If the man you're shopping for is a sports fan then some great gift ideas would include sports equipment such as hockey sticks, baseball gloves or related items. Another suggestion would be to buy tickets to his favorite sporting event. A third suggestion might be to purchase sports collectibles such as autographed basketball, hockey or baseball cards. A framed autographed trading card might be the perfect gift. Better yet, get him an autographed card along with tickets to see his favorite team playing.

If your man is a tech geek and loves the latest gadgets then top on the list could be items such as iphones, ipods, itv, satellite radio, usb drives ( perhaps pre-loaded with your family photos ), electronic photo album, computer, speakers, ipod docking stations, etc. The easiest way to shop for these items is to shop online or go to a specialty store such as Best Buy or Circuit City.

Another great gift idea is to give dvd collections of favorite tv shows. For instance, if your man enjoys Ultimate Fighting ( UFC ) then you may wish to get him a Best of UFC moments dvd.

If you're trying to save money this year then you don't have to spend on extravagant gifts. One of the best gifts that you may wisht to give can be for services performed by you. For instance, you may wish to give him coupons for your services, such as a car wash, home-cooked romantic dinner, making the bed, or for romantic services such as sensual massage. These gifts would really put a smile on his face.

The important thing is to put some effort and thought into buying him what he wants rather than buying what you think he should want.
