How To Choose The Right Gadget For Him

By Oscar Calvete


It is this time of the year again, when you have to choose a gift for him, a gadget perhaps, men love that, but sometimes the selection can be overwhelming and confusing, with thousands of products and websites available, this can become a daunting task, so how do you choose the right present?

Well, most prominent gadget websites will help you with that, by suggesting items according to the either, age of the person, gender, type of character or budget, but then again sometimes too much choice can also make it even more difficult or can narrow it too much to the point that you only have a few items to choose from, which in that case the narrow search doesn't help much, you don't want that either, as you still have to be the one choosing the gift, after all, its a personal thing and no machine can replace that.

Like the singer Jessy Jay said "it's not about the money" and really, it isn't! To put a smile on a man's face is easily done if you stop getting us socks for Christmas! On a serious note just think of men as big kids, kids like toys... so..... big kids like big boys toys. There is a huge variety of gadgets and gifts to suit all budgets, a coffee mug with a funny message can be a great inexpensive gift, but.... is it the right one if that person doesn't drink tea of coffee? It is about the right gift for the right person, not the price of it.

The rule of thumb says that pretty much all electronic gadgets or devices could potentially be right as men love that, as well as big boys toys like remote control cars, boats and some spy gadgets...for the James Bond inside them, we all wanted to be him at one point, well, I know I did!

An up and coming popular choice is, gift vouchers, most websites provide them. You just have to select the amount you want the voucher for, print the email with the code, put it in a envelope and it's done. Or you can just forward the email to the person. Although a bit more impersonal I'll admit, you cannot go wrong with that option, they will feel like a kid in a sweet shop! Its a good solution if you don't know the person well enough or if you have a very busy life style!

And if you don't like gift wrapping and like me you think that gift bags are just a lazy option to look good, some of the best websites offer a gift wrapping service for about $3 or 5. You can even select a different delivery address, so your wrapped present will be delivered directly to the lucky person.

So internet gift shopping?.... Definitely! A wider choice, good companies will give you a comprehensive returns policy, free delivery and delivery within a maximum of one to two days to receive the item.

Did you know that... women between the ages of 25-35 now spend more time online than men in the same age group? There are now on average 39 million people online in the UK, that's 68% of the GB adult population? UK internet users are spending an average of 23 hours a week online? 14.6 million people have accessed the internet whilst at work in the last month?

Happy shopping!
