Boyfriends Birthday
What Man wants for Gifts: Function not Fashion
Boyfriends, husbands and fathers are some of the most difficult to buy for when it is holiday or birthday time. Many children are taught from a young age to buy gifts that they themselves would enjoy and may not get on a regular basis. This is taught because often they are attending birthday parties of children their own age and gender. However, this approach to gift giving doesn’t always translate. Boyfriends, husbands and fathers have suffered enough from the endless photo frames, clothing “outfits” and random items that their well-meaning girlfriends, wives, and children gave them. Men enjoy items that are functional, in fact, the more functional it is, the more it is enjoyed. The Swiss Army knife is a perfect example of one small item that does so many useful things. When women start giving functional gifts to the special men in their lives, those gifts will spend less time gathering dust and more time being put to good use.
Technology. While each man has different interests, there are a variety of technological tools that can be fun and functional for the user. Smart phones, tablets and computers have limitless functionality, and any of which would make a perfect “Man Gift”. Remember to do some research into what he is interested in and what he has mentioned he would love to get sometime. That way you will know you are getting him something he will use.
Small Tools. There are also many small tools that have a variety of functions, such as multiple headed screwdrivers, wood finishing tools, and certainly multi function oscillating tools. Whether the man in your life likes working on cars, the home or even tinkering in the basement or garage, small tools can be a great option for something they can find many uses for.
Large Tools. Several large tools have many functions. Two specific examples are air compressors and tractors. There are varieties of attachments that can be added to both things that can make them do many things. For a tractor, there can be things added to the front and back to do heavy lifting, snow clearing or even gardening. They attachments make many tasks easier and can help the man in your life to be inventive about the projects he takes on. Air compressors also have a multitude of uses. With attachments like nail guns, staplers, sanders, sandblasters, spray guns, and ratchet wrenches, the possibilities are endless. It is important to keep the air compressors running well with a new air compressor filter and perhaps updating the air compressor with Ingersoll Rand compressor parts. With a new air compressor fiter or new Ingersoll Rand compressor parts even an older air compressor can feel like a new gift for the man in your life.
As you shop for the men in your life, remember to put yourself in their “functional” shoes and think about what may be useful for the tasks they enjoy doing. When you know what that task is, try to think of something that would make that task easier or more enjoyable.

A Face in the Moon $6.03 When two outsiders fall in love and struggle to find each other and their way in the world, their struggle is compounded by separation and madness.A Face in the Moon is a look back at those lost days when colors seemed more vivid and when being in love seemed the only thing that mattered. Jack Lohman is an inexperienced 22-year old who was recently dumped by his first real girlfriend, and is soon to leave graduate school for who-knows-what. Enter Loni, a bright-eyed, free-spirited 17-year old who has had more than her share of experience: she lost her virginity on her 14th birthday; has had more boyfriends and drugs than she cares to remember; as well as a nervous breakdown that she’s trying her best to forget. From the moment Jack meets Loni, his life begins to change. She teaches him how to laugh and makes him feel, for perhaps the first time in his life, that he can be loved without judgment. Yet, ironically, it is Loni’s harsh self-evaluation that paralyzes her, turning the carefree, uninhibited woman/child into a speechless, listless teenager who laments the days when life used to be more fun. Meanwhile, Jack loves her, but wonders if she’ll ever fully let him into her life. When a series of events keeps them apart longer than expected, A Face in the Moon becomes the story of whether their new love can survive the pressures of separation and madness. |

Another Rule Broken $19.63 Molly didn’t have the best start in life. She was born in Sydney, Australia, to Fiona, a 17-year-old who had no interest in raising her. But she was loved by her Nan, who reared Molly as best she could. The first three years of Molly’s life were spent with her mother at Nan’s house. Molly and Fiona finally moved into their own home, but there was a procession of boyfriends, beatings, hunger and neglect. The first time Molly ended up in hospital after a beating, she met Sergeant Thompson, who made it his mission to help Nan keep Molly safe. She was a delightful child who had a colourful vocabulary and a shocking temper. Nan died just before Molly’s fourteenth birthday, so Sergeant Thompson and his wife decide to foster Molly and eventually adopt her. Molly’s newfound happiness is shattered when her new mum dies, but she eventually comes to terms with her life and meets a young man who truly loves her. Happily ever afters are not always possible, but in Another Rule Broken, there is hope even when things seem their bleakest. |

How to Get Divorced by 30: My Misguided Attempt at a Starter Marriage $15 A hilarious memoir about the ending of a marriage that should have lasted forever-or at least for five years. It’s an age-old story. Girl meets boy. Girl marries boy. Girl decides she is way too young to be stuck in nuptial mediocrity. When Sascha realized that the one person she didn’t want at her thirtieth birthday party was her husband, she knew that it was time for the relationship to end. So, like the hordes of others of her generation for whom starter marriages are as common as Louis Vuitton knock-offs and $5 Starbucks lattes, they got divorced. With wit, moxie, and honesty, Sascha spills about the horrible ex-boyfriends, awkward dates, drugs, a near-death experience, and memories of growing up in an unconventional household that led to her short-lived marriage. A story of love, loss, a flat-screen TV named Ruby, and plenty of misguided decisions, How to Get Divorced by 30 is a hysterical look at what exactly “Til death do us part” means today . |
