3 Of The Hottest Christmas Gifts Of 2007 For The Older Man

So your man isn't as young as he used to be. Like me perhaps, he's on the wrong side of 50. And you're in need of a great Christmas gift for him.

Here's 3 Christmas gifts that will, or should be, the hottest Christmas gifts for this year for older men like me.

1. The LP to iPod converter.

If he's anything like me he's got a bunch of LPs at home that he still loves. Maybe a little scratched, maybe a bit too well played, but he loves them all the same. Lots of "older" men like me have a secret cache of LPs that they wouldn't be without.

It's just that it's not so easy to play them any more. If he's still got the equipment then fine, but mine is broken now, and not easy to fix.

And with the current wave of iPods and portable listening devices taking over our listening habits are changing too. We don't listen the same way any more.

So how about a turntable that converts his old LPs to modern portable music by allowing him to play them on his iPod? And if he hasn't got an iPod then even better, buy him both and he can listen to his old favorites whenever and wherever he wants.

And as well as recording his LPs to current formats via his computer, it also comes with software to remove those annoying pops and crackles that just seem a part of LP music.

Get it at Hammacher Schlemmer. There's a stack more information there about the technicals, I won't bore you with it all here but for the technically minded it's all there to read. Do a search on their site for "LP converter" and you'll find it there in no time.

2. Acoustic Earwarmers.

The older you get the more you seem to feel winter. How about some earwarmers? But not just any old earwarmers, but earwarmers that are acoustically designed to allow sound through so he can hear fine.

It's so annoying when you wear any form of earmuffs. You have warm ears but can't hear much, and annoy everyone by asking them to repeat what they say.

Not any more if you give him a pair of acoustic earwarmers.

3. A Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor

If he has a blood pressure issue then it pays to monitor his blood pressure. And he can do it any time he wants by wearing a blood pressure monitor on his wrist.

Not just any old monitor, but a high quality monitor that uses the same methodology as the methodology recommended by the American Heart Association.

You never know, a gift of a blood pressure monitor may just be the best gift you've ever given to him!

So there's 3 gift ideas for Christmas for your man. They may or may not be the hottest Christmas gift ideas of the year, but they're certainly worth considering for a Christmas gift for him if he's an older man.
