Valentine Gift Idea For my hubby?
 

I'm not sure it is appropriate section. I just wanna ask for your advice here;
My husband is a is travel geek, but has everything he wants, too! He usually buys his Christmas or B-day present online, and then will hand me the delivery box to wrap and say it's "from" me. Makes it easy, I guess, but for once I'd like to surprise him. . . So I just wanna buy practical stuff say something related travel for him as this V-day gift. Is this camera the way to go? Any other good idea?

I would suggest an olympus stylus tough if you were looking for a point and shoot camera.

Maybe a pair of high quality in-ear headphones? Really nice for travel as it can cut down the noise around you.

If he's a Star Wars geek, a tauntaun sleeping bag. Might be handy for irrops. Seriously, Thinkgeek has some cool ideas, I hope you will be inspired.

I don't think most men would like purple cameras.

No Pentax. Get Canon if possible. Or Sony.

so what would they like?

I'm pretty sure a Canon G12 would ignite his senses.

I recommend the panasonic travel zooms if you want a compact, quality, high zooming camera. They just announced some new models to be released in march, the DMC-TZ10/DMC-TZ8. I just took the previous model, TZ6 on a trip and was wowed by picture quality and zoom range compared to my older Sony compact.

I recommend a Canon S95 for a great small travel camera. It is such a hit it was totally sold out all over the country after X-Mas and has just become available again the past few weeks.

if he does a lot of indoor shots and candids, you might want to go with camera that does low light, like the Coolpix 300

If he doesn't already have them, noise canceling headphones?

I wouldn't care what kind of camera my wife bought me, if it came prefilled with some classy yet romantic pictures.

Purple is out.. Most men have one thing on their minds though at Valentines. ;)

So what's the thing u refered to??:confused:

Of course, its' not what you give him that counts.. It would be you he wants to be with.. whether dinner, a chat, your company, your undivided attention, a special rekindling of the fire time.. etc.:) .. that would make it special.. the thing that aslanlab refers to.. but in real life. ;)
