His and Her Christmas Shopping Guide



Ah yes! The festive season is finally upon us, so along with mulled wine, mince pies and mistletoes we also have to endure the hair tugging task of Christmas Shopping! So if slippers are no longer a family favourite or you still have a closet full of unopened briefs then this shopping guide is your saviour…
   
 FOR HIM...
 
His Boots’ Flexible Keyboard
Tap and type - Computer keyboard

Does he keep pulling keys off his keyboard?  This is one for the clumsy nerd in your life - a keyboard that twists, turns and generally acts in a flexible manner.  Woo and indeed hoo.

Price:
£18
Canon IXUS 960 IS Digital Camera
Snap happy - Digital Camera

With it’s super fast response, excellent image quality and high res LCD screen the IXUS 960 IS is the perfect camera for those festive action shots (Mum knocking over the Christmas tree after one too many sherries etc...).

Price: £239.59
Classic Wine and Savoury Hamper
Wine and dine - Food and drink goodies

Price: £35
Creative Zen Vision: M
Be lost in music - MP3 Player

Most MP3 players need updating and dusting down every couple of months to make space for all your new favourite tracks.  Not so with this superb 30GB number which has room for your whole record collection and probably your Dad’s too.  It’s got video playback too doncha know...

Price: £219.45
Gibson Acoustic guitar
For extra cool points - Acoustic Guitar

Ask any wannabe rock star what guitar they want for Christmas and chances are it’ll be a Gibson.  Pick this fella if you’re feeling flush and don’t mind your man hiding himself away for a few weeks before emerging beardier, smellier and claiming to be the next Pete Doherty.

Price: £1699
iPhone
Be the envy of all - Mobile Phone

Mmmm, iPhone...it’s pretty, it does fancy things, everyone will be jealous.  You know the score - it’s time to cast aside your iPod as a passe peice of rubbish and show off this little beauty.

Price: £269
Tom Tom Satellite Navigator
Never be lost again - Satellite Navigator

’I said left’ ’I know you said left but we’d already passed the turning’ ’no we hadn’t...’etc, etc.  Avoid those inevitable long journey arguments by grabbing your other half one of these handy Sat Navs.  They may not look thrilling to the average girl on the street but your bloke’ll love spending Christmas day experimenting by asking it for the best route to the pub and seeing if it can navigate to the end of the garden.

Price: £209

USB Digital Drum Kit
For the wannabe rock star - Digital Drum Kit

If you’ve longed to play the drums like Animal out of the Muppets, but you live in a terraced house with neither the sound proofing or space to accommodate that 24 piece Pearl kit, then this excellent value USB version is just for you.

Comprising 6 suprisingly responsive pads and two pedals, this small but perfectly formed setup gives you everything you need to make like the monkey from the Cadbury’s ad without annoying the neighbours.
 
The bundled software provides you with a range of samples so you can assemble your perfect kit or simply choose from one of the pre-defined sets ranging from rock god to jazz maverick.  Nice.

Price: £129.95

Voix MPX 2.1 Speaker System
Loud and clear - Speakers

If you want to be the don of all house parties then these sensational speakers are a must-have! The design is sleek, stylish and not as bulky as its stereo counterparts. And as for decibels (54W), well… you need not venture to Ministry of Sound…

Firstly, forget such speakers or gadgetry being targeted to men! Ladies, you need not worry here, the Voix MPX, only 1082 mm high, is straight-forward to set up, and more importantly to use. The two towers are controllable by remote control, thanks to its flashy sensor on the front panel. However, the clincher function of the Voix MPX would have to be the Split Channel Technology, whereby one speaker stand functions as both the left and right speaker – absolute genius!

Sound-wise the quality is super clean, expect no muffling or static interference/feedback. Quite simply, the Voix MPX is the Ferrari of sound systems!

Price: £269
 FOR HER...
