What holiday gift do you get for a man who’s going away diving?

Snorkeling and in particular diving is getting extremely popular. More and more vacationers are finding that there are some stunning locations in various parts of the world where there is a great holiday to be had, and some sensational diving.

Now of course if you, or he, or both of you, are going to a wonderful destination why not bring back some great photos of your trip?

But it’s pretty hard to get photos of the diving isn’t it. After all, it’s all done under water, and unless you’ve got a dedicated underwater camera it isn’t easy.

Not any more. Now it’s possible to get a digital diving mask that takes digital underwater pictures, and video. It’s a breakthrough in underwater photography, which was once just the province of the professional, unless you spent up big on an underwater video camera.

The 5mp digital camera swim mask operates to 15 feet, with crosshairs on the lens so he can line up the shots he wants to record so that he’s looking at the subject. A LED display on the inside tells him if he’s in photo or video mode. Read more

He’s got a bad back. He’s going on holidays. Here’s a holiday gift for him.

So your man has a back that plays up and makes life hard for him. It’s painful, it’s unpleasant and it can spoil his holiday.

You’re going on a ski holiday with your favorite man and he has a problem. His feet freeze when he skis. Here’s a unique holiday gift idea to fix his cold feet and make him smile.

I love to ski. I spent many years skiing in France working as a ski guide showing skiers where the best skiing was. And I saw so many of them, men and women, with a particular problem. Cold feet.

Because of course ski boots are made out of plastic, and plastic transmits cold, so his (or your) feet get cold.

This is a quite unique holiday gift idea that fixes his cold feet problem, and yours if you suffer from it too.

Hotronic Foot Warmers.

Battery driven and rechargeable, they warm insoles so that his feet are toasty and comfy.

And not just for ski boots. They can be used in just about any shoe or boot, and one pair of Hotronic Foot Warmers can be transferred from one pair of shoes or boots to another in a snap.

So he’s not just able to ski in comfort, but if he has problems with cold feet anywhere else then that’s taken care of too. On holidays and at home. Read more

A Holiday gift idea that allows a stock market junkie to go away and still stay in touch with the markets.

I know there are many people who make a good living from trading the markets. And often they are tied to their computers all day, and when they go away they end up sitting in internet cafes or libraries trying to keep track of their stocks.

So a holiday gift that allows him to keep track of his stocks without a computer or internet connection, or even electricity, may well be the ticket for a man like that.

So here’s a good solution for a man who is reticent to get remote because he loses his contact with the markets. The wireless stock market reporter. The ideal holiday gift for the man tied to the markets.

It works with no need for an internet connection. It depends instead on the wireless remote paging system used by doctors and first responders, and works anywhere in the US. No need for electricity, it works on AAA batteries.

Here’s what it keeps track of: The Dow Jones Industrial Average, The NASDAQ and the Standard And Poor’s 500 Index, updating every 15 minutes.

Holiday gifts to ensure he has the best holiday, a healthy holiday.

Going on holidays is great, as long as you return healthy, and you’ve had a great time. Often you don’t.

There’s all sorts of unexpected problems on holidays. Things you never thought of, like getting sick.

And one of the most common ways of having a less than perfect holiday is to get seriously sunburned. I know, I’ve seen it happen. I spent quite some time in the UK. I saw over and over again the sun starved English going away in summer to the south of Spain, France, or any other hot sunny holiday destination, and within a day or 2 of arriving getting so sunburned that they spent the rest of the holiday indoors in pain.

Here’s a holiday gift that my help prevent that. Of course the best prevention is common sense, but this holiday gift idea may well play a big part in it.

It’s a UV protection sun hat. But not just any old hat, it’s a sun hat that is rated tops for UV protection, comfort and ease of cleaning. In tests by the California Polytechnic State Universitys Textile Research and Testing Laboratory it got the highest UV protection rating ever.

Holiday gifts for men who love to travel

Lots of people love to travel. Not just locally, but overseas. Are you and your man intending to travel soon? Need some good holiday gift ideas?

Maybe a short jaunt after Christmas, or perhaps an extended holiday overseas?

If so, or if he’s just one of those men that travels with work all the time, then there’s some gift ideas for you there. Holiday gifts.

How about a power adaptor as a holiday gift for him? You know the ones. They allow him to plug his shaver in when he’s in another country.

Not an inspiring gift? It allows him to shave when he mightn’t otherwise be able to, but otherwise I agree with you. Not an inspiring gift.

What about a power adaptor that allows him to shave in any one of 150 countries. Now that’s more like it. That’s a holiday gift!

And there’s more. Here’s a quote from the website:

“This is the lightweight, compact AC device that provides plug adaptation for over 150 countries throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas and Caribbean, and Australia. The plug configures to fit a variety of international sockets, and it has a built-in USB port that allows you to leave chargers for cell phones, digital cameras, iPod®s, and other devices at home. The device allows simultaneous AC and USB connection to charge two devices at once. An integral surge protector protects electronics from potential power spikes.”
