Best Christmas Gifts for Guys


By William Cain

Just imagine last Christmas when your family was gathered around and the dreaded question was brought up,"What are we going to get for dad this year for Christmas?" The ever-plaguing dilemma that arises every year and goes unanswered until December 24th when that last 2-size-too-small polo or the paisley tie and matching socks gets purchased. I know, I've been there and made those last minute shopping trips. Is this what the ruler of the "man cave" has been reduced to? Are there actually gifts for dad that bring a sparkle to his eye and a grin like a little schoolboy? Read below for the best christmas gifts for dad.

Cornhole Set-That's right cornhole. If you are unfamiliar with this, let's just say it is the ultimate beer drinking past time. There are 2 boards about 25 feet apart with a 6" hole cut in the middle. 2 teams-of-2 pair off and throw bean bags filled with...you guessed it, corn, at the opposite board trying to throw the bag in. First team to 21 wins. This is the perfect beer drinking "sport". It actually has gained popularity in the last year or two and you would be hard pressed not to find 100 people playing this at the nearest football tailgating event. You can get logo's put on them of his favorite team, designs, even a picure of a beer. This is my top pick for the best christmas gift for dad this year. I have a set and I absolutely love them. It's actually fun for the whole family, if he let's you all play.

Power Tools-Now we have to be careful when we talk about tools. Getting dad a ratchet set is almost borderline of getting him a tie. Power tools make loud noise and are destructive. If you are totally not sure about this, ask a reliable friend what power tools he doesn't have already or you may have to actually pay attention to one of his conversations and see what he says. In my opinion most guys like cordless, at least 18V or bigger and made by a popular brand like Dewault or Milwaukee. A really good combo pack where the batteries are interchangable is almost perfect. YOu usually get 4 or 5 different tools with that and a case. Another awesome best christmas gift for dad.

GPS (Global Positioning System)-We are all aware that most dads are "mr. direction" but remember, dads are guys. Nothing could be better than to have a brand new electronic gizmo to play with that he can program to have some sexy sounding woman give him direcitons. Plus it will give the misses peace of mind knowing that he will actually know where he is going.

Laptop-How powerful will he feel kicked back in the lazy boy, watching one game, checking the score of others at the same time without ever leaving his seat or changing the channel. Wow. There are so many varieties now and with today's technology, they are fairly inexpensive for what you can do with them. Even now they have the "min" laptops that are just as powerful as the real thing but can be acquired for less than $300 and come in all types of colors and designs. Throw in a wireless router and once again, dad's shopping is done.

Tattoo-Nothing you can give a man will say "I love you" anymore than giving him a tattoo. If he doesn't have it yet and really wants one, that just means that you probably don't want him to have it. So to save yourself the trouble of travelling to every tattoo shop in town, buy him a tattoo collection that you both can look at while at home. This way you have some say in it! After you pick it out together, go with him and watch him suffer. Read on and you'll know exactly where to get this at.
