Gifts for the Man in Your Life Under $200

Sometimes the man in your life can be one of the most difficult people to shop for during the holiday season. What should you buy for the one person that you are with most often? The main thing to consider when shopping for your guy is what he likes and enjoys on a regular basis.

Does he read alot? If so, you might look into getting him a gift card to his favorite book store or a year's subscription to his favorite magazine or even a copy of his favorite childhood book. If he enjoys Nascar racing you could look into getting him tickets to his favorite race track or a new shirt or hat with his favorite driver on it. Does he enjoy playing video games in his free time? Then you could buy him that new game that he's been talking about. If you are still drawing a blank on gift ideas then here are a few gifts under $200 for the man in your life.

The majority of men shave on a regular basis and many complain about it. Why not? We women hate shaving too. One complaint I hear the most often from my husband is that he hates his electric razor. So I guess it's time for a new one. Braun has come out with the 360 Complete Men's Shaver. This shaver has the Patented Power-Comb technology that lifts flat lying hairs to avoid missing any. This makes for a much closer shave in less time than it takes other shavers. That is sure to make your man happy and you too if you hate that itchy, pokey stubble as much as I do. The Braun 360 Complete Men's Shaver retails for $178.99 at Amazon.com.

This next gift is for the fisherman in your life. If your man loves to fish then you have probably heard all about and seen just about everything related to fishing. My husband has so many lures, hooks, lines and multicolored worms that there's just no way he could possibly use them all. Of course, he insists that he does and/or will use them all at some point or other. One thing that I've heard all about from him is his desire for a fish finder. The Humminbird PiranhaMAX 20 is a great fish finder. This fish finder has a high-contrast LCD screen with true 4-level grayscale for clear images or the fish, bottom and surround items. The PiranhaMAX 20 has a 60-degree dual-beam sonar in order to cover a wider area. This fish finder goes down to a depth of 600 feet so you will be sure to find those fish with ease. The PiranhaMAX 20 has an easy one-touch control, a compact size and also comes with a tilt and swivel mount. It runs on 10-20 volts DC power, with an output of 100 watts RMS. The PiranhaMAX 20 retails for $99.99 at Amazon.com.

Does your guy travel around a lot or just spend a large amount of his time in a vehicle? Maybe he has a long commute to work every day. If so, then he might enjoy having the Protron Portable DVD player to take along. This portable DVD player will play DVD, VCD, photo CD, MP3, CD and CD-R/RW formats. The Protron Portable DVD player has a 7 inch screen with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This portable player supports English, French and Spanish languages.
