What to buy…teenage boys

Friday, October 31st, 2008 by Jo

It’s time for another installment in our What to buy series. We looked at What to buy Dads last week and this week it’s the turn of another tricky customer…the teenage boy.

If you need inspiration, just take a look at these:

For the music lover - Everyone loves music. Get them an MP3 player and they can take music with themsony-nwza816 wherever they go. The top rated MP3 player on Reevoo at the moment is the 8GB iPod Touch. It’s currently around £100. If you were looking to spend a little less than that, the second highest rated player is the £70 Sony NWZA816 4GB. And for a complete bargain buy, grab some CDs. Prices start from as little at £2.

For the gamer - Why not go for a games console like the PlayStation 3 (£289)? If they already have a playstation3console, they might like a gaming chair (£100). It’s comfortable for extended gaming sessions and you can feel the action through it. It can also be used to listen to music and watch films. There are also lots of console accessories, like this PS3 charging station for £15. For smaller gifts, you could go for a video game (prices start at £2).

For Mr Sociable - A mobile phone so that they can keep in contact with all their mates. For a phonesamsung-tocco packed full of features, how about the Nokia N95 or N96? Or for a more classy option, how about the Samsung Tocco or the new iPhone? (All phone prices vary according to contract)

For the sporty ones - Some tickets to a football or rugby match will make a great gift. For something garmin-forerunner-405more original, why not try this Garmin Forerunner 405 (£169) GPS-enabled sport watch, which tracks your training and sends the data to your computer or for trips to the coast this fishing starter kit (£32)?

For gadgety types - A Wind-Up Torch with Mobile Phone Charger (£7) or some travel speakers for yourtravel-ipod-speakers iPod (£9).

And for the boy that has everything? - Give them this Sonic Bomb Alarm Clocksonic-bomb-alarm-clock (£24) - guaranteed to wake the laziest of teenagers.

All done. Pretty painless, just as shopping should be.

Gadget watch - gadgets for guys

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008 by Sam

This week’s gadget watch is a gadgets-for-guys special. Three great gadgets that any self-respecting man should have…

Beer_burglar_alarm
For anyone who’s ever had the misfortune of looking forward to a nice cold beer, only to find that it’s been swiped out of the fridge by a thieving housemate, this is definitely the gadget for you. The Beer Burglar Alarm will stop crooks in their tracks with either a stern voice alerting them to “Keepa da hands off ma beer” or an intolerable siren that will be sure to send them packing. Spend a fiver, save a beer…


Pyramat_gaming_chair
Next up is the Pyramat S2500W Sound Rocker chair. It’s a gaming chair with a difference. For serious gaming sessions, its contours and poly-stretch fabric will ensure comfort throughout and you’ll also feel all of the action through it with its pulsing and vibrating speakers.

It connects up to MP3 players or any system with an audio output and acts as a super surround-sound device with its ARX high performance speakers. So you can enjoy games, music and even movies in this chair of entertainment. It will also fold up for easy storage. You can pick one up for around £100 and read reviews here.


Sharp_shootin_remote
And finally, the Sharp Shootin’ remote. If there’s ever a fight in your living room over watching match of the day or Sex and the City, this will solve the problem and ensure you never have to sit through a girlie programme again.

The Sharp Shootin’ remote will learn all of your TV remote’s actions and makes changing channels much more fun. It even has sound effects and comes with a Sheriff’s badge. For £7, you can’t go wrong.

Boys, we’ve found you the ultimate tool for summer. Now that barbeques are in full swing, chances are you’re getting frustrated at having too many tools to carry and nowhere to keep them? Do you wish someone would just get on with it and create a barbeque tool belt? Well, all your wishes have come true.

The Grillslinger Barbeque Tool System has come to aid men across the land with its fire retardant coating, its stainless steel tools and its fully adjustable waist band. Women will marvel at men equipped with its Grill Knife, Speed Tongs and Pro Flipper as they effortlessly create mouth-watering dishes in front of crowds from far and wide.

Well…if it all goes wrong, at least you’ll look hunky in the belt. All girls love a man with a good set of tools.

The waistband adjusts from 30 to 60 inches so if you’re pushing more than 60, you might have to lay off the bangers for a while.

So how much is this piece of barbequing heaven? A mere £49.99 from the Gadget Shop. Worth it just for the compliments.
