Valentine's DayTop 9 Valentine's Day Gifts for Himby Susan Breslow Sardone It's not always easy to buy a Valentine's Day gift for a man. Most don't get excited by unwrapping a beautiful package that holds clothing or accessories inside. But they certainly appreciate Valentine's Day gifts that do stuff. Choose any of these Valentine's Day to help him realize how well you know him -- and how much you care. If your favorite guy loves the latest and the greatest gifts and needs maximum storage for his music, photos, podcasts, and videos, choose the sleek iPod classic in a black or white case. Its 160GB hard drive has the capacity to store huge quantities. With an optional S-video cable, it's possible to connect iPod Video to a projector or TV so you can both enjoy images in a large format. Fully charged, this model boasts up to 40 hours of battery life. Record your most romantic moments and memorable trips with the most affordable of Sony's hard-drive videocams. You'll never have to replace tape in the middle of a shoot because it records directly onto the hard drive, which can hold up to 20 hours of recording. The unit, which fits in the hand, can also be used as a still digital camera; shots are saved on a memory stick. If he's got a TV, a stereo, a VCR, a DVD, and/or cable, he may also have enough remote controls to confuse a NASA engineer. Not to mention that the one he wants is often the one that's missing. Help him coordinate his entertainment by converting to a universal remote, which can operate all his IR-electronics from one keypad. Most men are hard-wired to fix things, especially when they have the right tools at hand. Surprise yours with a circular saw, cordless drill, or other implement that will inspire him to build those shelves or make the repairs your place needs. Don't forget to reward him affectionately when the job is done after Valentine's Day. Give the gift of music this Valentine's Day to go with his existing or new iPod. iTunes gift certificates are available from $10-$200, enabling your better half to download his favorite new songs this Valentine's Day. Most men aren't comfortable wearing a lot of jewelry, but few can resist a fine watch. This stylish Kenneth Cole Reaction watch has a square face and is a gift that will remind him to make time for you. How long has he been carrying that same wallet? If the answer is, "too long," consider replacing it with a smart-looking new one. And don't forget to slip a picture of you inside. If you're feeling flush, there's nothing that will light up a man's eyes like a new flatscreen LCD TV monitor. As a gift, the 32" Sharp Aquos provides exceptional viewing — aside from when he's admiring you, of course. It's satellite radio to go: MyFi works as both a portable player and a plug-and-play receiver for the car that pulls in XM stations. With it you can also record up to five hours of programming. Package includes a MyFi receiver, kits that let you play the receiver through home and car stereos, earphones, a belt clip, a rechargeable battery, and a remote control. (Note: This does not pick up Howard Stern's show, which is on rival Sirius Satellite Radio.) |
