3G2S "Top Picks" 2012 Holiday Gift Guide for Men


1. Pelican ProGear™ U105 Urban Laptop Backpack ($139.95) - This backpack is great for anyone who wants to provide maximum protection for their 15" laptop, but it is especially perfect for someone who needs to carry specialized tools, in addition to the laptop, for IT work.  There are loops on the interior and exterior for things like screwdrivers and flashlights.  The laptop compartment is completely surrounded by an armor-like rigid case, plus has a beefy Velcro strap to hold the laptop in place.  There is even an additional protected pocket on the front for a tablet.  The padded straps are completely adjustable for maximum comfort.  If you know a man who is rough and tough on his backpack, then this super-industrial water-resistant Pelican ProGear backpack would make the perfect gift this Holiday.  Overall, this backpack measures 12-1/2"W x 20-1/2"H x 9-1/2"D.  To learn more about this and other Pelican ProGear products, visit www.pelicanprogear.com.


2.  Popular Mechanics Books ($24.95 each) - If you are shopping for a man who loves science and technology, then the many non-fiction Popular Mechanics books might be the perfect gift for him.  For my husband, who is a huge fan of Popular Mechanics Magazine, I chose . . .
I think these books would be of interest to both scientific-minded men and women.  For my husband, his favorite book was the Complete Home How-To book.  This book really does cover everything, plus the information is timeless.  I think this book would be a winning gift for any homeowner.  Visit www.sterlingpublishing.com to see more Popular Mechanics books.

 Author Gregory Benford will also be in NYC Nov. 28 for “Pride: Flying Cars and Other Broken Promises.” You can get $10 off w/code PRIDE12: http://bit.nyas.org/Uys5si.


3.  SOL REPUBLIC Tracks HD V10 Anthem Headphones ($149.99) - My husband fell in love with these headphones on the first day that he used them.  He found them to offer high quality sound through all ranges, plus deep deep bass, which is a huge plus for him.  In addition to being super-comfortable and very adjustable, these headphones in the Anthem Edition colors are extremely cool looking.  The first day he wore them at work, he had 5 people stop to ask him what type of headphones they were.  These headphones come with a neoprene carrying case and is packaged inside a very attractive ready-to-wrap box. The SOL REPUBLIC Anthems are every bit as nice as Beats by Dr Dre at a significantly lower price.  To learn more about these and other SOL REPUBLIC headphones, visit www.solrepublic.com.


4.  Philips Norelco Do-It-Yourself Hair Clipper Pro ($39.99) - In between haircuts, my husband trims his own hair.  He also gives our two boys haircuts once every month or two and does a pretty great job.  Of course, how well he does depends directly on the tool he uses, so he was excited to try out the Do-It-Yourself Clipper Pro.  He found it to be a quality product, but since it is different from what he previously used, there was a learning curve involved.  By the time he was cutting our second son's hair, my husband had begun to grow comfortable using these new clippers, the various length settings, and the 180 degree rotating head.  Each charge holds an hour's worth of power.  Another plus is that these clippers are 100% waterproof.  To learn more about these clippers, visit www.usa.philips.com, where you can download a manufacturer's coupon to save $5 off selected Philips Norelco products.  Currently, these clippers are selling on Amazon.com for $34.99 with Free Super Saver Shipping plus a $5 off coupon.


5.  Gola Redford Men's Daypack ($50) - This is a sporty retro style shoulder bag for men.  My husband used to carry a nylon hiking daypack when he was younger.  He could get away with it back then, but now something like that would just not go with his shirt and tie or even with a golf shirt.  For that reason, he has not used a bag for many years and was quite excited about the idea of carrying one again.  This bag is roomy and durable.  Measuring approximately 17"x12"x4", this is the perfect bag for when a backpack is too much.  There is enough room to hold a padfolio, file folders, a tablet and more.  My husband thinks that it would also make a nice compact gym bag for holding a towel and an extra change of clothes.  There is also a comfortable adjustable shoulder strap and a zippered pocket inside that is nearly the full length of the bag.  The Gola Redford in Navy/White currently ships free within the U.S.  Visit www.golausa.com to learn more about this and other Gola bags.


Although complimentary product samples were sent to facilitate this gift guide, all opinions expressed are my own.

"Get Cool For School" Giveaway #15: Kushies My Bag, Lefty's GC, Doodle & Goo Dress [CLOSED]

Get Cool For School! Giveaway #15

Go to all Get Cool For School Contests



Please take a moment to meet our sponsors . . .

The year 2003 was notable for Kooshies. In 1988, the name was spelled "KOOSHIES". This name had been successfully registered with a worldwide trademark. However, there was opposition from a company registered in the United States and over a ten-year period, without any real progress, the parties finally reached a settlement early 2003. Sam realized the solution would be to change the spelling. That year the corporate logo, labels and packaging were changed to "KUSHIES".


Kushies Baby USA is now located in Niagara Falls, New York and the Stoney Creek Ontario location houses state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and over 200 staff. A meticulous inspection standard for the ever-expanding product lines, which currently stands at over 350 baby products, ensures the continuation of the company's high quality standards and continuing popularity.





Lefty's is the online store of Lefty's San Fransico, which opened in 1978. They offer a wide variety of products specially designed for left-handed people, including items for the kitchen, office, school and garden. Lefty's also has a selection of gift sets if you are looking for a great gift idea for the lefty in your life.




The Princess's Mom, Jodi Murphy, founded the company, Doodle & Goo, which became dedicated to creating beautiful, couture clothing for all the little princesses throughout the land! Doodle & Goo began creating custom clothing and personalized attire, made-to-order, for all those who contacted them. The kingdom became well-known for being beautifully dressed and for their excellent customer service and they all lived happily ever after!
