"Guy gifts"?!

*DISCLAIMER: Most of the beginning of this entry is sarcasm (well, really just the part about the expense that people spend on material gifts for each other when all they should really have to do for each other is show love). Do not take most of my own comments seriously. Or, do, but keep in mind that this article seems pretty sexist to me.*

Yahoo Health News recently posted an article provided by Men's Health called "The Best Last-Minute Guy Gifts". They're pretty pricy, because we all know that guys have a thing for expensive gifts--it's not just for women and those diamonds anymore! The majority of these gifts are over $100, and they were listed from the #1 gift to the #5 gift (though it doesn't say if these gifts were in any particular order of demand or popularity) as follows:

1. Apple iPod Shuffle, $79
2. Nikon D40 SLR Camera Kit, $600
3. Garmin Forerunner 305 Heart Rate Monitor and Watch, $376
4. Cameron Detour Putter, $300
5. Dyson Root Handheld Vacuum, $150

This list (actually, the whole article) raises some questions for me.

1. Since when do gifts come assigned with genders?
2. Why does a camera kit, which most probably would be used purely for recreation, cost more than a heart monitor?
3. Who in their right mind would spend $300 on a golf club?

Here's the link to the actual article if you feel so inclined to read it in all of its sexist-ness:
