    No. They want a remote controlled vibrator.

    Ok, a proviso to my socks comment: Socks are ok If you're a dad. When you have kids you grow to really appreciate the complex things in life, like the ability to reach into a drawer and have a sock to put on. Prior to dadhood, it's a bit naff I suppose. And post-kids, sex is an even more impressive present because you don't get it the rest of the year.

    If the car's not his don't put a cd player in it. The car owner will turn up one day and drive the car and player away. Tears will ensue.

    I agree with whoever said PSP: I would marry any girl on the spot who got me one of those for Christmas!

    :D

    On a side note - not a chance in hell you'll get one this Christmas unless you've a ****load of cash. Even though its cost nearer to 200 euro you'll pay 500 for one on ebay now!

    Luckily I pre-ordered mine in August :p
    (Still not sure if Ill get it in time for Christmas though)

    Yes I know this doesnt help - unless you can find someone with a pre-order or you get one on ebay or something!

    I'm going to have to echo what I already see here. Anything electronic would be grand. Or anything to do with anything electronic. Maybe even anything remotely to with anything that may be connected to something electronic. Perhaps even just something you place in something with electricity. Yeah, that would be nice too. Did I mention it should be electronic?

    There is no one answer. I have to buy a girl a present and I have no idea what to get her. I tried asking my few female friends and the first thing they did was bombard me with questions about what she is like. It's the same with men. A particular gadget might be a quick and easy answer but he might already have one. It's the same with CDs/DVDs/games.

    In the end, you're on your own. We could give you ideas all day for what we want.

    If you still can't decide just give him a gift voucher, for like 50 euro, and let him choose what he wants, IMHO this is the best present!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,828 ✭✭✭ven0m


    For me it's one money can't buy; someone special in my life & for them to be around on my brithday or christmas..... never been with someone on either day & they're within 3 weeks of each other.....

    Blowjob vouchers.

    I'd say lying naked on a bed with a big ribbon coming up between your legs, and the cross of it over your breasts with a big bow in the middle (all covered) would be a good present to unwrap.

    Order of things for men...

    Sex
    Shiney things
    DvDs/Games (depending on what they spend more time doing)
    Shiney things
    Sex

    Maybe I have low expectations- I'd be thrilled to get a voucher with something along the following written on it:

    "This entitles the bearer to X numbers of breakfast in bed."
    or
    "This entitles the bearer to assistance with tidying the house and laundry"

    Pressie does not necessarily have to be a physical gift- sometimes the little things- spending time with someone, or doing things together, can mean far more than any gift you could possibly hope to buy in the shop.

    Re: CD player for car- Kenwood have a distributor in the Robinhood Industrial Estate that sell one of their systems for under 200 Euro that plays MP3s and has really really decent sound. Do shop around- and get advice, there is no point in buying the first system you see.

    I would have to go with a voucher for some type of alternating Sex,

    I picked up an MP3 car stereo recently on Pixmania, 'twas delivered within a week (so in time for Chrimbo). Tis rather cool and the missus thinks its great 'cos she can get 10 or so of her Diana Ross, Dido etc albums on one CD and not have to change CDs all the time.

    right! so all i have to do is kidnapp my hottest buddy and paint both of us silver. implant a microchip in both our heads and attach to a remote control. jiggle a red bow between both our bits, at voila!!! we'd be gadgety porn stars with a built in special meal cooking mechanism! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 861 ✭✭✭yawnstretch

    I have to tell santa I've changed my mind. I want one of these for christmas!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,366 ✭✭✭luckat


    nah you're just gay,all we (and I speak on behalf or all straight men) want is a big pair of boobies

    This is such a relief. I always wondered how to find my true sexuality; now I know it's my taste in woolly jumpers and gadgets.

    /me stares out of window at schoolgirls. Damn, not a flicker. Oh well, bound to happen if I wait long enough and wear woolly enough jumpers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,366 ✭✭✭luckat


    And I have a pair of boobies, not too big, but boobies. So yah boo, sucks (as it were) to you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,661 ✭✭✭Blitzkrieger


    You're all sex-mad.



    I'm jealous.....


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 18,115 ✭✭✭✭ShiverinEskimo


    Threesome would be the ultimate. but obviously can get messy. (i mean bad-messy).

    But is that cat wont fly, for any man, a miniature fridge. pain in the hole to have to go to the kitchen to get beer.

    Or imagine wakin up hungover with the taste like a badger's arse in your mouth and turning over to a miniature fridge filled with cool, crisp, refreshing bottles of <insert fav bottled water brand here>.

    I'm telling you, he'll be thanking you <insert number of nights out a week> mornings a week for the rest of his life.

    got minifridge for my boyfriend for his room - fan in it was really noisy so he had to get rid of it :(

    Got my man flying lesson before - he has always been big into airplanes and always says he'd love to fly one - so needless to say he really really appreciated it ;)

    Most men I would say would love flying lessons!

    Gadgets yes - go to www.firebox.com or www.boysstuff.co.uk

    Yup, my boyfriend is getting a flying lesson this year....

    Its something that he would love but would never get for himself (i don't think)

    :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Deadwing had it right.

    Gadgets are the way to go. The more features and the more assembly time required, the better.

    Sex is a good present for a single person. If you're looking for a present for a boyfriend, sex is not it. Unless you're satisfying a fantasy of his, and making a big effort, he'd be disappointed with just sex, because he's expecting that anyway, on top of his present.

    As others here have said before, each guy (or girl) is their own individual and what they'd really love depends on their interests and likes, so just think, is there any tv show he's really into? get the dvd... any franchise he really likes? Any interest in cars, planes, space, boxing, football... etc etc etc... Ya gotta think about these things. Coming onto a forum on the net aint really gonna help as you'll get general muppety replies (as you can see... this IS including my own).

    So... just sit down and think about it, then forget what you've thought about and just buy him a sandwich.
