any other ideas?? I dont wanna do clothes or colognes, and i think my parents are getting him a watch. so what else does that leave? i was initially getting him a PS3 but bc of his traveling situation at the moment, that wont be worth it.

Re: Gifts for guys

Don't you think necklaces and bracelets are a tad too douchey for a 28 year old man? A watch seems like a very good idea, cheers to your parents. You could get him a nice media player, a good set of headphones, a PSP for his commute unless he is driving, sunglasses, shoes, whatever strikes your fancy.

Re: Gifts for guys

i do like his sense of style with accessorizing, so its not douchey...he is a watch collector, and gave me a watch for my bday that was very recent and so i think giving a watch for his bday, atleast from me, would feel kinda awkward to me.

PSP does strike my fancy since i was initially thinking of a ps3...he will be going to pakistan so he could make use of a psp i guess..i dont know if hes so into games to play them on a handheld...will a handlheld look ok for a 28 yr old? I just googled PSP, whats better, the PSP or PSPgo?

Re: Gifts for guys

LOL no I didn't mean to call him douchey, I was on about necklaces and bracelets in general. PSP-Go is the new PSP. He can use it for games as well as music and videos, movies etc. Gadgets don't look bad on guys, age doesn't matter, and guys growing out of gadgets is a myth.

Re: Gifts for guys

i beleive you, but im hoping this is coming from a guy… :rolleyes: lol well my main question is, i saw it says skype is compatible with this, does that also include skype video calling? bc if thats the case PSPgo is IT! that’ll give him NO excuse not to skype me from pakistan :slight_smile:

Re: Gifts for guys

Thats affirmative, based on a very recent DIY check. Rest assured.

Not too sure about video calls on PSP, never used mine for video calling. You might want to check Skype forums beforehand then. Although I don't know what he has told you but I believe Pakistani Customs do allow laptops to get through, so there should not an excuse for not skype calling you in the first place.

Re: Gifts for guys

Lol good to know.

Okay, well yeah I know he will have his laptop, thats not a problem. Overall, ive been reading about the PSPgo and the reviews dont seem too positive...im a girl so im gonna like the PSPgo bc it looks real nice. PSP 3000 seems to be the hotter pick bc of its convenience of use (bc PSPgo only allows downloads and no UMD's) What do you think?

Re: Gifts for guys

I have a PSP3000 myself, and I would prefer it any day over PSP-Go. It is a matter of preference really, both gadgets are brilliantly designed. PSP3000 has a bigger display area 4.4" I believe, compared to Go's 3.8". I heard Go's OS is more responsive and faster, and it has a bigger storage space. You could go have a look at them both side by side in an electronics store, might help you decide which one you like better. You are right about UMDs. Although Go offers a much bigger storage capacity for all your downloads, and downloading is not difficult process. Again, personally I like using a disc better. Old school FTW.

Re: Gifts for guys

my solution: PSPgo with a gift receipt - from there on out its up to him!

Re: Gifts for guys

oh, and how could i forget...thanks for bringing this idea to my attention!! im sure he'll be happier getting this gadget than a necklace

Re: Gifts for guys

That is an absolutely lovely present for a guy. Cheers to you.

Gosh why are all the good caring ladies already taken.

Re: Gifts for guys

I think he’ll like it! Little does he know, you just saved him from getting some douchey jewelry.

Dont worry, we are taken by good caring men, thats why :halo:

Re: Gifts for guys

Haha touche'!

Re: Gifts for guys

Speaking of Touch’e you could get him a Sword… :e6:

No maybe not thats assuming too much… I am thinking of my own Birthday… :rotfl:

Re: Gifts for guys

Buy him something from Menkind. They always have the coolest stuff.

Re: Gifts for guys

Give him 24 hours to do whatever he wants to do. It's the biggest gift, i am telling you !

Re: Gifts for guys

Gaming consoles/handhelds are always good if someone's into games. If he's a gamer, he won't care if it looks good for him or not. I'd be very happy if my wife were to give me a PS3 (or any gaming console or game).

Re: Gifts for guys

best gift you can give ur guy... is to stay fit physically and start using your brain. there no better gift any girl can give than this.

Re: Gifts for guys
