Get A Boyfriend For Christmas...Nah, Keep The One Ya Got!

Yes, this is a little tongue in cheek but this has been an ongoing question for generations.  What should you get your boyfriend for Christmas?  It's never easy, is it?  You want to find the perfect present that says either "I like you" or "I really like you" (lets avoid "love" for now).

So how do you go about finding that perfect Christmas gift?  Oh sure, you could ask his friends, maybe even his own family, but I suspect they don't look at your boyfriend quite the same way you do.  Your somewhat more passionate about him and want to make sure that whatever you get is something that he will be thrilled with and will be something that draws you closer together.  Am I right?

Have A Merry Christmas With A Kindle Novel

This Christmas I plan to be reading Christmas novels from my very own Kindle...maybe even sooner if the the "gods smile on me".  I've always been a big fan of reading and, while I have an iPad mini, I actually want to own a Kindle as well (I have my eye set on the Kindle Fire HD).

So what's with all the hype about these Kindle e-Readers?  Isn't a regular book that you can hold in your hands good enough?  Yes, and I still own hundreds and will continue to buy.  But there are some definite reasons to own an e-Book.

Get The Apple iPad Mini For Christmas

I have the Apple iPad mini and I absolutely love it!  My teens have been more into the Apple products than I have (I think it's a right of passage for teenagers or something) but this is my first time using them.

Oh sure, maybe the regular size iPad is easier to read and everyone has them, kind of like a belly button (lol) but there was a very specific reason I wanted the mini.

I wanted something that was very easy to type with because I work online a lot.  I wanted a tablet that fit a little more naturally into my hands and that would let me easily type, and quickly, without the need to carry a keyboard or prop it up on a stand or lay it down on a table (not always available).

My Recommended Computer Drawing Pad for Christmas

If your boyfriend likes to draw then why not consider buying him a computer drawing pad for Christmas? These graphic tablets do so much and there are so many options available, depending what you want it to do.

We recently purchased the Wacom Intuos 5 Touch tablet and are very pleased with it.  Made for both pc's and Mac's, this tablet offer the beginner many options that will allow you to create great pictures, designs, and even graffiti art (my teenager is into this and has come up with some great artwork).

We purchased the small tablet not knowing what to expect and plus it was on for a great price.  Even with this size, the sensitivity and ability to create projects quickly and easily was surprising and we soon had pictures and stickers printed just the way they appeared n our computer screen.

The Best Cologne Men Will Wear At Christmas

This is probably a hotly debated topic but everyone wants to know what is the best cologne that men (including your boyfriend) will actually wear at Christmas.

Sure, you can buy the "off-the-shelf" brand and save yourself a bunch of money but what you might get for your efforts is, "Gee, thanks.  That's...really nice."  And your hopes of buying a great present have just gone down the cologne drain.

But if you really want to get your guy's attention then get him something that he knows is not only from the heart but also from the wallet.  That way he will know that he is important and valuable to your and will gladly splash and wear whatever brand you buy.

The added advantage is that you are selecting the fragrance and will appreciate that he's wearing it for you.  It's also a great way to "mark your territory" (LOL).
