Menkind

The name speaks volumes.
For those that haven’t got their hearing aids switched on, Menkind sell all kinds of gifts for men. We’re talking remote control cars, toolsets, webcams, watches, cuff links, hip flasks, Top Gear mugs, signed footballs, beer glasses, gadgets, gizmos and more remote control cars.
For the man that’s determined to be a bachelor forever, they also sell luxury Star Wars and Superman bath robes.

Menkind is the ultimate place to go to pick up an interesting fathers day gift or any kind of present for a male loved one and it is a store with real quality and charm. This is a man’s paradise with all manner of novelty items on display as well as some products with real quality.
I like this store due to its quirky nature and the friendly and relaxed atmosphere which is created inside. The store is nicely decorated and it is easy to wile away the time checking out the many novelty items on display.
The staff here are great and mainly male so they have a good insight into the minds of the people the gifts are being purchased for.
On the whole this place is something of real quality and charm and I would definitely recommend it to the male population of Liverpool.

Oh blokey blokey bloke stuff. For those who worship Tim Allen, Jeremy Clarkson and maybe even Tim Lovejoy you will find this store a treasure trove of gadgets and gizmos.
Now I’m not going to slag this place off even though I’m not much of a gadget person — unless it plays music or can add apps — and certainly not interested in the many wacky toys and gizmos here but when you’re really struggling for gift ideas MenKind is not a bad place to fall back on, much like the more highly vaunted Utility.
You see Utility has just as much useless rubbish but it has many of it’s products in Wallpaper or Design Week whereas you’re more likely to see the stuff in Menkind in Nuts or Zoo. The image for this kind of stuff is therefore not as creditable but basically what you get here is a male version of expensive tat when you have nowhere to go for that tricky birthday present.

Men must be from Mars and women from Venus because I do not understand this shop.
It is full of bits of tat, like statues of ‘The Stig’ and stretchy stress-​ball vegetables. We went in looking for inspiration for a friend’s birthday and unfortunately it’s full of impersonal big-​kid stuff that would be put to the back of a cupboard after 5 minutes.
However, they do have some high-​quality brands of watches and wallets (expensive!) and some fun bits and bobs that would do as fillers.

Every time someones birthday has come up over the past year, our first thought has been to head straight to Menkind and purchase a must have yet frankly useless gadget for them. This is a shop full of amazing little gifts that you wouldn’t ever know you needed until you have laid your hands on it!
The range of products on offer is vast and it is a wonder where they find them. If your in need of a gift there is guaranteed to be something here to suit. Don’t expect anything fantastic though, anything you buy from here will probably just provide a few hours of fun and then be put away in a cupboard never to be see again.

I’m always wary of the kinds of ‘big kids toys’ places like Menkind sell and the sort of arrested development they seem to encourage; we’re breeding a country of man-​children more interested in tinkering with polystyrene remote-​controlled helicopters or playing around with miniature foozball tables than they are with trying to support their families. It’s a serious problem. I’m seriously super-​serious.
As well as all those sort of easy stocking fillers and birthday gifts — beer glass cufflinks, Rocky bathrobes and Top Gear related memorabilia — there is a small selection of overpriced watches by Police and some far stranger items including the BBQ branding kit — «The BBQ Branding Iron makes customizing food from the outdoor grill easy» — I always fancied branding my meat before but it would have just been too difficult, thank the lord those days of eating meat without words seared into them are over.
Fun for a look around but does anybody really want or need any of the stuff in here? Well, except the crossbow. I desperately need that.

Menkind is a little shop full of little gadgets and the perfect store for his gifts! The store ranges from a variety of electronic items for novelty fun and some stuff educational; for example, I saw a hovering toy UFO in front of my very eyes and my word did it look so convincing yet this was no illusion; in fact, this was due to the laws of physics and electromagnetism as I knew from my studies! Well, I have actually learnt something unique and interesting from my days back at school!
The products are generally suitable for all ages from infants to adults and sells popular games and boys toys.
This store is quite inviting to the eye and ideal for buying gifts for little and big boys!
