Watches
A timepiece is a classic gift, but what about a watch that also promotes optimal health and wellness? Philip Stein Teslar watches, a.k.a. “the feel good watch,” use Teslar technology to strengthen the body’s electromagnetic energy field (ELF) and combat external pollutants. Wearers give testimonial that the watch, which uses energy science, has prompted a better night’s sleep, calm in stressful circumstances and relief from migraines and even jet lag. (Now if they could just make a watch that reduces wrinkles!) With a loyal celebrity following including Oprah Winfrey, Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Alba and Hugh Jackman, why not make your star man even more of a power player and give his inner ELF a boost? 800-237-9477; www.philipstein.com.

Sunglasses & MP3
Leave it to Oakley to combine sports and music all under one sleek set of frames. Debuting this year, Oakley’s THUMP Pro is essentially a sunglass with a built-in MP3 player, so he won’t have to worry about getting tangled in headphones ever again. It sports High Definition Optics for sharp vision, improved sweat resistance and open-edge lenses for serious runners and cyclers. And if that’s not enough, with 1 GB of storage space and iTunes compatibility, the THUMP Pro gives him one more reason to run and rock. $249; 800-431-1439, www.oakley.com.
