For Him
1. Cool Gadget: the new apple Nano is a great gift idea, it has more features including AM/FM radio and you can even sprint for a cool watch band accessory like the ones at wired.com

2. Magazine Subscription: Think Playboy or Sport Illustrated. If you want to go a little above and beyond look into the men’s magazine from the UK, called FRONT MAGAZINE. The subscription is a little pricier but it’s coming from overseas, it’s a magazine featuring babes, great music and manly articles with a splash of hot men’s fashion.

3. Beers of the world: this is a good gift for a guy you are just recently dating or for an extra gift for the man you’ve been dating for years. The case has a variety of 10 beers and you can order online or pick up at World Market. What man doesn’t love beer?

4. Hipster Holga Camera: this is a great gift because there are so many varieties, some range from the basic for $35-$40, then the more elaborate that you can customize for up to $200. They come in cool colors like White, Mint and Red and they even have one that takes all pictures in Fish Eye mode. Urban Outfitters carries them but you can also Google and order online.
5. Concert Tickets: Surprise him by planning an outing to see a band he likes. Order the tickets head of time so you can put them inside a card. Give him so details of other things you will be doing that night, like dinner before and drinks after. Maybe even spring for a hotel near the venue. Include all of this in the card along with the tickets.

Presents to avoid: anything engraved (unless it’s a flask with his nickname), stuffed animals, jewelry (just don’t, men don’t usually wear it), framed picture of you, clothing you wish he would wear.
