Now that we have left the ‘naughties’, there are a myriad new gifts and gadgets on the market for the new decade. A basic PC or DVD player were the items of choice a decade ago. These are old news these days however and have been replaced by smaller, more digital products like video streaming boxes and netbooks. If youre looking for the best gifts for men then youll need to get with the times and find out what is really in vogue right now.Below are some of the most desirable products that will be on the shelves in 2010.

Micro RC Helicopter. Its difficult to see what is so advanced about a micro helicopter when compared to the old larger modules, but believe it or not they are completely different. You used to have to save up for years to afford an RC chopper, and you practically needed a full pilots licence to keep them in the air. You wouldn’t even dream of an RC plane as these were even worse. You can fly micro choppers however in pretty much any room of the house and the good ones can be controlled by even the most malcoordinated of users. All you need to look out for is braking a light or sharing the daylights out of the cat.

Next Gen Smart Phone. 10 years ago a phone was just that, something to make calls with…but now they do pretty much everything we desire. We can now browse the internet on phones, send and receive email, play games and even find our way via GPS. However, technology does not stand still and men especially want the most up-to-date gadgets to play with. Look out for more phones incorporating mini digital projectors, night vision recorders and even telescoping lenses attachments.

Netbooks. As with all gadgets, computers are getting smaller all the time. The laptop started to get so small that people decided to call it something new, and so the netbook was born. There used to be a large divide between the functions of laptops and the newer netbooks, but these differences are becoming less and less notice and it likely they will soon merge into one product again. Reductions in weight and increases in battery life are just some of the developments planned for a number of netbooks.

As we stagger towards the Christmas season, where it is better to give than to receive, (but you feel pretty peeved if your own reception is a bit poor) it’s often difficult (or frankly just too boring to bother) choosing a gift that will really, really be appreciated.Not just the grudging “thanks” through gritted teeth for yet another tie,jumper or equally useless novelty gizmo, but a real, heartfelt “ bloody hell – that’s fantastic!”.

But what Christmas gifts do you get to evoke that response? Well, since the office is where most of us seem to spend our lives passing the time and praying for those tedious hours in front of the PC to end or if you’ve just finished yet another time management course that overran, why not buy gadgets such as the brilliantly named Lifetimer, possibly the most interesting and interactive clock ever invented.It lets you keep track of the important things in life, like the amount of time left until your next holiday, your next tea break, your birthday, how long before you knock off work, even the last time you had sex – with another person!It’s astonishing how much time you can waste simply by pressing buttons to see how much time you’re wasting.Well, beats wine glasses for presents anyway.

If that sounds too much like boys gifts and you want something jest a little bit more useful for the girls, who as we all know are far more organised and efficient, then try something called Dead Fred. Fred shows you care, have a really warped sense of humour and are practical at the same time – attributes that are bound to make you irresistible to women!

Fred proves that you can put a pen down and stop it walking away. He’s made from soft silicone rubber, lies prostrate on the desk and makes a very natty home for your pen – and no, it doesn’t go where you’re thinking!It thrusts deep into his yielding rubbery chest where it remains quivering until withdrawn – another reason it will prove a hit with the girls!
