 player, it’s nice to be able to have the portability to listen to music wherever you go. Generally, these can be had for relatively cheap too.
4. GPS Device – While GPS devices have made people dumber in not knowing how to read a map, they are definitely a great tool when you’re travelling around. Having the ability to not get lost, and to know where you are and where to go is always very helpful.
5. Cell Phones – Cell phones could’ve been combined with the MP3 player line, but I’ll give it it’s own spot. I personally don’t really have a high tech cell phone, mainly since I wasn’t able to till recently have a camera on the phone. However, cell phones have become more than just a simple phone. You can listen to music, surf the internet/check e-mail, keep your schedule, or even watch a video. The iPhone is one example of a cell phone, but there are tons more out there to choose from.
6. Laptop or Desktop Computer – I’m sure the more popular gift might be a laptop since it’s portable and it’s easier to show off than a huge desktop, but desktops are still cheaper and in general more powerful for a similar price. Even if they already have one, you can never have enough computers, especially with technology changing so quickly.
7. A Camera – I probably have a greater affinity for cameras since I enjoy taking pictures so much, but having a camera on hand is always a good thing. Being able to capture the moment to remember or show others is priceless. While we get old and may forget what happens, if we have a camera, we’ll at least be able to have something to remember by looking at those pictures. Small and portable cameras are always good, but getting a dSLR allows for more possibilities.
These are just a few ideas for gifts that someone can get a guy. Definitely not the cheapest of things to get, and they all deal with electronics. I guess a guy can never have enough toys right?
