    Help!Gift for men?
    Hello everybody!
    Don't you agree that it is much easier to buy a gift for a woman than for a man? For a woman even if you don't know her it is quite easy to find a gift. there are a couple of things that every women loves. But for men it is just too difficult. My brother has his birthday in 10 day and once again I have no idea what to give him! Anybody how can help? He is 25, likes football, the movies and online games.
    Any good idea?

    Best thing to get a guy for his birthday is probably a watch.
    Also, FYI, size of the face is EVERYTHING for a guy.

    I remember getting one of my friends this watch for his 18th.
    Of course, it depends on your price range, but, I find watches to be great gifts.

    Tbh if you know the guy, it's not that difficult. It depends how much you're able to spend too. DVDs and games are fairly cliché items but are OK, but you could also get tickets for something (football match, theatre show, comedy gig, band tickets etc), an 'experience' thing (rallying experience for example) or you could get him tickets for a day out somewhere like a zoo/theme park. There's loads of things!

    hm tickets for a theater or a concert is a very good idea! And I came up with another idea, I will check if I can find a cheap ticket to Greece or Spain with easyjet or ryanair for a weekend or so. And if I won't find anything I thing I'll just buy and give him a paysafecard as a voucher. So I have a gift and he can get whatever he wants

    I always give my brother concert or festival tickets because he has everything else but has no time to follow the concert news and organise festival trips. So I do this for him and we enjoy our time together or with friends.
    Did you manage to find any cheap flights in the end? I'm thinking about going to Greece after my exams but I guess I should have booked the flights earlier.
    What is that paysafecard? What is it good for?

    Thanks everybody!
    well the bithday was great and I hope my gift too. I decided to get him tickets to Italy, I think it is a nice way to pass a weekend. Plus it is unbelievable how cheap tickets are!
    @ Sagitta: If you are a bit flexible with the dates and with the island where you want to go, you'll definitely find something cheap.
    Now to your question, paysafecard is an online payment method. You buy a card for 10, 25, 50 or £ 75 and you can use the PIN to pay online. I like the idea cause there is no risk with your money and it provides anonymity (:P big brother).

    I was researching on Greek holidays and came up to such a conclusion: it's quite possible that you get stranded there because of the political and economical situation. The people strike all the time and I don't want to sit there and wait till the world gets better. Remember that crazy Icelandic volcano that blocked the flights in Europe some time ago? I got stranded in Norway for a month then. That wasn't fun at all in the end. I missed a lot at university.
    I've been thinking about going to Croatia. A friend in the dorms said it's very nice and cheap there.
    Paysafecard - never heard about it before but it sounds convenient for those who own no credit card. Are the fees high when you use it for online payment?

    Never been in Croatia, but from the picture it seems very nice. And it's probably cheaper than Greece.
    Wow one month in Norway? that's an experience! probably a quite expensive one Did you have to pay everything on your own?
    yeap!, psc is a very good and secure method. And if you are interested here a game where you can win PIN's http://www.paysafecard.com/uk/euro-2012/
    cheers!
