Here are a few fun gift options for the son, brother, husband, father or friend (aka gifts for the men in your life).

The PS4 is an amazing and multi-dimensional product. Obviously it’s a great video game console but it also takes entertainment to the next level. With apps like Netflix, HBOgo, Spotify, YouTube or Amazon; you barely need a cable a provider to have the full package.
The Chromebook is one of the cheapest laptops you’ll find on the market. Nevertheless, it has the power and features that any average college student would need. (Except for maybe those computer science or video editing majors!)
In this new era of wearable technology, Microsoft is innovating with the Band 2. It’s the perfect product for anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle, with features like a heart rate monitor or tracking systems for golf, for example. It’ll even monitor your sleeping habits!
Reading books is outdated, even reading ebooks is getting old! The new trend is to listen to your books. With Audible, you can listen to anything from fiction novels to your textbooks (but you’re not going to do that last part) and you can do so anywhere! Whether you’re commuting, working out, or going to sleep; you can be “reading” too.

Same idea as the spice rubs from above: elevate your meals – specifically your meat dishes. You have no idea how much better that steak will taste after you’re marinated AND tenderized it!
