One cool cheap gift idea includes a remote control.
Finding a cool gift for a man often involves shelling out a lot of money. Conversely, many gifts under $25 rate low on the cool factor such as neckties, money clips and books. However, a number of cool gift ideas for men under $25 include remote controls, personalized lighters and sports-themed barware.
Remote Control
Every man prefers to be in control of the remote control, and a gift that won't bust the wallet includes a remote that controls more than just the television. These remotes that control up to five devices have a wide range of sizes and colors and they often price under $25 as of 2010. The remotes have the ability to control DVD players, Blu-ray players, CD players, cable boxes and home sound systems along with the television. Buyers doing some extra searching can also find novelty remote controls that look like "Star Wars" lightsabers, a golf course fairway and small footballs.
Personalized and Novelty Lighters
Even if the special guy doesn't smoke cigarettes, a personalized lighter remains an appropriate and cool gift. Many specialty lighters such as Zippo-brand lighters have a stainless steel outer shell, which allows for adding a name, phrase, initials, monogram or birth date. Other lighters come in various novelty shapes and designs such as a pocket calculator, a cell phone, small animals, a tube of lip balm or even a hot dog in a bun. The lighter comes in handy for outdoor enthusiasts or someone lighting a few candles for a romantic evening.
Sports-Themed Barware
Sports-themed barware comes in a variety of choices such as rocks glasses, shot glasses, pint glasses, bottle openers, keg taps and beer mugs. You can chose from professional sports teams such as National Football League teams, Major League Baseball teams and National Basketball Association teams. Barware also comes themed after large collegiate sports programs such as teams from the Big Ten conference, Big East conference and the SEC conference.
