Best Gifts for Guys
Ladies, get your man what he really wants for Christmas, his birthday, or any special occasion. Here are my top ten picks for men's gift ideas.
Don't know what to get for your man? Here are a few gift ideas that he'll love:
1. Sports stuff
You should know what sports teams your man is loyal to. Buy him a jersey, a hat, or a t-shirt. Even if he can't make it to the game, he'll wear the stuff on the weekend while he watches on TV at home. Check this out!
2. Video games
Most guys like video games no matter how old they are. If he has a PS3, XBOX 360, or a Wii, get him a video game. There are loads of games to choose from in the $20 range. If you don't know which game to buy, get him an extra controller...or get him a subscription to GameFly. Click here.
3. Fragrances
Guys like to smell good, too. And women know which fragrances they like to smell on their man. Spray-ons like Axe or Tag are popular and inexpensive, and they now offer lines of body wash, roll-on deodorant, and hair products. Buy separately or as part of a gift set. $5-$15. Look at this.
4. Gadgets
Does he have an iphone? Get him a case for it. Does he have an ipod? Get him mini-speakers for it. $5 - $100. Try this link.
5. TV on DVD
You know which TV shows he likes. Almost any popular series is available on DVD or Blu-ray. Buy him a season of his favorite TV show so he can watch it again and again. $25-$45. This is a good site.
6. Clothing
Most guys are picky about what they wear. But if its something you really want to see him in, and you buy it for him, he'll probably wear it. If you know his size, his sense of style, and what colors he likes to wear, you can probably pick out some great additions to his wardrobe. $15-$100. Great stuff right here.
7. Spirits
Good whiskey, expensive vodka, and premium tequila are all special treats for a guy who enjoys fine spirits, poured with a mixer of his choice...or straight, on the rocks. $15-$50. Enjoy responsibly.
8. A Trip
Surprise the man in your life with a trip to Vegas, a roller coaster park, or a weekend at the beach. Hook him up with a break from the rat race. Doesn't he deserve it? Click here for fun.
9. Baked Goods
It's just like mom used to make. Only better. Because its from you. Simply break out your favorite ingredients and make him a batch of those famous cupcakes...or brownies...or cookies...or whatever it is you're good at making. From scratch is always best, but most of us need a little help from our good friend Betty Crocker. Yummy.
10. Technology
Does he have a good laptop? An HDTV? A Blu-ray player? If not...he probably wants one...Whatever the latest thing is that he doesn't have...it's a good bet it's on his wish list. $100 and up. Check out this link for good buys.

Multi-night Discounts
Always ask for a discount if you're staying at a hotel for more than 3 nights.
If you're staying at a hotel while traveling, and you didn't have time to do research before hand -- or perhaps some unforeseen circumstance has prompted an unplanned hotel stay, always try to negotiate a discounted rate if you're staying more than 3 nights. Often times, nightly rates at a hotel can be modified. If the clerk at the front desk is unable to adjust your rate, politely ask for a manager. Most hotels are willing to work with you if it will get you to commit to a multi-night stay, particularly now, while the economy is slow and tourism and traveling are hurting.
