  When you choose a gift for the guy in your life, look for something cool. Because "cool" means different things to different people, you will have to consider the guy in question. For some guys, cool could be a music-related gift, or the newest thing in technology. Think about his personality, hobbies and interests when you start shopping for the perfect cool gift.
  
  

Record Player

• For a music enthusiast, choose a record player and a few records. While record players were the norm several decades ago, many people are starting to use them again because they believe the sound is more pure than the digital music form favored today. Many new record players can even transfer the music from a record to an mp3 form so he can listen to his records on his computer. Choose a record player and he may soon have a new hobby: record collecting.
  
  

Bar Items

• Choose bar items for a guy who enjoys having people over for parties or drinks. There are lots of different items available. For example, choose an assortment of different types of liquors, such as vodka, gin, whiskey and tequila. You could also choose some bar glassware, such as beer mugs, wine glasses, Champagne flutes or cocktail glasses.
  
  

Tickets

• For a sports enthusiast, you can't go wrong with a couple of tickets to a big game. Choose tickets for his favorite team or favorite sport.
  
  

Video Games

• For some guys, playing video games is about as cool as it can get. For the video game lover in your life, get the new version of his favorite game. He will be very excited to be the first of his friends with the new game. If his gaming system is outdated you could also give him a new system. Other cool video game gift ideas are speakers for his gaming system or extra controllers so more of his friends can play.
  
  

Clothes

• Girls aren't the only ones who like cool fashions. Choose a stylish shirt from a popular store, or a new pair of cool shoes. For a guy with laid-back fashion, go with a T-shirt. You can find T-shirts with funny sayings from television shows and movies in many stores and online.
