If a barking dog is keeping him (and you) awake it night here's what you buy him.

I know exactly what it's like. I used to have a barking dog living right beside me and I spent countless hours awake. There wasn't anything I wouldn't have done to get rid of that bark.

So if your man, and you, are being kept awake by a barking dog then a great gift for him is a barking dog deterrent.

Here's a great gift idea for a man who's being kept awake at night by barking dogs. An ultrasonic dog bark deterrent.

It looks like a birdhouse, so it's not unsightly, and it keeps dog from barking anywhere nearby.

How? It detects any local barking by dogs and emits an ultrasonic sound that humans can't hear but dogs can. The dogs don't like the sound.

So every time the dog barks he or she is hit by this dog noise, and after a while the dog starts to realize that "every time I bark I get this nasty noise, so maybe I should keep quiet to avoid the noise".

It works. It keeps his evenings and night times, and for that matter his day times, quiet. Ahh, for some peace and quiet.

So if you've been struggling for a gift for your man and he, and you, are going nuts from barking dogs, give him an ultrasonic dog barking deterrent.

The neighbours will be touched by your kind gift to the local birds. 

Get it from Hammacher Schlemmer, the best online mens gifts store in my view. When you get to their site just search "dog bark" there and you'll see that you have a couple of choices to deter barking dogs, indoors and outdoors.

After all, what better gift can you give to your man than peace and quiet. Read more

Does your man love looking good? How about a gift for him that makes him look good?

I've written before about belt buckles, I love belts, and shoes. Maybe it's a leather fetish.

But I do love the look of a great belt with a great belt buckle. I mention that because today I was looking at a website that features some hot belts and buckles, and like it.

You can get all sorts of belt buckles now. In the dark days of the past a belt buckle just held the 2 ends of your belt together, but now a belt buckle is a work of art in itself, and some of them look great.

And as well as looking great some buckles are also functional. I recently reviewed a belt buckle, for example, that was a golf tool as well.

Here's and example of a buckle that's useful as well as looks good. It's the first photo I've included.

Not only is it a great Red Sox buckle it's also useful, because it doubles as a bottle opener.

And for the man who loves his beer, what is he going to do if he's in need of a bottle opener and doesn't have one?

Whip off the belt and there's his opener right there on the end of the belt. Now that's a way to impress his friends!

I just love some of the belt buckles that they have, I think it's about the biggest range of buckles that I've ever seen, but it's not just the range, but the quality of the designs that I love too.

So many that I've never seen before.

But of course there's not just the belt buckles that they sell, there's belts as well. But one other thing caught my eye.

Along with belts, buckles and men's wallets, caps and sunglasses there's more.

I have also written about men's jewelry before as well, including men's wedding rings. Men of course don't wear jewelry way as often as women, but men do wear jewelry, and there's some great men's jewelry around. Read more

Is your man a well dressed fashion conscious man? Here's some hot ties for him.

Well dressed men are fashion conscious men. They love finding the latest fashion, they love wearing the latest fashion, and they love getting great clothes as a gift.

And that includes ties. Here's some of the best ties from Wild Ties. I just love their ties.

No point in talking about it, the ties do the talking.

There's some fine designs there.

Love those ties. Read more

What about gifts for smokers, after all, they need a gift too.

Everyone seems to be down on smokers nowadays, and I should admit that I too am a non smoker. However that doesn't mean that if your man is a smoker he doesn't deserve a nice gift.

And why not a smoking related gift while you're at it.

Perhaps a nice ashtray that might get some conversation going amongst his friends when they see it?

Here's a lovely ashtray from India. I love arty gift ideas from Asian countries, and I've written about Chinese gifts too.

But I love Indian crafts. Especially after visiting India and seeing some of the wonderful crafts that come out of that country.

So why not a beautiful Indian ashtray. Read more

Here's a great idea if he loves art, as long as you ignore the terrible website.

I've been perusing some art gifts and in particular one website which first took my attention. The artist contacted me about the artwork, warned me the website was terrible, and asked me to look at the artwork.

I agree, the website is terrible. But once I got over that I started to look at her artwork and decided I quite liked it.

The artist is Angela Kellett and her website is Man Cave Art.

She produces cut out wall hangings from Luan Wood. I've asked her a bit more about it as it interests me and so I'd like to know how she does it. Read more

Tennis gifts for 60 year old tennis players, not 21 year olds.

I've come across a tennis gift idea that I thought I'd pass along. It's not a tennis gift that you'd buy for a 21 year old guy who loves his tennis, but it is a tennis gift for perhaps a 60 year old man who loves his tennis.

Why a 60 year old tennis player and not a 21 year old tennis player? Because the 60 year old guy isn't as spritely as he used to be and, although he loves his tennis, may not be quite as agile on the tennis court as he'd like. Maybe he's got back problems, amongst other things.

Well at 60 you'd expect that wouldn't you. And not just for a 60 year old guy who plays tennis but for a 60 year old guy who plays just about anything, he'll be slowing up a bit.

So any gift idea that makes his day on the tennis court a little easier has to be welcome. And it will allow him to focus more on the tennis than, say, collecting tennis balls.

So here's a gift idea for an older man who plays tennis and has a little more trouble bending down picking up tennis balls all the time.

It's called the "Grip and Lift". It attaches to the end of his tennis racket and becomes, in effect, his own personal ball boy. Just pick up the ball with the end of the tennis racket and he doesn't even need to bend over any more. Read more
