Men are notoriously hard to buy for when it comes to Christmas and birthdays. If the man you are buying for plays a sport such as golf then buying for them is slightly easier. But if that is all you ever buy them, then wouldn't it be nice to buy something different this year?

I have been thinking long and hard about men and what they are like in general. I can only go on the men I have in my family and those I have met, and from this experience, and this is no dis to men, but most will agree anyway that they are all kids at heart. Give them a toy gun and suddenly they are back at the age of 9 pretending to be in the army and shooting anything that moves. When a father buys his son or nephew a toy he will always buy something he would have liked as a child. With this in mind I decided to see what type of 'men toys' were on the market, and there are a few.

Most men love their cars but sadly very few men get the chance to buy their dream car. Just because they can't afford one doesn't mean they can't admire one even it if is just a model. Most flashy cars can be bought in model form and many can be assembled ...
... themselves. Having a model of his dream car might just give him the incentive and ambition to succeed in life so that he can afford one for real.

If the man you are buying for loves of adrenalin rushing through his body, you can't go wrong with experience gifts. They cost a bit more but you are getting a day out that your man will never forget. One of the latest crazes is harness sphereing or zorbing. It involves one or two people being strapped inside a huge 12 foot inflatable zorb and then being pushed down a hill. The momentum will take you up to speeds of 30mph. There are places all over the UK which offer this thrill and that is exactly what it is, a big thrill. The reviews say that it is completely hilarious and is a must for adrenaline seekers.

Remote control cars or helicopters are a good choice. Even though they are built for children in mind, you really need to be quite skilled to operate them. This past couple of years have seen a fall in the cost of remote control helicopters and cars and they have been cropping up in stores at very affordable prices, and many of these have ended up in offices and factories up and down the country.

So if your man, dad or friend is about to have a birthday, why not think outside the box and think of a gift that he really would appreciate. I have only written about 2 or 3 ideas that I know the men in my life would love. But with a bit of imagination and some searching on the internet you should easily be able to buy the perfect gift for men who are still kids at heart.
Toys to You have a great collection of mens and kids toys including the popular RC helicopter and gundam model kits.
