Buying gifts for men is always confusing. Most of them aren’t as thrilled by clothing or jewelry as women are, and gift baskets full of bubble bath and lotion are sure to earn you a puzzled look. For Valentine’s Day in particular, most of the stereotypical gifts such as flowers, candy, and teddy bears seem aimed at women exclusively. Unlike women, guys tend to have one or two narrow interests, and have already collected everything to do with that hobby on their own. Even if they don’t have everything, their hobbies are so confusing that only an insider who also practices the hobby could figure out what kind of gift to get for them. So what on Earth are you supposed to get your boyfriend (or husband) for Valentine’s Day? Most women go with the latest and most innovative new gadget, and this year that would be the Playstation Vita.
Your guy will love you for this gift. The Vita incorporate the latest technology, with a five inch OLED touch screen on the front of the device and a touch pad on the back as well. This is the first handheld gaming device with touch sensors on both the front and back, so just by holding it in his hands he will have a variety of ways to interact with the games. The Vita also has front and rear cameras, and dual analog sticks. It connects to both mobile broadband internet and wifi, so he can play with his friends no matter where everyone lives. If you both get Vitas you could play against one another as well. There are PS Vita hacks already on the internet, for improved gaming experience, and all of Playstation’s most popular gaming franchises will be producing games for the Vita.
If you want to be sure to get a Vita for that special guy, make sure to pre-order one now. The game will be released on February 15, so you may want to schedule your Valentine’s Day celebration for the weekend afterward just to be sure you have his gift ready. Otherwise, you can give him the pre-ordering receipt and he’ll probably be so thrilled to know his Vita will be arriving any day that he won’t even mind that it hasn’t been delivered yet. This is the gift he’s sure to appreciate, and he’ll remember it next time he passes a jewelry store!
