The New Garmin Nuvi 1450 has FREE lifetime updates. If your man uses an old GPS unit, chances are his maps are outdated (hence, getting lost). Problem: The old GPS’ require paying for updates and no one wants to do that so the old units are pretty much… useless.

Roku 2 XS is basically Internet TV for ANY TV which allows you to stream apps such as Netflix, Amazon Video, and Pandora. It also allows you to play games such as Angry Birds with just a flick of the wrist with the motion-activated controller (similar to Wii controller). So if he’s a TV man, he’ll love this!
#4. Canon Rebel EOS T3i Digital SLR Camera
Find Canon Rebel EOS T3i – ON SALE
The Canon T3i is the hottest camera on the market for 2011 & 2012. If your man is a fan of taking pictures, he’ll love you for this one. (It’s on my list, too).
#3. Bose Soundlink Wireless Speakers

#1b. Kindle Fire Tablet
Find Kindle Fire – ON SALE
OK, so this one we all want. The Amazon Kindle Fire is the hottest new color touchscreen ereader we’re all drooling over. Watch Movies, TV, videos, read books, download apps… you name it.
Cool factor:
- It’s in Color (the original Kindle was not)
- It’s a Touchscreen (swoon)
- It Destroys the Ipad price…$199 vs. $899? (sweet!)
12/8/11 Update:
#1a – Apple Ipad 2 Tablet
Find Apple Ipad 2 – ON SALE
So due to some very upset men, we had to go ahead and add the Apple Ipad to this list. Here’s what men have to say about this one: ‘Ladies, if you really want to make an impression, get us the Ipad…we insist’.
So there you have it. The best gifts for men in 2011. Happy gifting!

As an alternative to the Bose speaker I would suggest a Sonos Play:3 or anything made by Sonos. It all depends on what your needs are, but if you are a little geek like me then the Sonos is king.
