Neat Gifts For Men

Find That Pefect Gift For Your Man

Beer Of The Month Club

This is a gift that any warm-blooded man will love.  In fact, if he does not absolutely adore this gift then you know he is gay and its time for the both of you to break up.

I am referring to buying him a membership to a Beer of the Month Club.  There are several clubs for you to pick from and relatively very few people know about it.

Buy Him A Beer Of The Month Club Membership

Its called a “club” but it is really a service that that delivers uncommon or hard-to-find micro brews from around the country to your front doorstep. They come bottled and in every variety imaginable.

Almost every city around the country has their own local microbreweries. Some, like Portland and Milwaukee are more known for theirs than others but every city has at least one.

The typical beer drinker is familiar with the major national brands, a few imported brands and may have some knowledge of 1-2 local beers found in his area.  This means that he is missing out of 99.9% of the different beers that are available in the US, not to mention in the entire world.

That is what makes this service so cool.  Much like NFL Sunday ticket does with football games these beer clubs gives their members access to beers around North America that they otherwise would have no idea existed.  The possibilities are endless: IPAs, lagers, ales, oatmeal stouts, blondes, wheat beer and much more.

I am drooling just writing about it. Having access to rare or hard to find beers that his friends do not know about is every man’s dream. The potential bragging rights are endless.

Memberships to a beer club will usually come with a newsletter and the contact information for each beer that comes to your house so that you can order more if you really like it. He may find a new beer that he really likes and start ordering it on a regular basis.

Whats more, the shipping is usually included into the price and you can go month-to-month or pay one lump sum for a full year.

Drive A Real NASCAR For A Day

Did you know that there are places around the country that will allow you to drive an actual NASCAR, either assisted or unassisted, for a specified amount of time?

While this may not be a big deal to you if your special someone is a big NASCAR fan this will be one of the most memorable gifts of his life and will really show him that you know what he likes.

Let Him Imagine He Is A Nascar Driver For A Day

The Atlanta Motor Speedway, Auto Club Speedway,  Charlotte Motor Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Kentucky Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Richmond International Speedway, Darlington Raceway and the Las Vegas Motor Speedway all have this service availiable.

The cost can be as little as $129.99 to ride with a professional for a couple laps to as much as $3,000 to be able to drive  an actual Nascar vehicle for an entire day.  There are several packages to choose from.

Any die-hard racing fan will love this gift.  It will be completely unexpected and most likely he will not not know this kind of service existed.

You will forever have a place in his heart for bringing his passion into an actual reality.  The next time he is watching NASCAR on television he will actually know that it feels like to be in one of the cars going 172 MPH.

Everyone, including his closest friends, will know that he has the best and most thoughtful woman on the planet earth.

Home Depot Gift Card

A couple of days ago I wrote a post about how it’s a terrible idea to purchase a gift card for a woman. It makes a guy seem lazy and like he just bought something last minute.

The same, however, do not apply for guys. Men do not mind it at all when someone buys them a gift card as long as its not one for Barnes & Nobel Booksellers.

Home Depot Gift Cards Make Good Gifts For Men

I asked four men what they would want their wife to buy them and one of them said a Home Depot gift card.  I asked the other three who were standing nearby if this would be an acceptable gift and they all nodded in agreement.

Talk about being easy to please!

If you need to buy a gift for your man and do not want to spend a fortune  doing so go to Home Depot and purchase a $100 gift card.

He will have a field day shopping for the latest power tool or gadget he will probably end up storing in his garage and forgetting about.

NFL Sunday Ticket

Is your boyfriend or hubby an avid NFL fan?  Does he have a favorite team that he is only able to watch on a limited basis because he cannot get all the games?

I am about to tell you one of the best items you can get that special somebody in your life who finds himself in this predicament.

Its called NFL Sunday Ticket.  Its a pay subscription that allows its subscriber to watch every out-of-market regular season NFL game that comes on.  Any football fan wants this and will even save everyone money in the long run since he will not have to go to a sports bar to catch his team play ($50 bar tabs add up quickly).

