5 Of The Greatest Ideas For A Christmas Gift For A Man

Here's a list of the greatest ideas for a Christmas gift for a man that I could find.

#5. Training with a poker coach
Most guys I know love to play poker. Think about it. It's fun to sit around a table with your buddies, eating junk food, drinking beer, listening to the latest tunes. Oh, and then there's the poker as well. Most guys play for money, and while it's only twenty bucks in the pot, it's nice to win. An evening with a poker coach is a great Christmas gift for a man, because it teaches him how to gain the advantage in poker matches with his buddies. Most poker coaches I know come to you and bring everything with them (cards, chips, felt). All your man has to supply is the table. Poker coaches usually allow up to six people to sit in on the session – so he can make an evening of it.

#4. Movie film cells
If he's just starting out with his home theatre system, there's nothing like banging up a few authentic movie film cells on the wall to give the place some atmosphere. (Movie film cells are sections from the reels of film a movie was shot on). You can buy all sorts of movie film cells, such as Lord Of The Rings film cells, Star Wars film cells and Back To The Future film cells. (If he has the DVD of the film, he'll like the framed movie film cell too). Don't worry about which film you choose – consider that this is the start of his collection and that it can only grow from here.

#3. Rollies
Rollies are awesome. They are wheels that you strap on to your everyday shoes to turn them into a kind of makeshift roller skate. With Rollies, you can pirouette like ice skaters or zoom along the street at a much faster pace than you can walk. Helmets and other protective gear are therefore recommended when using Rollies.

The thing I like about Rollies is that you can zoom around the streets and then easily unstrap them and throw them into a bag when you are heading into a movie, or into a restaurant or whatever. Because they are just the wheels and the straps (and not the actual boot themselves), Rollies are super-lightweight and compact for easy storage or portability. The wheels in the Rollies are translucent and light up when you skate along. This is a very cool effect, especially at night. Imagine backpacking around in Europe with a pair of Rollies in your backpack! (Although the cobblestone streets might do you in)!

Rollies only have wheels at the back of your feet, next to your heels. There are no wheels at the front of your feet. This means you can brake easily, but the added advantage is that this makes Rollies ultra light and compact. Rollies are an all-round great Christmas gift for a man.

#2. A new/modded computer case

Now, while this may sound like the most boring gift on earth to you, consider this – we never know what someone else will love, and what they will hate. Is he into computers and techy stuff? He could well love this Christmas gift for a man. A new/modded computer case gift is where you have someone remove his computer case (the metal box that sits around the hard drive) and replace it with a blinged-up, pimped-out computer case. The new case will have colored lights, excellent logos, etchings and a whole lot more. It's like cars – if you don't understand why guys love cars and adding subwoofers to them, you won't understand this either. You don' t have to understand it – you only have to receive the massive “thank you” you will get after giving him this Christmas gift for a man!

#1. A sit down arcade game machine
If your guy loves video games then this gift idea will make him salivate. His jaw will be pounding the floor. It's a table arcade game machine (you know the kind, where you sit down on a stool and the screen is built into the table) with 150 vintage arcade games already built in. Some of the games are Dr. Mario, World Cup Soccer, 1942, Baseball, Popeye and Tennis. The actual table itself is new, it's just that the arcade games are vintage and have all been included for you. The arcade game table machine is a 2-player machine (but you can plead with him not to make you play it when you first give him this gift).
