Well, this Christmas, here is the ultimate gift guide for the man (or boy) of your life. Through an SMS survey of 100 guys, here are the top 10 (at random) must-give presents for males. This time, in the spirit of giving, we should give men what they really want.
You can start off with a sure winner–any Nokia cellular phone. Yup, it has to be Nokia according to guys, preferably the 7650, 7210 or any new model.
Give him that pair of white rubber shoes he’s been wanting to pair with his cut-off jeans. Or buy him that psychedelic shirt he’s been drooling over or that hunting knife he’ll probably never use. What heck if these make him happy! It’s the holidays and besides, you have the whole year to buy him clothes, accessories and the other dog that you really want anyway.
Have yourselves a fabulous Christmas!
• Digital camcorder – The latest from Sony is the Micro MB digital camcorder. It’s the best in its class. Light and compact, it’s a great way to capture those football games with the boys or his kids’ birthdays.
• Shirts – Guys can never have enough of shirts, obviously. Visit Defect for cool, funky and affordable shirts.
• Watch – The ultimate male accessory (next to a gorgeous babe and a Porsche of course). This season, spend a little more and grab the newest one from Baume & Mercier-Hampton, available at Lucerne. Or buy the guys’ all-time favorite, Swatch.
• Ties – If it were up to guys, they’d get a funky tie or something really different, though tame enough to wear in the office. So I would suggest running to the Paul Smith boutique for classy yet quirky designs. The ties there will surely remind him of you every time he receives a compliment for wearing them.
• Rubber shoes – They’re great for sports and they’re a guy’s ‘fun and function’ accessories. Get him a pair of Nike, Adidas or Vans this season, available at Royal Sporting House. Get him inspired for the extra pounds he’ll be putting on this holiday season.
• Magazine subscription – OK, girls, this is entirely your decision. You can choose from cars, sports, to fashion or okay, even male magazines. Get your magazine subscription from your nearest Bufini stalls.
• Pens – Believe it or not guys actually want these! With all the gadgets and gizmos around, the classic pen is still used for signing important documents or writing letters and sending it to–you know whom. Buy one with an interesting design like these Sensa By Willat pens, available at Rustan’s.
• Laptop – The MAC Titanium G4 is the one! Perfect for downloading and editing those images from your digital camcorder.
• Socks – Go figure! Grab more from Paul Smith boutique.
