The Gifts that Will Put a Smile on a Man’s Face This Year
The holidays are just around the corner and you’re looking for something for that special man…your husband, son, fiancé or friend. Let’s face it…most guys love gadgets, mechanical or technological devices that do cool things. Let’s look at some of the cutting-edge items that will appeal to the male of the species.
- FIXD—a way to communicate directly with your car—This device easily plugs into any motor vehicle manufactured after 1995. It will tell you why your check engine light is on, whether the issue is serious, and even give you an estimate of the costs of repair. You can link FIXD sensors in all your vehicles to the same account, so that you’ll know immediately when there’s a problem.
- The smart air pump—The Airmoto lets you check air pressure on your smartphone, set the desired pressure and inflate any device, from a car or bike tire to a basketball. With as much as 150 PSI, it can fully inflate an automobile tire in less than 8 minutes. It comes with a built-in flashlight, as well as a charger to ensure that your cellphone works in an emergency. It’s small enough to fit in your glovebox and many bike bags.
- PremierWatch 5.0—This smartwatch, compatible with both Android and iOS devices, offers a wide range of health and fitness tracking, from heart rate and blood pressure to blood oxygen levels. You can manage calories, as well as exercise, all from the convenience of your wrist.
- The BarxBuddy—A dog is man’s best friend, but the relationship can be trying when Fido won’t stop woofing. The BarxBuddy emits a tone that is detectable by canines, but not by humans. You can catch your pooch in the act (of barking or any other mischief), and put an end to unwanted behavior.
- A car phone holder you can trust—Many car phone holders don’t have much of a grip. The Smart Holder Pro has a robotic clamp that automatically secures your phone. It also has a wireless charger, if you have the latest smartphone technology.
- The fastest charger on the market—The QuickCharge Pro lets you charge up to four devices simultaneously, at speeds up to ten times as fast as most other chargers. It can also bring new life to old batteries.
- A car dashboard camera—Get it on record, whether you’re in the vehicle or not. The car dash camera has a motion sensor, a wide-angle lens (170 degrees) and up to 32 GB of storage.
- The smart wallet—It looks like a regular wallet or money clip, but it offers RFID-blocking technology, so that the cards you carry can’t be hacked by digital thieves.
Make the holidays special for that special man in your life with one of these great gifts.
