Last Minute Valentine’s Day Gift from the Man Cave.

By on Monday, 7th February 2011

We are coming down to the wire for Valentine’s Day. Statistically, men procrastinate far more than women. The busiest selling day for Mother’s Day is the day before. But a growing number of women are joining Procrastination Nation. Even with amazon reminders and ProFlowers emails we are all busier and even more distracted. Just in case the statistical norms apply to cave guys (and even the occasional gave girl) we have put together a last minute gift guide. Maybe next year we will all have our shopping done way ahead of time, but we have to make it through this year first!

We will start with gift ideas for the statistical procrastinators.

Last Minute Gifts Ideas for Her

Lady Gaga Heartbeats Headphones

Lady Gaga Heartbeats

Heartbeats have bling by Lady Gaga, and sound by Dr. Dre. These headphones have sound quality that any cave man can respect, with fashion that she will love. With club caliber bass, crystal clarity and power that lets you hear every essential note, no other headphone looks or sounds like Heartbeats. Overnight shipping from amazon will get these to her on time.

Apple iPod nano 16 GB Pink

Girls do love this gadget. And even if your cave girl already has one, she would still love to have a special gift from you. The 16 GB has capacity for 4,000 songs, 14,000 photos, or 16 hours of video. Just pick one up for her at an Apple store or Best Buy.

Paul Frank Silicone Case for iPod touch 2G

There is just something about the cheeky little monkey. I’ve never met a girl that doesn’t like Paul Frank’s Julius. So maybe your cave girl already has an iPod, then she would love a Paul Frank iPod case. Overnight shipping might be the course of action for this late entry.

ProFlowers (800.580.2913)

This is a gimme. You almost have to do flowers. Her gratitude factor increases when friends or coworkers see the flowers delivered. Send them to her work or get creative about where to send them for the exponential gratitude factor. Flowers do get tricky the closer to the 14th. As tempting as the guy selling flowers in the median may look, his goods will not help your cause. ProFlowers offers overnight delivery to get the flowers in time. The flowers last a long time too. I have ordered these several times and have never been let down.

Lingerie

Another Valentine’s Day gimme. And a very easy one to pick up last minute. This is the gift that we look forward to unwrapping. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Although this an easy last minute gift to pick up, don’t wait too long or your selection will be limited. Discreetly check her size before you head out to the store. You also might want to round out the gift with some lotions or bath salts. Check the scents of the lotions she already has to ensure a good pick.

Oakley Dart Sunglasses

Top notch girls deserve the best accessories. OAKLEY DART™ sunglasses are highlighted by the smooth contour of a single continuous lens. The crystal clarity of its wide peripheral view is possible only with HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®). Extended lens coverage helps protect eyes from the sun’s damaging light, and not a single ray of UV makes it through the optically pure PLUTONITE® lens material. Sunglass Hut or an Oakley store can save your bacon at the last minute.

Moleskine Classic Red Notebook

Ah, the journal. The lock box of secrets. Moleskine makes old-school, high quality notebooks. She will enjoy this little gift for quite some time. It can be used for writing down all the great things you have done for her, or for finalizing your naughty list. This can be picked up last minute at Barnes & Noble.

Oakley Women’s Holeshot Diamond Edition Watch

Genuine power, with a touch of princess. This special edition of Oakley HOLESHOT features 60 full cut diamonds, one for each priceless second of time. With approximately 0.5 total carats, the 1.20mm stones are color “F” with clarity rated at TW/P1. Each timepiece comes with a certificate of authenticity. This gift is tough, sporty and good looking. Kind of like Cameron Diaz in “There’s Something More About Mary”.

Last Minute Gift Ideas for Him

Golf Club: Driver

Picking up a driver for your guy is a no brainer, unless he doesn’t golf. We love it when you take any interest at all in our hobbies. Look in his golf bag and check out his driver to get the right one for him. You are looking for loft and flex. Loft is the angle of the club face which controls how high the ball will travel when hit. There will be a loft number on the bottom driver (9, 9.5, 10, 10.5). Flex is also important and will be noted on the shaft. Flex will be shown as senior, regular, firm or stiff. Don’t worry if you get it wrong, he can always exchange it and he will love that you got him something from his sport. That really does mean a lot to us. Your local golf shop will be able to help you make a last minute selection that will be a big hit.

OAKLEY PROBATION Sunglasses

Cave dudes want to look cool wearing a great pair of sunglasses. OAKLEY goes beyond a great look with a durable design with a premium finish. There sunglasses will be appreciated by him for a long time. While it may be seen that you are controlling what we wear, we won’t mind being manipulated if we agree with the “suggestion”! Stop by an OAKLEY store or Sunglass Hut and make his day.

Apple iPod nano 8 GB Silver

Guys love gadgets. Period. If men were fish, gadgets would be illegal bait. And even though I have a few iPods I really appreciated it when my cave girl gave me a new Nano. The latest iPod Nano has a radio, which is great for listening to ESPN while at the gym on the treadmill. It also has a built in pedometer and syncs up withNike+ very well. The video camera is really cool too. This is another no brainer for your cave man. A quick trip to the closest Apple store or Best Buy will get this gift in time.

Leatherman Skeletool CX

Guys never really outgrow the liking of pocket knives. Leatherman has led the way in combining our love of pocket knives and tools. The Leatherman Skeletool CX has a great mix of the most commonly used tools, plus it has carbon fiber in the handles. Mmmmm, carbon fiber. It makes the knife strong and light. And really, really cool. REI or your closest sporting goods store will have this gift ready for you.

OAKLEY HOLESHOT Watch

Pretty much everything OAKLEY makes is bulletproof, but their watches go above and beyond. The HOLESHOT is as indestructible as it looks. James Bond would gladly trade in his Omega for this better looking workhorse any day. OAKLEY’s watches are tough, good looking and unbelievably well constructed. Built to outlast. I know this cave man would be glad to sport one. Sunglass Hut or an Oakley store can keep you on time with this gift.

    I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

  8. Carlyn Blog says:

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

  9. Daisey Blog says:

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  10. Sherman Blog says:

    If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

    If your husband is anything like mine it’s anything electronics or video games. I plan to buy my husband the Google TV through DISH. I work for DISH so I got a chance to play around with it and I loved it. So it’s like having a present for me too. I am able to integrate my DVR with the Google TV, so I am able to access my DVR from the Google. My husband can sit on the couch and watch his football games and with a click of a button switch to his fantasy football leagues without even getting up. I think he will love it!
