Universal Remote

I went to somebody's house this weekend to grill out and have a bonfire. It was a fun group of people to hang out with and we had a lot of fun.

At one point during the evening, we wanted to turn music on via the television. I was asked to turn on the TV since the remotes were sitting next to me. Sounds easy, right? Not so much. The couple who owns the house has about 6 different remotes, each controlling one thing. It was so confusing that I had to give up!

I suggested the idea to Tracy that she should get John a universal remote as a gift. She was thrilled with the idea. She said she often gets confused with all the remotes that have to be used to perform simple tasks with the television. This product will make your life easier as well as reducing clutter in your home by reducing the amount of remote controls.

Shirts for Men

I feel like clothing is a great gift for men. Most men (at least all the ones that I know) don't often go out of their way to buy clothes for themselves. Unlike me, who uses retail as therapy when I've had a crappy day, my boyfriend prefers to turn to an evening with a 6 pack of beer, watching sports on TV. I could spend hours upon hours in a mall (and sometimes do) while he would rather have a root canal.

I found a fun and unique men's clothing website. The brand is called Wrath Arcane. The clothes they carry are not like any style I typically see in stores which I love! This shirt with a unique wrap collar.

Take a look around and see if there's something on there that you could give as a gift to a man in your life.

MX vs. ATV-Alive

I was looking for a great gift to give my significant other, Alex, for Christmas this past year. I ended up getting him this video game for his Play Station 3 from Best Buy. It's called MX vs. ATV Alive. It's a racing game where you ride dirt bikes. He plays it all the time, which really is a win win situation. (And aren't those the BEST kinds of situations??) :)

With him playing his game all the time, there is so much time for me to blog (one of my favorite pastimes), take baths, study, and watch my movies. All of that without feeling guilty.

Anyway, enough about me. I never thought I would say this but I enjoy the game as well. So much that Alex bought me a pink PS3 controller to play with him! I've gotten quite good. When in doubt with what to get a man, go with a video game. It's a guaranteed successful gift that he'll love!
