A quick search online will get you infinite lists of cool tech gifts for guys… Handy, state-of-the-art gadget gifts for men that —on the computer screen, at least— appear to be sure-fire fixes to any “perfect present” debacles you may wrestle with for a special occasion.
There are your classic go-to gadgets, the ones that are a safe-bet at the top of nearly every wish list: smartphones, tablets, and laptops. In fact, these days it’s tough to find a fella who doesn’t use all three!
Then there are the unique men’s gifts that double as cool accessories to make whatever hobby he gravitates toward even better. What runner wouldn’t love a GPS-enabled pedometer? Or how about an adaptor that allows the musician to hook an instrument up to his smartphone? And tripod or lens camera attachments for the aspiring photographer. The list goes on and on.
And, of course, what would the world be like without goofy gadget gifts for men? You know what we’re talking about — the ones aimed more at exponentially increasing the rate of raise eyebrows, belly laughs, and water cooler office gossip, as opposed to the typical goal of ‘convenience.’ A robotic gutter cleaner? Oreo-cookie-shaped, USB-powered coffee mug warmers? Ahhh yes. Those.
As irreplaceable as these finds may seem in the moment, we all know where they end up, eventually. Some sooner than others.
But regardless of their fate or lifespan, there’s no denying that gadgets truly do make great gifts for men.
And it sure is tough to put a price tag on the way any guy’s face lights up when he unwraps a gizmo he’s had his eye on.
We’re willing to be, though, that there are some solid gifts for guys out there that will have the same ‘opening the perfect present’ effect — but actually last him an entire lifetime.
Let’s check ‘em out, shall we?
Here are the 5 coolest gadget gifts for men you can easily give any guy!
…PLUS a few unrivaled suggestions for “experience gifts” that may possibly (undoubtedly, definitely) last
a little longer, thanks to the eternal memories they’re guaranteed to create.
1) Gadget-gift: The Measy U2C Mini PC – Essentially, it’s a computer in a memory stick. (Woah.) It comes with full access to the Google Play store, plus a microphone and a webcam for video chat. Simply hook it up to any monitor or TV, and BAM! Your gift for him is ready to rock-n-roll!
Alternative Experience: Classic Convertible Tour – Forget ‘facetime-ing’ with relatives. Get a gift for him that treats him to real face time with the folks he loves… like cruising the streets of the Big Apple in a classic Chevy convertible, seated beside family members or friends?
2) Gadget-Gift: The Renegade RSS Backpack – That’s right, it’s a backpack specifically designed for carting around every, single electronic device he own — all at once! So we’re gonna go out on a limb here and say this may be the perfect gadget gift for men who can’t live a day without their tech toys.
Alternative Experience: Backpack Yosemite’s Ten Lakes – If you’re going to lug a jam-packed backpack around, why not do just that in one of America’s most stunning National Parks? (Bonus: But you may still want to snag that Renegade RSS for him, so that he can weight train a bit, before he hits the real trails.)
3) Gadget-Gift: Logitech Harmony 650 Remote Control – Simply put, this amazing gift for guys is “one remote to rule them all”! The Harmony is a universal remote that can control up to five devices, while also remembering his favorite TV channels. And it comes with a sharp, sleek display screen that makes it look even more impressive. Is there such a thing as “too cool and convenient”? Nahhhhh…
Alternative Experience: Military Flight Simulator – Like the remote, this brilliant experience gift essentially lets him tell a giant TV what to do. But in a much cooler way. Because he will feel exactly like he’s flying a fighter jet in combat while he’s giving it orders! That “favorites” competition will be neck-and-neck for that little LED screen on the Harmony once he gives this incredible gadget gift for men a good run.
4) Gadget-Gift: Sony Xperia Z Smartphone – What good is a list of gadget gifts for men without at least one smartphone on it? And this isn’t just any ol’ smartphone. This one is water-resistant, which means the next time he takes a powerful, impromptu plunge into the swimming pool — no follow-up with a bowl of rice is necessary! He can just towel this bad boy off, and get right back to uploading the epic video of said cannonball to his Facebook page.
Alternative Experience: Dive With Great White Sharks – When it comes to cool gifts for guys, this one takes the cake (or is it the coral?). Regardless, it’s for obvious reasons. And here’s an added bonus: after this mind-blowing gig with Great Whites, his Xperia phone will be waiting in his wetsuit for him — so he can easily call someone with tall tales of the deep blue yonder!
5) Gadget-Gift: Griffin’s PowerDock 5 – Looking to buy gadget gifts for guys who are Apple-brand lovers down to the core? (Pun intended.) This five-port docking station charges every single weapon in an arsenal at the same time. Surely that deserves a “Boom! Goes the dynamite!” shout out.
Alternative Experience: Tall Ship Sailing – Speaking of docking stations… (Get it? We couldn’t resist.) Is there anything more impressive than dining on a majestic sailing vessel in the waters off New England? Gadget gifts for men by Apple may come pretty darn close. But what better way to test that theory than experience gifts for men like this one? So sail away, then let him use those Apple amenities for plenty of photos, videos, editing, and social media sharing of his grand adventure on the high seas!
