What's a good birthday present for a guy?

Range is like 50$ to 75$, he likes professional soccer, football, star wars and any kind of cool gadgets. Thoughts?

A foosball table with Star Wars characters dressed in football uniforms. It would probably be a little beyond your budget though.

blu ray player? A good new xbox/ps3 game?
In all seriousness, depending on your tastes, take him to a strip club. Most guys will appreciate that. They'll usually get treated better by the "staff" if they know it's his birthday too.

A good authentic/replica jersey, or maybe a hoodie, for his favourite soccer team (if he doesn't have one already). MLS Soccer teams are also known for having team scarves, and they usually come out with a new one for each season. For gadgets...A Roku box? Or something every day..a nice new wallet, maybe. Blu ray player is probably a good idea, or if he has one, a blu ray box set of his favourite TV show or movie series?

Roku box is a handy gadget that's right within that price range. If not then I'd go with a jersey or something like that. Roku is awesome though, and you'd get some use out of that.

Hm.. more than you'd probably care to hear heh - so let's narrow it down a little more:

Does he play VIDEOGAMES? (<- important question)

Does he like gun/knife stuff?
(I mostly ask because I've been shooting quite a bit lately, and have been seeing a lot of deals for that kind of stuff)
I also ask because I was getting a lot of ideas from my deals-added list (as well as a few other peoples) and there's quite a bit of sword/crossbow/stungun type stuff :)

Also, this being Deals.woot and all, you may be able to afford a FEW cool gifts for that price.. is buying a few gifts an option, or would that come across kinda creepy?

If he does like that kinda stuff I just got an AWESOME taser for $9 bucks :D:

Ok, I don't wanna spam like I did with the last list I contributed to, so I'll just post a couple/few cool things

1. DIY Camera $14 w/ free prime shipping
2. Quality Outdoor RF Helicopter $42
3. IF he games, a nice headset is great

Also, I'm a guy and I like stuff, so feel free to check out my deals-added It probably won't have anything that he'd want, but it might give you ideas.

[ed] Can't help myself: Mr. Beer, GPS, Leatherman, Batter Charger, Portable TV..
And apologies if this is out of line, but.. Love :D

Star Wars Legos seem to be pretty popular, fun activity.

The Star Wars landspeeder set is pretty cool and affordable. You could get this and something else:

I'm not even into Legos, but this X-Wing is awesome:

The best gift you could give a guy would not even cost you a penny... we are very base and simple; depending on the nature of your relationship of course... ;-)

I got my guy an RC Helicopter and electric razor for his birthday. He loved the helicopter so much, he'd play with it as soon as it's charged up. His friends are also getting choppers... boys will be boys.

@underinsomnia: Great idea! We'd fight over who gets to play with the helicopter though lol

If he's outdoorsy, knives and flashlights are always a good bet.

These are great, inexpensive knives:

This is a nice little flashlight for the price:

A word to the wise on the light, some flashlight snobs consider AA and AAA lights to not be 'real flashlights'. I prefer the inexpensive, off the shelf batteries though. If I can't find food for it in a gas station in the middle of the woods, it doesn't really belong on my Bat Belt.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
