Mens Gift Guide

It's that time of year again and we always ask ourselves what am I going to get for my husband,boyfriend,brother and so on. Basically the hard to please guys in our life, well I have invited Simon from one of my favorite stores Boys To Men Gifts to help all of us ladies out there who has this same problem.....



Everyone knows that women love to shop, after all there are so many lovely things to buy, like shoes bags and things for the home. Any of the above also make great gifts for other women, so finding them things to buy is never an issue. But what about buying gifts for guys? This problem is the proverbial thorn in the side of even the most ardent shopper. It was this problem that led us to start Boys To Men Gifts.

You may have noticed that guys are not often excited by a cute pair of shoes or an article of clothing. Below are a few pointers that will help you understand what kind of stuff guys really like to receive as gifts based on a few personality types.


Gadgets:

Guys love gadgets and want to know how stuff works, they love to have the right tool for the job and when they get a new “toy” it will keep them busy for hours. A good example would be our best selling gadget, the Solio Solar Charger which uses the sun’s power to charge a cell phone ipod or virtually any electronic device.


Quality Gifts:

Some older Men are more interested in quality than anything else, which is why you see so many older men driving expensive cars. I guess when you get to a certain age you appreciate the finer things in life. We have a range of executive gifts, and one of our most popular is Bag Kaku a wooden briefcase / laptop bag which is handmade from natural cedar in Japan.


Fun Gifts:

If something is fun he will keep coming back to it again and again. We have found some really fun gifts like the Shocking Roulette which is a party game where four people put their fingers in the finger slots. You start the lights that spin like a wheel. Wherever the Light stops that person gets a shock.


Corporate Gifts:

We sell lots of high quality business type gifts like business card cases, but what has surprised us is that many corporations are buying their staff fun gifts like the Marshmallow Shooter which shoots marshmallows 30 feet, or the Zero Blaster which shoots smoke rings.

I think the main thing to remember when buying a holiday gift is that Men are really boys at heart. If it’s fun, cool, good quality and a gadget, you are on to a winner.

Menstraul Cup

Your probably thinking why am I blogging something that looks like a babies teat and this has nothing to do with girly gifts well read on...........p.s I wont be rushing out to buy this but I thought I would share this with you all.



This menstrual cup, made from durable medical-grade silicone, is a comfortable, secure alternative to disposable menstrual products.

This menstrual cup is worn internally during the menstrual cycle and is made from durable medical grade silicone, which is 100% hypoallergenic and suitable for women with latex allergies (nitrosomine and latex free).

Very sanitary, comfortable, reliable and convenient, the cup holds one full ounce (30 ml). Since the entire cycle is an average of 3-4 ounces (90-120 ml), most women find that the cup is not even half full after 12 hours.

The vagina is continually self-cleansing, washing away dead cells and bacteria. Tampons absorb the natural fluids that we need to keep the vagina clean and moist. The cup is non-absorbent and simply collects the menstrual flow, leaving the natural moisture level in the vagina
undisturbed.

AncesTree



So xool (cool).......


AncesTree is a connection system to build a tree of your ancestors. Each element represents a person with the first one being yourself. By connecting new elements representing the persons parents you build your own family tree.

Each element contains a little box. A photograph forms the lid of the box which can hold little objects that are unique for that person. Think of notes, a little book, a ring or piece of hair.

At all times the AncesTree can be expanded by adding new elements or items.
