Can't figure out what to get your father, brother, boyfriend or husband? Check out Rakesh Singh's unique Christmas gift ideas.  However, there is a small minority of men who are very hard to shop for. They just seem to already have every gadget under the sun. In these cases, it is easier to get something strange, funny or perhaps even a bit ridiculous. Often these types of gifts make the best and most memorable presents. The following gift ideas are a little silly, a little impractical but ultimately ultra-cool. Renova Toilet Paper Manufacturer: Renova Available: http://www.renovaonline.net Price: $12 for 3 rolls & gift tin It’s one thing to light cigars with dollar bills, but it would be more than a little unhygienic to use money to wipe your behind. However, the geniuses at Renova Paper have come up with a darling solution. Bringing European aesthetics to toilet paper, these bottom wipes are available in money Green, exotic Orange, daring Black, and sensual Red. This is a luxury toilet paper that is equally stylish as it is soft. Generation Nex Manufacturer: Messiah Entertainment Available: www.retrogamer.ca Price: $57.95 Serious gamers everywhere will be hoping to wave wiimotes around this Christmas (including me) on Nintendo’s newest gaming console - the Nintendo Wii. Any serious gamer began their gaming life on the original NES. The Nex marries classic Nintendo nostalgia with modern technology. Capable of playing most import and domestic NES games, the NEX provides a stellar reason to pull out all your classic NES games out of the closet and relive those memories of yesteryear. Duck Hunt or Mario Bros. 3, anyone? A great gift for any old school gamer without breaking the bank for high priced next generation console. V-Moda Vibe Earphones Manufacturer: V-Moda Available: The Apple Store Price: $129.95 Great headphones are very, very underrated. Almost everyone has mp3 players nowadays and the majority of them are still using those old throwaways that the manufacturers include for free. The price may be steep but why not take those $300 iPods and Microsoft Zunes to their potential? The V-Moda Vibes offers noise-canceling, exceptional bass, great highs and balanced mid-ranges. The headphones are also a fashion statement but not at the expense of function. If ear buds are not his style, check out the competing Sennheiser PX100s. Dial-a-Drink Recipe Cocktail Shaker Manufacturer: www.homewetbar.com Available: amazon.ca Price: $35.00 For men who like pretending they are Tom Cruise in Cocktail (in those years before he went weird) this gift comes with 15 recipes on the shaker. A veritable party in a bottle! This is a great gift for any guy who likes to entertain guests and play bartender. Brain cells beware! Alcohawk ABI Digital Breathalyzer Manufacturer: Q3 Innovations Available: amazon.ca Price: $129.99 I can only imagine the strange variety of drinking games this little machine could produce in the hands of a creative individual. This gadget is quirky, unique and undeniably cool. Compact and easy-to-read, it might help save some lives too. Find out when you crossed the line at the party and not on the road with Mr. Police Officer. The Venture Bros. & Harvey Birdman DVD Collections Manufacturer: Adult Swim Available: HMV, amazon.com Price: $29.99 Adult Swim is continually putting out hit after hit. What makes these DVD sets great gifts? Both shows feature a great mix of 80s nostalgia combined with modern humor and American styled animation. With fan favorites like Stephen Colbert and Patrick Warburton delivering incredible voice acting, you easily have some the best adult cartoons this side of Family Guy and Home Movies. Happy Worker Toys Manufacturer: Happy Worker Toys Available: www.happyworker.com Price: $20 The toy makers at Happy Worker love to celebrate the common man with action figures. The characters range from Supermom to Bossman. These figures are fun for sprucing up the cubicle. He won’t have had this much fun with action figures since GI-JOE. NOOKA Zen-H / Zen-V Manufacturer: Nooka Inc. Available: www.nookawatch.com Price: $290 Timepieces have experienced little change over the last 50 years until artist Matthew Waldman realized that there was room for competing designs. Easier to read than it first seems, Nooka watches are licensed by Seiko and are truly about form and style. Available at select stores such as the superb men’s store Got Style, this watch is for any man who yearns to be rebellious yet stylish. The Buttkicker Manufacturer: Guitammer Company Available: amazon.com Price: $500 For those who want the most immersive home theatre experience ever, the Buttkicker is installed into the base of the couch, providing ample low frequency sound delivered directly to your body without all the volume. Despite how silly that sounds this product is receiving rave reviews. Also available in a miniaturized form for gamers, Guitammer has made sure that everyone who deserves a butt kicking can get one this holiday season. Adidas 1 Intelligent Shoe Manufacturer: Adidas 1.1 Available: www.adidas.com Price: $199.99 Quite possibly the coolest shoes ever seen since Michael J. Fox’s pumps in Back to the Future II, the Adidas 1’s have been given an update. These shoes feature an onboard computer that changes the degree of cushioning based on information gathered from physical activities. These shoes are so cool they are guaranteed to make even the biggest shut-in computer nerds want to go out for a run. ________________________________ something for everyone Hopefully these admittedly silly suggestions will help you scratch that impossible-to-buy-for guy off your Christmas list. He’s sure to appreciate the originality. |
