Difference between men & boys is the cost if thier toys

The difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys, or so the old saying goes. If you consider a car to be a toy rather than a vehicle, than that adage certainly holds true. However, I find that this saying is equally true of the childlike wonder many of us men seem to have towards anything that can help us do something we would otherwise not be able to do, or indeed, anything which does something we have never seen been done before.

It is why grown men post ‘un-boxing videos’ of products they’ve just bought online. Yes, some might be bragging about the latest pro camera they’ve just bought, but I believe it boils down to this wonderment at the marvels of technology, and of things, objects.

Fathers would tend to already have a certain amount of stuff, so the question often is – what do you buy for the man who has everything you conceivably think they might need?

Smartphones are all the rage nowadays; indeed, they have become a sort of necessity if you want to keep up with the modern world while on the go. While some men readily embrace their functional, €20-phone that can make a call and has a radio, as my father’s generously short requirement list for a phone reads, many men already have a phone that can connect to the internet and take photos.
