It may be the season to be jolly, but the number of accidents that take place on the road soon take the fun out of Christmas. Unfortunately, when your other half opens the cool stuff for Christmas you bought him, other families will be coming to terms with their grief as the festive season hits them hard thanks to another road victim. This is why you need to ensure your man does not drink and drive. Despite all the adverts depicting the horrors of drink driving, an inordinate number of people still break the rules. Xmas gifts for boyfriends should have their road safety in mind which is why it is a great idea to buy them a breathalyser. Although the readings from these devices should not be taken as absolute by any means, they will give a reasonable indication of whether he is fit to drive.

The Digital Alcohol Breathalyser Tester is among the cool stuff for Christmas that will help keep someone safe. To activate the device, simply breathe into it for 5 seconds and a reading will appear. The digital display makes it easy to read. Incidentally, if you cannot read the display, you don’t need this device because you’re already drunk! This tester should be on all girlfriends’ list of presents to buy her boyfriend this year because it accurately reads his blood alcohol in increments of 0.01. This is in contrast to other breathalysers on the market that give vague and inaccurate readings. It is less than 10 cm long so it can easily be carried around. This gadget is proof that cool stuff for Christmas can also have safety in mind. With an LCD backlit screen, it is easy to read the results in the dark.

If you’re looking for presents to buy your boyfriend for less than £5, try the Alcohol Breath Tester Key-Ring. It works the same way as the digital version with 5 seconds of breathing into the device enough to give a reading. It is convenient due to its size though it does not give as accurate a reading as its digital counterpart. It measures alcohol consumption with three different levels on the screen: Below 0.02%, between 0.02%-0.05% and above 0.05%. This definitely enters the cool stuff for Christmas bracket and with the batteries lasting a full year, you are unlikely to ever be caught short when you need to test yourself. Even though it gives reasonably accurate readings, it is probably best to use it for fun rather than as a serious indication of whether you are fit to drive.

Continuing the Xmas gifts for boyfriends theme featuring breathalysers we have the Professional Digital Alcohol Sensor Breathalyser which is more expensive than the other two but also more accurate. Again, all it takes is 5 seconds to get a reading which comes up in 0.01 increments. This counts among the cool stuff for Christmas you will see online because it also has 5 reusable mouthpieces. This is perfect for those who get a bit squeamish if forced to share the one device. This breathalyser is better than its rivals because it has automatic fault checking and a microcomputer controlled automatic test sequence. When it is turned on, it only takes 10 seconds to be functional. Xmas gifts for boyfriends should be fun but also have his health in mind and this device will not only tell him if he is over the legal limit, it will also tell you if he is drinking too much in general.

Cool stuff for Christmas does not always have to be expensive, nor does it have to be cutting edge technology but in the case of a breathalyser, only the most accurate will do. However, even the most accurate online tester does not compare fully to police equipment which costs hundreds of pounds and gives consistently accurate readings. Have fun with these devices and make sure they are Xmas gifts for boyfriends that keep him on the straight and narrow.
