Top 5 Gadgets for Males This Christmas

Top 5 Gifts for Males this Christmas

1. Harmony 1000 Remote

This remote will put the 7 remotes you currently have on your coffee table in a drawer somewhere. It controls up to 15 devices with a 3.5” color LCD Touch screen. It can also use Remote Frequency to deliver powerful, complete control of your home-entertainment system, including components hidden behind cabinets. Programming is done through the computer; all you need are the model numbers of your components.

2. The Microsoft XBOX 360 ChatPad

This device retails for less than $30 and is one of the most seamless product add-ons I have ever used. Once you snap this keyboard onto your controller you would never think it was an add-on. The backlit keyboard works great and makes inviting and chatting to friends a snap. This gadget is highly recommended if your male gift-getter has an Xbox360.


3. A new cell phone: The iPhone or LG Voyager


Everybody loves a new cell phone. So how about one of these hot new phones for Christmas? If you have service with Cingular then look into consolidating a few of his gadgets like his camera, phone, and mp3 player into one with the iPhone. (Pictured on the right) Verizon’s answer to the iPhone is the new LG Voyager (pictured left)—a touch screen front that flips open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard.



4. TiVo Subscription








If he enjoys certain shows, but has to work or take you out to dinner when they are on then a TiVo subscription is a great present. You can get the box from $100 for a standard Dual Tuner unit or $300 for a High Definition Tivo. There is a monthly service fee, but they have been reduced for new customers until February. You can even prepay for a year and save some money. All he has to do is tell the TiVo what shows he wants it to record and the TiVo will actually record similar shows that he may enjoy as suggestions. Shows may also be transferred to a laptop so that he can watch them on business trips.

5.The Art of Shaving: Perfect Shave Kit
Since he has to shave everyday why not turn his morning routine into an easier more enjoyable experience? The Art of Shaving is a business in New York where straight razor shaves are given all day long. They have assembled their products on their website for singular purchases, but have combined what they call “The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave” into this one kit. It comes with a pre-shave oil, shaving cream, a badger hair brush, and after shave lotion. All he needs is the razor. They have a full kit and a sample kit for $40… need an extra little gift? Try the sample kit. I’ve used it and it truly is the best shave I have ever had.
