I'm Lani. I live in Austin, Texas (jealous?). I am the New Media Director of Single Pointe Realty (and AgentGenius.com). I keep this blog as my personal take on the market, the business of Real Estate, and the agents that make up the profession from all over the nation. Because I am not a licensed agent- I write commentary from the unique perspective of part consumer, part insider. Oh, and I have a ridiculous affinity for cheese.

2007 Hot Gifts Guide- For HIM

Okay ladies, there are only 50 days left until Christmas!  You didn’t know?  Okay, well I’m here to help by introducing my top 10 MAN GIFTS in many price ranges that will stun the father, husband, son or friend!  Guys, relax- you’ll get the CHICK GIFTS list soon (not like you were going to shop this week anyhow… you know I’m right). ***Hint- read the easter eggs (messages as you roll over images) to get more insight.

MEN- tell us which of these you want/love/need so we make sure we’re shopping in the right direction!

this shirt is dead sexy!!!REALTOR SHIRT

I’ll start of with my favorite item on the list- girls, if you’re married to a Realtor (like I am), this is a required gift for the 2007 season!

accidentally eating glass this winter?  what a coincidence!EDIBLE SHOT GLASSES

These are just too fun for the holidays!  Even if your man isn’t a drinker, these are even fun with milk.  We recommend these for your office party- talk about shakin’ things up!

i’m totally callin’ the cops n stuffUSB LAPTOP ALARM

You know your man is uber protective of that shiny mistress we call a laptop, so since you can’t beat it, join it!  His laptop has a USB outlet that this alarm simply fits into and emits a loud alarm when mishandled.  If he is in a high volume office or frequently goes to Starbuck’s and trusts his laptop while he uses the restroom or walks around on the phone, this is the perfect gift!  You’ll prove your thoughtfulness for sure!

ladies, this remote might actually REPLACE you… watch out y’all!SEXY REMOTE

Boys and toys, huh?  This is a 6-in-1 remote that has the feel of an iPhone.  It’s sleek, shiny and totally useful- forget finding a basket for all of those freakin’ remotes!  Perfect for the family with a media room. 

perfect for your 007WIRELESS WEB CAM

For the podcaster in your life, this is a pricey web cam but it’s wireless, tilts and has all the bells and whistles your podman needs!

weight with a jedi mind trick to it!MONOGRAM PAPER WEIGHT

This is one of the most artistic gifts out there- it will spark up conversation with anyone that passes by his desk and he’ll think of you every time!

superman ain’t got nothin’ on these glasses!GOLF GLASSES

If your husband is a golfer and isn’t quite on the PGA tour yet, get him these glasses- it filters colors to make the white (or yellow) golf ball stand out so he doesn’t have to waste all that time digging in the woods, water or reeds for that stray ball.  This is sure to be his favorite gift if he even tries golfing!

oh how gentlemanly!VALET & CHARGER

Tired of the pocket change, cell phone, iPod, cash, wallet, watches, business card holder, and pens floating around the house?  We all know that guys have tons of crap they empty from their pocket and who can blame them?  They don’t have the pleasure of having a purse like we do, so simplify things for him and give all of these items a home- a classy valet that every gentleman should have.  BONUS- this valet has a charger built in so he doesn’t have to dig for that extension cord for his cell every night!

roses are red, violets are blue, my ears are warmEARPHONE EAR WARMERS

These earphones are perfect for your iPod (or iPhone) and are specially fitted with ear warmers making this gift the thoughtful present for cold weather joggers or southern winter gardeners.  Heck, your guy might even use them in the car just because it’s so COLD outside around Christmas!

keep on giving- like the energizer, ya’ll!OF THE MONTH

What’s of the month?  Beer of the month, Necktie of the month, Ice Cream of the month and more!  This gift is an easy choice for the picky guy in your life and this gift doesn’t stop giving after the gift wrap is torn away.  Take your pick- you’re sure to win him over!

***********
So, guys- how’d I do?  Did I come close?  And for my husband- any hints you can give me as to which of these you want would be greatly appreciated (since I can see buying them ALL)!!!

    Love the wireless web cam and paperweight! I usually buy my man (that guy Reggie over at MyTechOpinion)-clothes. Love to shop for him and watch him get compliments on the jeans he said cost way too much. Who’s crazy now!?

    Anyway, have you checked out “www.excitations.com” for the gift experiences. There is everything from making your own wine to figther pilot training! Just fun to check out and see what’s available in your area.

Looking backwards is so “life in reverse.”[…]

Bubble Gum with Kris Berg

Without giving too much away, it involved a party, a Tall Scotch & Water with a Twist (or ten), midnight munchies, a drive-thru window, assorted food products named “Jack” (Bonus, Breakfast), two Super Tacos, a large order of fries and a couple of regrettable hangovers. Steve is such a romantic![…]
