A PlayStation 4 or Xbox One
He’s probably already got a PS3 or an Xbox 360, but now is the time to upgrade to one of the next-gen machines. Both consoles have been out for just over a year, and there are plenty off terrific games for both. And as a bonus, it looks like there might be a price war looming – the PS4 recently fell below £300 for the first time.
iPad Air 2
There are loads of tablets around, from many different makers, but none is quite as good as Apple’s iPad, is it? And now we have the shiny new version, the iPad Air 2, to drool over. It’s ultra-thin, ultra-light, runs twice as fast as the previous model, features an anti-reflective coating with improved retina display and has a 10-hour battery life. What’s not to like?.
Oh, and don’t forget that there is also the new iPhone 6. He’d probably like one of those, too.

It’s the perfect wearable for kicking off that post-Christmas fitness regime.

Just keep in mind that this sporty-looking device is not the ideal gift for the couch potato in your life.

It’s the ideal appliance for when the boys come around to sit and watch whatever particular code of football they are into. Fun, fast and convenient, the Popup Hot Dog Toaster from Nostalgia Electronics will hold two regular-sized hot dogs and two hot dog buns at one time.

Tetris Stackable LED Desk Lamp
If your guy is in any way a gamer, then at some point in his life he would have played Tetris. In fact, he might even be playing it right now. So what better way to light up a room than with this seven-piece stackable, interlocking Tetris lamp? Simply connect one of the bricks to the mains power and then, as each new brick is placed in position, they will light up.

Samsung Curved TV
Remember how, back in the good old days of last century, all TV sets had curved screens? (They were also big and heavy and boxy, with cathode ray tubes at their core, but that’s another story.) Now the flatscreens we’ve got used to for the past decade or so are starting to go back to the curve – although concave this time, rather than the convex screeens of old. The jury is still out on whether the curved screen makes a lot of difference – many critics say that it doesn’t, while others say the curve adds a sleek, immersive dimension that’s missing on flat TVs. So, why not buy your man one and let him judge for himself?

Amazon Kindle
There are a lot of e-readers around, but none come better than the Amazon Kindle. There are several models to choose from – including the Touch, the Paperwhite, the Fire and the Voyage The best thing about the Kindle, of course, is the easy-to-read paper-like display. It’s also very easy to buy and wirelessly download books to the device – perhaps a little too easy.

It is a good article. I saw a leading international brand and technology provider of 208V Inverter. It is the best product in this industry. Micro Inverter Monitor is also available.
You cant assume all guys want an iPad. Why no Android devices on the list such as the new Google Nexus 9 – just as good as the iPad