NFL Sunday Ticket Makes For A Wonderful Gift For The NFL Fan In The House

The price for NFL Sunday Ticket is $299.95. That might sound expensive but is more than worth the price if you are looking for a gift that will really impress your man.

Direct TV has exclusive rights to this sports package so you might need to sign up with them for you television if you do not already have them.  Trust me, he will understand if you explain that had to get Direct TV in order for him to watch his Sunday Ticket games.  I doubt you will hear any complaints.  Most guys love Direct TV because its widely agreed by many to have the best picture in high definition.

There is also another option if you do not have Direct TV and have desire to get it just for this particular package. Recently, a deal has been worked out where you do not need DirectTV to get Sunday Ticket if you have a Playstation3.

For the same price you can get all the games streaming from your PS3 which will allow you to bypass any two-year satellite contract.

This makes a great gift for any guy. What is more you better believe that all of his friends will want to come over each Sunday to watch the games.

His popularity will rise to new heights as he will be the guy who can get any NFL football game.  He will have more friends than he ever dreamed imaginable.

You might regret giving him this gift in the future after spending several Sundays cleaning up after all their messes but the typical NFL season only lasts for 17 weeks so it won’t be a year round problem.

Kegerators Make An Ideal Gift For Any Man

Ladies, the following gift is what every man dreams about getting from the woman he loves.  In fact, the purchase of this gift will make you look like one of the coolest woman on the planet not only him but to all of his friends.

He will not only brag to all of his friends what he has but more importantly who bought it for him.  All of them will secretly wish that they had a wife or girlfriend like you.

I am referring to a kegerator and this is one of the best presents you can buy a person of the male species. He will not be expecting a gift like this from you so prepare him a little otherwise the sheer joy could induce a heart attack and you might find yourself turning into a premature widow.

Kegerators Make An Ideal Gift For Any Man

Many people, including men, still have no idea what a kegerator is.  It has many shapes and sizes and can be bought in a finished form for built from a small refrigerator.

No matter what it looks like its purpose is the same: a device used to not only keep a keg of beer fresh and cold but to also dispense draft (draught) beer just like restaurants do.

If a house is not equipped with its own bar area then these items are usually placed in a guy’s “man cave,” the garage, the living room or the dining room.

Its allows a man to have his own personal sports bar right in his very own home.  Its a vision that very few woman can relate with but every man dreams about.

A kegerator is the gift of all gifts.  Combine this with a neon beer sign of the recipient’s favorite brand and you will be nothing less than a living goddess.

Where can you find a good deal on a quality kegerator?  Flea markets, swap meets, local fairs and specialty stores will carry them.  You can also find many good online retailers who sell them at extremely low prices compared to fixed retail stores and may even offer free shipping.

Neon Beer Sign

For the past three weeks I have been manning a Direct TV exhibit at the OC Swap Meet on Saturdays and Sundays.  Though I give up a large portion of my weekends I have come to enjoy it because of all the neat items I’ve come across since I have been working there.

One of the booths, two rows over, sell illuminated neon beer signs. Tthey have a signs for almost every beer found in the US and they all plug into your standard outlet.

After walking by this booth a dozen times and drooling over these signs I stopped in yesterday and bought one. Since I was one of the vendors there he gave me an “employee discount” which ended up amounting to almost 10% off which was nice of him.

I’ve been drinking a lot of Coors Light lately and I like mountains so I decided to go with that particular sign.  I cannot decide whether to put it in my bedroom, the kitchen or my garage.  Ah, decisions can be so difficult to make some times.

Coors Light Neon Beer Sign

This is the perfect gift for almost any man.  I cannot imagine any one of my friends who would not love and appreciate a gift like this. Heck, one of them might try to steal mine if I don’t watch out!

Word of caution though. Before you go out or start browsing online for any neon beer signs make sure to find out the designated receiver’s choice of beer. The last thing you want to do is purchase a sign in the shape of a beer that he does not like.

How do you do this?  Ask him.  Do not worry about him finding out what you are doing.  He will have no idea why you are asking that question and will be utterly filled with wonder and excitement when he sees it.
