Gifts for Him

Gifts for Him

by: Rick Chapo

I?ll assume ?him? doesn?t refer to me, but still help you out with some ideas for gifts for him. These gifts for him run from the practical to outrageous, but all make good gifts.

Gifts for Him

And here we go?

1. Brother MPrint Bluetooth Mobile Printer ? A practical gadget, this mobile printer lets him print wherever he is from his Palm or PDA device. The printer is wireless and about a half inch thick and five or so inches long. This mobile printer will set you back $380, but look for rebates and specials.

2. John Cleese ? Wine for the Confused DVD ? A humorous take from the Monty Python veteran. Cleese takes you on an epic study of the finer and?less finer points of wine. Cleese covers how to pick, what they are, how they are grown and so on. A DVD that will teach you something and make you laugh a bit. Expect to pay $15 or so at most retailers.

3. Arcade Games ? Remember when you used...

Gifts for Men

by: Rick Chapo

Here come the holidays and you need to find gifts for men, be they family or friends. Don?t worry, I?ve already blown hours snooping around on the Internet to find the gifts.

Gifts for Men

First things first. No sweaters. Not this year! Instead, give some thought to these gifts for men.

1. Orange County Choppers ? The hit television show has spawned a revival of the real man image. If you haven?t seen the show, the Teutul family builds choppers and more or less argue with each other. From a 9-ll memorial chopper for the New York Fire Department to specialized themes, men love this show. You can buy a chopper for $50,000 or so, but should probably stick to hats, shirts and the like for $20 on up.

2. The Sopranos 5th Season on DVD ? Perhaps you?ve heard of the show? Apparently they are going to make new episodes, but it may be a few years before we see any of them. To tide the man in your life over,...

To get your ideas flowing, here are some gifts you can get for the dog lover: of course, if you can take some pictures of their dog in advance, many of the following ideas will be even more special.

-a T-shirt/sweatshirt that says ?My Dog Loves Me? - they?ll be proud to wear it.

-a picture of their dog framed in a paw picture frame - there is no better way to let them know you love them: every time they walk past this picture, they?ll be reminded of your kind gesture, and that you took the time to give them something special.

-a collectible figurine featuring their dog breed - this will become part of the room...
