Valentine’s Day is not one of those days for men to look forward to as they are required to spend a lot in flowers, chocolate and to sum it up, dinner at an up-market restaurant. In return, the men receive socks, ties and boxers as gifts.
As we mark Valentine’s Day, the CIO East Africa team decided to give you choices of what gadgets to buy for your man that are in relation of his daily activities and to supplement his electronic portfolio so that he can always look forward to Valentines Day. Here goes…
Digital watch: This is just not the normal watch that costs less than Kshs 200 and can be picked from the street vendor at the corner of an alley. This is more of a James Bond device suited for a scout, a navigator or a soldier just by its capabilities.
This watch has various features including an altimeter, a barometer and a compass for his outdoor leisure while it can also help him plan for dates, you know he never remembers your anniversary lest your birthday.
The watch can also offer details on temperature, has details as to when the sun while rise and set. In short it is a good gift for him to show off while with his boys.
Wireless charger: Men and gadgets where do we start. Various gadget manufacturers especially smartphones have availed wireless chargers. For you as a woman the advantages of this include that you can finally stop complaining of wires lying everywhere minutes after cleaning the surface.
Even better this charger can help you reduce your electric bill as they have an energy efficiency of 90 percent as compared to the wired charger that has an efficiency of just about 50%, this does not include the Chinese counterfeit chargers in the market.
Secondly a wireless charger reduces dangers such as electrocution while it comes to contact with water a hazard for your children
Also wireless charging systems have an auto-off feature, which reduces the current to a trickle when a battery is fully charged preventing damage to the battery thus it lasts longer.
Digital Camera: Men will be okay even if you buy them a 30 year old Pentax professional camera. However this time round how about you take him away from his hunting civilization thinking and get him a digital camera with internet connectivity.
Much as men will not be fond of sharing their pictures with you on social media they will always fight to showcase their skills and expertise to other men. So think of this present as more of a present for yourself, you can finally have 1000 photos with him and you can finally enjoy accompanying him to a football game in the stadium just to take pictures.
Wireless headphones: yes they cost a lot more than the wired ones but equally have better technology and performance. When watching movies or listening to music on an iPod more than one headset can be connected hence you can ‘have more time with him.’
Some wireless headphones can also be receive calls hence he doesn’t have any excuses of not picking your phone calls any more.
A small drone: Wait, I know you may have seen “24″ the series, not those. I mean something small that can even fit in his knapsack while fully assembled and cost about anything starting from Kshs 25,000 but will require families with some compound space. This drone can be fitted with cameras and paint ball guns thus you can face him off in a paint ball game. You know boys and toys you can have him all weekend to yourself.
