Let’s face it: the best gifts are more about want than need. They simultaneously create and satisfy a desire you probably didn’t even know you had. Necessities are great, but uh, you can only get so many socks and ties.
This holiday, it’s time to skip the lame gift cards and clothes for the guy who seems to have everything. Instead, surprise him with one of these items, he never even knew he wanted. He’ll remember them much longer than he’d remember the same recycled gifts he always gets.
Big Gay Bidet’s Bio Bidet TP-200 Portable Travel Bidet
Bidets have long
been popular in Europe and Japan, but they are finally making their way to
America as more and more people learn that not only are bidets more efficient
and hygienic than tissue paper, they are also more environmentally friendly.
They’re no longer stand-alone fixtures. Today’s home bidets are usually
built-in into the toilet seat, with fancy features like the ability to warm the
body and dry afterward. They can be a substantial investment, but most who have
them agree it’s a worthy one. That’s what makes The Bio Bidet TP-200 Portable
Travel Bidet such a perfect gift. It’s much lower in cost yet offers many of
the important benefits of the full-sized home models. It does not require
batteries and is instead chargeable through a USB cable that plugs into any
computer, wall outlet, even a car! A convenient carrying case is also included.
The portable will likely convince your loved one to upgrade to the full-sized
home model… but let them pay for it!

Pso-Rite Self-Massage Tool
Deep tissue massages have been found to be the most effective tool for releasing tension throughout the body. Unfortunately, most of us cannot afford an on-call masseuse. That’s where Pso-Rite comes in. Designed to replicate the hands and elbows of a therapist, the handy tool allows men and women to self-massage problematic areas away themselves. It works on the neck, hips, shoulders, back, and knees, chest, inner thigh, calf, shin, and rotator cuff. For athletes, using Pso-Rite for ten minutes before workouts improves performance by enabling an increased range of motion. Using it after workouts helps with recovery by introducing new blood flow and releasing toxins. Also, this holiday season, Pso-Rite is introducing its portable version, the Pso-Mini! Designed to replicate two fingers or the thumb, it works deep into muscles and can be used on sensitive areas, including the temples and jaws, back of neck, elbows, and the bottom of feet. It’s the perfect stocking stuffer!
Pso-Rite (full-size) is $79.97 and Pso-Mini is $13.99 at Pso-Rite.com
Addicted’s Flammable Ice Underwear Collection
Who says sports briefs have to be hidden under snow pants? This winter’s “Flammable Ice” underwear collection from Addicted is designed to transport men to the kingdom of their deepest and coolest fantasies. The collection features tight-fitting briefs, boxers, jocks, and long johns in bold primary colors and camouflage prints. Some have padded garments; others include faux fur; all include their new 3D spacer. What is that, you ask? It is two separate fabrics joined by a microfilament yarn. It creates a breathable, 3D “microclimate” between each layer of the brief. Heat and vapor leave the body, moving to the brief’s first highly permeable layer. Then, cool air provided by natural ventilation pushes the heat and vapor out, providing temperature control and maximum air circulation in the brief. It is water-resistant, highly breathable, and provides a solid and comfortable fit. All garments in the collection are finely and meticulously crafted by Addicted’s artisan team.
