Great Gifts for the Men in Your Life  (ARA)
- Finding the perfect gift for the men in your life can be a
challenge. After all, how many neckties or personalized golf
balls does one guy need? Luckily, the Internet brings all types
of exotic gifts right to your computer. Here's a look at some of
the standout gifts we think any man would love to receive.
A remote for your remote - Does your gift recipient have a
reputation for misplacing things? Whether it's his eye glasses,
the remote or the car keys, the Now You Can Find It! Ultra 8
Wireless RF means he will instantly be able to track down these
and other lost items. This universal paging system makes it easy
to instantly locate those items that always seem to "walk away."
Find it at gifts.com.
Never be intimidated by the sommelier - Whether your guy is a
knowledgeable pro or just learning about wine, the Wine Master
will be a hit. This electronic pocket guide, available on
redenvelope.com, was created in partnership with Wine Enthusiast
Magazine to provide instant access to more than 10,000 wine
ratings and reviews. It includes a wine glossary and tasting
terms, complementary food and wine pairings, wine basics for the
novice, best buys, editor's picks and cellar buys. Its compact
size makes it easy to take to the store or restaurant.
Be a man of the world - "Our Write-On Map Mural is great for
political junkies, world travelers and for presentations," says
Ross Silverberg of Hammacher Schlemmer (hammacher.com).
Originally published under the direction of the U.S. Department
of Defense and the CIA, this is the world's largest, accurately
detailed, eight-color wall mural of the world, covering nearly 9
by 13 feet of wall space. Capitals, countries, major cities,
up-to-date political boundaries, time zones, shipping lanes,
nautical miles, ocean depths, elevations and more are all
clearly indicated at a scale of 160 miles to the inch. The
laminated surface makes it possible to write on the map time and
again with a dry-erase marker (one included). "This map is
equally at home in a den, a home office or in the executive
suite," says Silverberg. Printed on heavy 80-pound paper stock,
the mural is 8 separate panels that can be hung as one piece or
individually. Mounting is easy; simple step-by-step instructions
and adhesive for hanging are included.
Put your poker face on - Poker is all the rage these days.
Celebrities play on television; the Authentic Poker Dealer Pack
(also at hammacher.com), let's you play like the pros. The
sturdy aluminum felt-lined case contains 500 metal-weighted
chips (150 white, 150 blue, 100 red, 50 green, and 50 black),
two decks of professional coated playing cards, and marker
buttons for blinds and dealer.
How about a Lamborghini? - Oops, just kidding. After all, how
many people have that in the budget? But if the man in your life
has always wanted an exotic car, give him the next best thing -
let him drive the car of his dreams for a day. Most major cities
have a car rental agency that specializes in expensive cars. For
example, Beverly Hills Rent-a-Car offers a Porsche Boxster for
$189 a day or a Ferrari F355 for a mere $999 for a day. For
muscle car fans, Dream Car Rentals in Las Vegas has a 1968
Camaro SS Convertible for $325 a day.
With a little creativity and some time in front of your
computer, the perfect gift is just a click away.
