Leatherman Tread Bracelet

Best gift for men

Includes the following tools : #1-2 Phillips, 1/4″ box wrench, 3/16″ screwdriver, 6mm hex drive, 1/4″ hex drive, oxygen tank wrench, 3/16″ hex drive, 1/8″ hex drive, 3/16″ box wrench, 3/32″ hex drive, 3/32″ screwdriver, 1/8″ flat screwdriver, 4mm hex drive, 8mm box wrench, 3mm hex drive, 5/16″ screwdriver, 3/8″ box wrench, 1/4″ flat screwdriver, #1 Phillips, 6mm box wrench, #2 Phillips, carbide glass breaker, pick/sim card tool, cutting hook, 1/4″ socket drive, bottle opener, #2 square drive. 

Features:

• Made of stainless steel.
• Total tool count is 29, including several box wrenches, screwdrivers and hex drives.
• Adjustable links can be adjusted/released with a coin.
• Air-travel friendly design.
• Sturdy, secure clasp.

Leatherman has always been great at finding innovative ways to make tools practical and portable. They’re even a bit of a fashion statement for some guys. The Tread Bracelet is certainly that – it has a cool, bold look and incorporates a bunch tools in a unique way. There are 29 mini-tools to choose from and they link together to form a bracelet, you can choose which tools to incorporate and it can be adjusted to fit any size wrist.

I’m not sure that these tools will always be that practical because they’re pretty small. I’d think for a guy who’s into outdoor hobbies like diving, mountain climbing, and cycling – this could be both practical and cool to wear.

Weber 7416 Rapidfire | Chimney Starter

Best gift for men

Features:

Guys and our barbecues! Weber is never short of new ideas for barbecue accessories. I’m still an old-fashioned guy when it comes to building fires, so I take a primal pride in lighting my fire without any help from technology.

That’s not true for most men, however, many of my friends are avid collectors of barbecue accessories and I know many men will be ecstatic to own one of these. It makes lighting a fire hassle-free and a lot less messy.

Though, I’m sure many guys will agree that something that you’re actually going to use on a regular basis is a gift that keeps on giving. Anyone who drives a car will appreciate the basic value of this powerful battery booster with quite a number of cool features – including a powerful LED light.

Book: The Cat Encyclopedia: Definitive Visual Guide

If anyone thought that dogs are for guys and cats are for girls, think again. Many of us animal lovers are as mad about cats as we are about dogs. In my book, any literature on animals is a fantastic thing to have. This looks like a book that’s just as much something that you can browse through and look at cool pictures, as it is an informational guide to understanding cats. I certainly wouldn’t be disappointed to find this under my tree this year.

The same as the Cat Encyclopedia, just for dogs. Just as fantastic and is just as popular, if not more.

A decorative and accurate map of the San Juan Islands with relief patterns giving it a realistic relief, showing the depth and contours of the land. I don’t how many guys are into this sort of thing, but there must be quite a few out there because it seems to be quite a popular gift.

For years, multi tools, such as this one, have been one of the most popular gift ideas for men and the reason doesn’t need to be explained. It’s a guy thing.

Book — So Good They Can’t Ignore You

Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love. I’ve read this book and it provides a unique perspective on creating a fulfilling work life. Best gift for a man who likes to learn and grow intellectually.

“After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do…”

Often self-help books can seem like a bit of an insult. They leave the recipient asking themselves: what’s wrong with me and why do you feel that I need help? So Good They Can’t Ignore You is a self-help book but it’s not one that makes a personal statement about the person that you’re buying it for. It’s really a book that gives you advice on how to enjoy your job and make a success of it.

I already love my job, so I won’t be reading this one. But so many guys might feel a little cheated out of life – feeling like they should have chosen another career. This book will provide great insight for many people and help them to enjoy what they’re doing, instead of dreaming of what they could’ve been doing.

Amazon Echo Show

Truly, an innovative home voice assistant that now also includes video to make it even more  practical. Best gift for men who like to optimize their life.

Features:

• Echo Show brings you everything you love about Alexa, and now she can show you things. Watch video flash briefings, Amazon Video content, and YouTube, see music lyrics, security cameras, photos, weather forecasts, to-do and shopping lists, browse and listen to Audible audio-books, and more. All hands-free—just ask.
• Introducing a new way to be together. Make hands-free video calls to friends and family who have an Echo Show or the Alexa App, and make voice calls to anyone who has an Echo or Echo Dot.
• See lyrics on-screen with Amazon Unlimited Music. Just ask to play a song, artist or genre, and stream over Wi-Fi. Also, stream music on Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, iHeartRadio, and more.
  Powerful, room-filling speakers with Dolby processing for crisp vocals and extended bass response. Play your music simultaneously across Echo devices with multi-room music (Spotify and Sirius XM support coming soon, Bluetooth not supported).
• Ask Alexa to show you the front door or monitor the baby’s room with compatible cameras from Ring and Arlo. Turn on lights or the TV, set thermostats, control Amazon Video on Fire TV, and more with WeMo, Philips Hue, Sony, ecobee, and other compatible smart home devices.
• With eight microphones, beam-forming technology, and noise cancellation, Echo Show hears you from any direction—even while music is playing
• Always getting smarter and adding new features, plus thousands of skills like Uber, Allrecipes, CNN, and more.

Are you buying a gift for a guy who’s an insatiable tech-junkie? In that case, he may already have the Amazon Echo Show – so just check before buying it for him. If he hasn’t already got one, he probably already has the Amazon Echo. If you’ve heard this guy refer to Alexa many times, don’t be alarmed – she isn’t his mistress or anything. She’s the voice behind Amazon Echo, which is really a voice interactive device that assists you with internet activities.

Amazon has now given Alexa a face and eyes. Okay, it’s not a real face, it’s a screen and her eyes are actually a camera. This has increased the versatility of the original Echo. Basically now you can see and not just hear. It duplicates a tablet in many ways but isn’t really a mobile device. It’s quite bulky and will only be used at home or in the office. In my opinion, this is a gift for guys who are obsessed with technology. If you already have a tablet or laptop, there are many apps that give you voice recognition and there isn’t much more that the Echo Show really brings to the party.

In today’s modern world, there aren’t many areas where a man still displays his dominance. This antiquated ritual is still held true in many households: he who holds the remote is the man of the house. It’s only fair to let us have a small part of life that lets our caveman instincts play some role. Yes, where in times of old we displayed our manhood by wielding a club, now we hold the remote.
