Great toys for men in their 20s

What is that they say about us boys and our wonderful toys! I am no longer in my twenties but I have the heart of a twenty-something and have some definite input on the subject. Let me begin by saying toys are what separates the girls from the boys, and coming from the male perspective we are all big kids despite the grown up exterior.

Video games are probably at the top of my list since every man on the face of the planet no matter how much he denies it can’t resist shooting, driving or playing virtual guitar. Personally I am pretty hooked on the latest Guitar Hero, which the entire series is a must have for any man who ever dreamed of being on stage with his Axe in front of a thousand screaming fans. Racing and sports games are a given since almost every man has a preference whether it be golf, fishing, or full contact sports. Video games are also an excellent outlet for us to pound out our frustration stemming from a bad day at work, whether we are sniping on a military mission or just beating the crap out of some virtual opponent.

Sporting equipment is pretty self explanatory but a membership at a golf course or even a pass for the day at a nice club will be a sure fire pleaser for any man of golf. Any new replacement for all the other sports equipment is also safe bet because only God knows we can’t live without a new hockey stick to add to our collection.

Now I move onto the electronics department. If it has batteries and it does anything by the push of the button we must have it! I say this literally as a self-professed electronic junkie! GPS Navigation, Satellite Radio, Cameras, MP3 players, the list can keep going on and on and so does my inventory of gizmo’s and gadgetry I have accumulated over the years. Just check out the latest cool electronic toy and that will put a smile on any man’s face!

Big toys are what all men really crave even though the budget might not comply! Motorcycles, ATVs and anything that growls and roars at the twist of the throttle. It goes to saying that almost anything with a motor will be the ultimate gift and will guarantee a endless seas of foot rubs or candlelight dinners. Whether it is a snowmobile or a jet-ski, these are the dream toys that anyone in their twenties will not be able to say “no!”

Lastly I introduce the collectibles. Hockey cards, action figures (no not dolls), and any memorabilia that stems from our childhood can usually be a good gift idea. I again admit to be a closet Transformer fan, who admittedly has not given up collecting. These long lost icons of our youth make us feel young again, and if you don’t believe me; just watch your husband as your son opens up his gifts as though he is already imagining himself playing with it! We might not admit it out loud, but we love toys and probably always will!
