Chip Chick
Here it is again, Valentine’s Day — the holiday most men believe was created by the greeting card and drugstore cartel. We dread this “holiday,” not because we don’t like to be romantic, but mainly because of the pressure we feel to purchase that perfect gift. We also know you’re expecting stale drugstore chocolates as a gift or for some of us to forget all together. But, what if this is the year he pulls through and kills it? How awkward will it be if he gives you an expensive, well-thought-out gift and you give him thermal socks?
Guys are notoriously hard to shop for; mostly we just want peace and quiet. To help the ladies (and in turn your men), your good friends here at Chip Chick have put together a well-rounded gift guide to make shopping for that perfect gift that much easier for you this Valentine’s Day.
For The Guy Who Misses His Toy Car Set – Anki Overdrive, $149
Anki Overdrive is an upgraded version of his childhood slot car racing set. It uses artificial intelligence to guide sleek robot cars around a vinyl track that you place on the floor. The cars are controlled with a smart phone (iOS or Android), which adds a video game experience to the race. The robot cars come with equipped with weapons like laser beams and traction control to gain the upper hand in each race. The only drawback is that you have to end the race to recharge the cars — otherwise, he could be playing for hours.
