(StatePoint) Holiday
shopping is not always easy,
especially when you place a
premium on giving your loved
one the perfect present.
But this year, don’t let
shopping for the men in your
life stress you out. By pinpointing their interests and
shopping accordingly, you can
scratch this task off your to-do
list with ease.
Here are some great ideas
to get you started:
Home THeaTer Buff
Enhance your home theater
buff’s viewing experience by
beefing up his projector with
a newer model. For example,
Casio has just introduced a
new line of projectors that
feature enhanced connectivity,
improved audio, higher brightness levels and 3D capabilities.
You’ll be helping him cut costs
too, as the entire portfolio
eliminates the use of mercury
lamps, allowing consumers to
extend the longevity of their
projector. For more information, visit www.ShopCasio.
com.
If your man is completely
attached to his home theater
system, there’s no reason to
ignore this interest of his. Help
him beef up his video collection by signing him up for a
membership at www.filmmovement.com, which sends
your recipient one awardwinning movie each month
to keep.
THe reader
Modernize your reader’s
habit with an e-reader like a
Kindle Fire, Nook, or PRS-T2
from Sony. With one-touch
downloading of books, this gift
is especially appropriate for
the reader with an insatiable
appetite.
If you’re shopping for an
old-fashioned kind of guy,
you can still make his reading
experience an easier one with

Whether you’re shopping
for a serious musician or a
hobbyist, your gift recipient
will appreciate high-quality
equipment. For example, the
Privia digital piano line from
Casio is introducing four
new keyboards that have an
authentic piano feel, dynamic
grand piano sound, and all the
benefits of portability. The
PX-350 and PX-850 also provide the ability to record sound
files directly to a USB thumb
drive so rehearsals and performances can be easily captured
and shared. He’ll be belting
out seasonal tunes just in time
for that New Year’s party. For
more information, visit www.
casiomusicgear.com.
If you’re on a budget,
consider a gift that keeps on
giving. For example, a pick
punch, from www.uncommongoods.com, will allow him to
personalize the guitar-playing
experience with custom guitar
picks made from expired credit
cards and gym membership
cards.

Help your outdoorsman
streamline his backpack for
all those upcoming hunting,
fishing and camping trips.
The Leatherman Freestyle
Multitool from LL Bean, for
example, is a knife/fly fishing tool hybrid that includes
regular and needle nose pliers,
and wire and hard wire cutters.
You can help him get his
bearings with fewer gadgets.
For instance, a new Casio Pro
Trek watch, the PRW5100-1,
is not only solar-powered and
water resistant, but includes a
compass, as well. Additionally,
it reads altitude, barometric
pressure and temperature —
making it great for his next
outdoor adventure.
