Before we know it Christmas will be here once more. Even though it falls on the same date every month, I still feel like it creeps up on me. I'm THAT shopper out on Christmas Eve still trying to figure out what would be the best gift for so-and-so. This year I thought I'd get a head start on my Christmas shopping and do a little research. Plus, a little online shopping never hurt anyone (shh...!)

Bose Around-Ear Headphones $140

Widget_cojonrjj9frysmihomfkw6

Eff ear buds! There’s nothing macho (or comfortable for that matter) about ear buds! Give the man in your life something he’ll enjoy. They’re lightweight, which is a plus! Their ergonomic design keeps them comfortable for extended periods of time.

Vers Wood iPod Speaker Dock $150

This cherry wood iPod dock seems made for any man, whether he be a boyfriend, friend, dad or grandpa. It’s not too cutesy, yet not completely ugly either.

Retro Web Cam $35

Widget_abdladh_zm2yx0f2xgneji

This is a gift I’d consider stealing from the recipient. The Retrocam is a 1.3 megapixel webcam with built-in microphone. Inspired by vintage cameras, the Retrocam also comes with a tripod! Nevermind…Dad might not be cool enough for this one :P

8GB iPod Touch $230

If your dad isn’t technologically inclined like mine, he won’t appreciate the awesomeness that is the iPod Touch. Hopefully that’s not the case and he will squeal like a school girl when he gets his hands on this. He can add all of his favorite tunes, TV shows, movies, podcasts and more!

Ultimate James Bond DVD Set $200

Widget_ae6g557llmrrjvhvkkxe75

Guys enjoy movies. Why not get him a complete set of his favorite movies or TV shows? James Bond is a great place to start. Other favorites include 24, The Godfather, and The Sopranos.

Gift Cards - Best Buy

Widget_df0pr5oxvkil8y1wumnhpw

Some might say that gift cards are too impersonal, but I think they make a great gift. What do you get for someone who has everything? Let them find it themselves! I like giving gift cards because they can find something they want and will use or at least put it toward an expensive purchase.

This year Best Buys is offering gift cards that double as a speaker, complete with mini-headphone jack. It’s only available if you spend $50 on a gift card.

 

USB Vinyl Archiver $130

Widget_dlfsjtemfdn6uh8mv6ap82

Does he have an iPod? If so, help him fill up his pod with his favorite tunes with this USB vinyl archiver. It’s a really simple way to convert all of your vinyls with a PC or Mac. It even automatically imports the songs into his iTunes library.

Sony 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player $200

Widget_cllf6fmhxc7pkiy4izq-x2

Everything looks better in Blu-ray. It’s only a matter of time before it replaces standard DVD players.Help your guy be the first one in the family or group of friends to upgrade. Not only will he be excited, but you benefit as well -especially if you still live at home!

Colby Leather Valet $40

Widget_atcghtf61i8qiknbjh1n6d

This valet helps keep the working man’s most important belongings in order. The three open compartments hold wallets, iPods, money, etc. There is a closed compartment for other valuables. I love this gift because I love organization. Most of these items are small and can easily become lost when thrown on a desk or dresser. Help him stay organized!

Roll-away Alarm Clock $35

Widget_ay_ubt4ipmm4zz1blff5xk

It looks a lot like Clocky, but it isn’t. This is the perfect alarm clock because it forces you to get out of bed to turn it off. So unless he’s good at ignoring obnoxious beeping sounds, looks like you’re guy will be getting out of bed on time.

Sanctuary Charging Tray $120

Widget_domk6q1pvp158jtu3dxkwu

Finally! A way to bring order to the man who has a lot of gadgets! I hate seeing cords all over the place. This compact box helps keep his gadgets, and cords, in order. He can charge up to 12 gadgets at one time.

Gift Cards - Target

Widget_ceqkapfejocqkowp-4npmm

Seriously, name one person you know who couldn’t use a gift card to Target? I don’t know any. If you come up with someone, I’m calling you a liar. Target has a little bit for everyone. I should know…I wander up and down the aisles at least once a week.

Not to be out sold, Target is offering a gift card that doubles as a digital camera. It has 1.3 megapixels and 8MB of storage. Just like Best Buy, you have to spend at least $50 to get this fancy pants card.

This is great…..I’m having a SUPER hard time picking out a present for my love….thanks for the ideas!

I love the roll away alarm clock. I can’t give that to my man because he sleeps through the alarm and I have to wake him up. So it would be me running around the room trying to turn the damn thing off.

I only clicked on this guide so that I could see your foolish and misguided ideas about what a guy would want then, I saw the USB vinyl converter right off the bat and realized that I was wrong. So instead I’m giving you what every woman wants for Christmas; an apology and admittance of guilt.
