Women often complain that it's hard to shop for men, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Most guys love home electronics, toys and tools, or some combination of all three.
Here are our picks for can't-miss gifts.
Two of our favorite musical accessories are the Bose AE2i wired headphones and the Jaybird JF3MB Freedom wireless earbuds. The Bose headphones ($179.95 at Best Buy) include a microphone and audio controls to switch from listening to music to talking on the phone with the touch of a button. The Jaybird earbuds ($93.49 on Amazon) fit snugly and have a lifetime warranty against perspiration damage; for runners in Oklahoma's heat, that's a good feature.
Tablets and e-readers are among the most popular gifts this Christmas. Our picks are the Apple iPad 2, the Nook Tablet and the Kindle Fire. The iPad 2 (starting at $499) offers a combination of features unmatched by its growing number of competitors. The Nook Tablet ($249 at Barnes & Noble) goes beyond e-reading to provide tablet functionality, including the ability to surf the web, watch movies and play games. The Kindle Fire ($199 on Amazon) is Amazon's newest e-reader — and the first to offer a color screen. Like the Nook, it has some tablet features and access to a huge library of books.
