Alternative Christmas Gifts For Him | Christmas Gifts for Him from GettingPersonal.co.uk

30 October 2009

While time ticks away and the years surreptitiously creep by, nothing comes around as fast and as furious as Christmas. Often, when November descends on us and the festive shopping season begins in earnest, it's a sense of dread we feel, rather than excitement, as we start to make our all-important selection of gifts from the sparkly window displays that line the high street.

Why is it though, that we never seem able to shed our bad shopping habits and end up making the same mistakes year upon year, especially with the men in our lives? Let's face it, When it comes to buying Christmas gifts for him, handkerchiefs have all the excitement of a glass of water. Likewise, after-shave has all the originality of a pine wardrobe and the Christmas jumper, well... all the sex appeal of a Wellington boot.

Drastic mistakes call for drastic measures, so it may be time to admit that you need to change your gift-hunting tactics and turn your attention to something totally different. Luckily, there are plenty of alternative Christmas gifts for him that will put the excitement back into your festive spending spree.

Cool Gadgets
When it comes to buying Christmas gifts for him, cool gadgets cut the mustard every time, so if your man is a geek you should never be short of inspiration. If he's the type to burn the midnight oil in front of the computer with plenty of snacks to see him through, the cute little 'Desktop Henry Vacuum Cleaner' may be his perfect companion, to be there through good times and bad, lifting all those crumbs and debris from his keyboard. And while he's studying or browsing, a set of 'Electronic Finger Drums' may also come in handy as he waits for divine inspiration. Just as cool as the real thing, these colourful instruments make even cooler sounds, can be played with any form of improvised drumsticks and can even be used to record your own rhythms, so they're perfect for songwriters! And when it's time for fun, the amazing 'My Mystery UFO' is just about as impressive as Christmas gifts for him can possibly get. With no need for batteries or radio control, this futuristic gadget appears to hover in mid-air and is sure to be an object of intrigue amongst all his family and friends!

Food for Thought
One thing we often fail to acknowledge is how the Christmas holidays can drag on and even be quite boring at times. With all those repeats on TV including the 70th anniversary showing of The Wizard of Oz, the will to live can tend to take a beating. So any item that keeps the brain in shape during the festive season can be a bit of a godsend even if at first glance it might not be the obvious choice of Christmas gifts for him. Great items such as the 'Brain Fitness Kit', a challenging and stimulating game of logic that he can play either on his own or with friends. There's also the 'React o Meter Game', a unique brand of electronic exercise bike for brains, designed to sharpen reaction times and improve memory through an exciting sequence of mind challenges. Or why not treat him to the 'Top Gear Ultimate Car Challenge board game'. A great gift for any car lover, it promises to test all levels of motoring knowledge in a fast and furious race around the board.

Alternatives for Teenagers
Whether he's trouble-free or a tearaway, it's never easy to find the right Christmas gifts for him when he's in his teenage years. It's that time of life when image is everything and it's cool to be different, which is why the 'T equaliser Tee shirt' is one wicked piece of gear, particularly if he loves clubbing. Just like a graphic equaliser, the design on the front of the tee shirt reacts and dances along to the frequency of the sounds it magically hears. It even glows in the dark, which means he'll definitely stand out on the dance floor. And when he wants to make his own music, there's the fantastic 'V beat Air Guitar'. No need for lessons or even a flair for music; as he learns to work with the motion sensors on this awesome instrument, he'll be creating the coolest sounds around. And if your teen dreams of nothing but fame and fortune, give him a taste of Hollywood with the 'Personalised Star of Fame' framed certificate. The certificate shows his name just as it would appear on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame; something that no matter what his fate in life, he'll always want to keep as a unique memento!
