Every year the holiday season can be a quite headache for some people, you want to give a christmas gift to someone, but stuggling to pick “that something” that the person wouldn’t dislike.
Especially when a girl trying to get something for the boys, be it mother buying for son or husband (still a boy), or girlfriend buying for her boyfriend, they are going to have hard time to get that perfect gift for him. If you are not struggling, well, be appreaciate that he is not picky đŸ˜‰ .
Here I have a list of gifts, which I personally feel that it can be a good reference for gift idea (based on the fact that I’m a guy too). Guys, if you are reading this, please feel free to disagree with me on the ideas at the comment below, will be glad to know what you guys are thinking *cough* demanding for christmas.
Let’s start the list off with something practical, oh, wait, they all are. XD Nevermind, let’s start with something *less interesting*.
Let’s start with mug.
Yup, mug. Considering the boy may be a gamer or a book worm, presenting them a mug to quench their thirst during gaming or reading.
Self Stirring Coffee Mug
A mug that will stir by itself! Okay, this might not be new, but it works. Imagine getting thirsty while you are reading, having a drink reachable nearby, just pick it up and take a sip, all done with one hand in one smooth motion without letting go of the book.
There is no need of stirring with another hand, how cool is that? Gamers should appreciate this convenience, take a sip without pausing the game.
Have a little twist on your everyday drinking experience, feel the force, and mix your drink with the force. (see what I did there >:) )
Mighty Mug Stainless Steel Tumbler
Not fancy on the mug that will stir by itself? Then how about a tumbler that won’t fall over?
A mug/tumbler with smart grip function that never wear out, guaranteed to work on any smooth, flat surface. Sounds ideal to place on your reading table? or computer desk? It is đŸ™‚
Its vacuum insulated wall will keep your drink hot up to 6 hours and cold for 12 hours, just enough for a few hours on the gaming couch.
Mighty Mug Ice
Adding a flex straw to your not-falling mug, you get Mighty Mug Ice. With the stay-cool double wall, you can keep your hands dry and enjoy your cold drink!
Imagine during a hot weekend, reading a book on your bed, with an ice drink on bed side desk, not worrying it will spill over by your accidental kick to the desk. Cool, right? Sure this story goes well with gaming too.
Let’s talk about books now.
How to Poo on a Date: The Lovers’ Guide to Toilet Etiquette
This is a survival book.
How to survive the romantic toilet related situation.
It answers to one of the most important questions that has played on the mind of mankind for centuries: how to poo on a date. (I promise you this is the real thing, copied from the desription itself of course ;p )
While this can be gifted to a guy (maybe not a boy, unless he is dating, who knows) as a “prank” gift, it does provide a good weekend/afterschool reading experience.
Zombie Survival Manual : The Complete Guide to Surviving a Zombie Attack
This is, of course another survival book. The guide to surviving a zombie attack.
Who doesn’t love zombies? They appeared on movies, games, toys~ I’m sure everyone has a space in their heart for zombies, or else how are those zombie themed entertainment doing so well?
What would you do when zombie apocalypse happens? Do you have enough knowledge and skills to survive and protect who is important to you? Guys sure have imagined themselves in such situation before, this manual is just something they gonna love!
Zombie Survival Transport ManualÂ
Well well well, if the survive guide is not enough. Here’s a little something that add to the reading experience, a transport manual during zombies apocalypse.
Let’s look at games related stuffs.
Now we have come to a topic that almost all the boys like, games!
Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic EditionÂ
Those who are from the 80’s  and 90’s would know, the classic console, NES. Not that you are going to get an expired+outdated unit, but a new unit with 30 pre-installed games and HDMI output!
That’s right, no more cassette blowing nightmare.
The old-school feel comes the old-school games, pre-installed games include:Â Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, PAC-MAN, Dr. Mario, Mega Man, Final Fantasy, and dozens more.
How’s that for a gift now, boys?
Steam Gift Card
This, may or may not suitable for the person you are trying to give. You have to know if he is buying games on Steam.
If you are really out of ideas, but you know he has that Steam icon on his desktop, this could just be a not-going-to-wrong-but-not-so-nice christmas gift. Well, that could be the totally different case when a girlfriend gifted this to a boyfriend. LOL
Go Gamer Portable Gaming System
A gameboy looking game console that fits 220 hires 16 bit retro style games (as it claims).
Comes in 2.5 inch full colour LCD screen, and backlit!
The old style “TV games” could be a different gaming experience for those who grew up with computer and mobile games. Or a reminiscence for those who went through the whole gaming evolution.
