Even More World Cup Man Cave Essentials
Tuesday, June 24th, 2014
This month we brought you a breakdown of the ultimate man cave must-haves, including everything from the big screen TV to the trademark La-Z Boy recliner – but we know your lair isn’t quite finished yet. England may have crashed and burned in this year’s FIFA World Cup, but now’s the time to dry your eyes. Now we’re back with even more ways to transform your living room into the hub of pure manliness it deserves to be – making it the ultimate he-retreat to watch the footie in – with a little help from some of the experts.
So let’s get cracking: for your very own man cave, you’re going to need the following:
Microsoft Surface Tablet (via @TechMASHUK)
iPads are all fine and well, but for a tablet that packs a punch without having to pay for the privilege of ultra-minimalist design, the Microsoft Surface tablet range is what you want. Complete with Microsoft Office 2013, HD capabilities, over 100,000 Windows 8 apps and bright, bold aesthetics, and available with either 32 or 64GB of storage, this nifty piece of machinery will leave you one very satisfied invalid.
DIY Tiki Bar
Asserting your manliness is a man cave prerequisite, and there’s no better way than with some good old-fashioned DIY. If you want a drink station within crawling distance, building your own DIY tiki bar is the way to do it. Find the instructions right here, man up and get building – that way, you’ll never actually have to leave the man cave again. You’ll be drinking Brazil’s national cocktail, the Caipirinha and kicking back to watch the finals in no time!
Universal Remote (via @GadgetsBoy)
The last thing you want to be doing when you’re in the man cave is messing about with various remotes during the match when you could have one all-powerful piece of machinery for the job. Universal remotes still seem like the stuff of utopian sci-fi to us, but you really can get your own right now – and for a modest price, at that. Check out One For All and they’ll put all the remote control in your capable hands.
Logitech Powershell
The iPhone 5 only continues to grow as a gaming platform, but the awkwardness of controlling the damned thing is just about the only thing holding it back from mobile gaming perfection. But thanks to Logitech Powershell, that’s not a problem anymore. This naughty little gadget transforms your iPhone into a handheld analogue controller, complete with full iOS 7 compatibility – available at the bargain price of £45.
Foosball Table (via @UniversalGadge)
No World Cup man cave is complete without the staple that is the foosball table. With tons of these beauties available on Amazon from as little as £70, any man can have the perfect hands-on solution to times when there’s no football on the telly. And that way, when you feel like letting your bros into the man cave, you’ll be able to scout a worthy competitor.
mophie space pack
This technological marvel is the world’s first rechargeable battery case with built-in iPhone 5/s storage. Offering man cave inhabitants the world over a chance to protect, charge and supplement their iPhones with ease, the mophie space pack is a quick and dirty solution to limited battery life and storage space in one. Complemented by the Space app, which enables users to manage and organise everything on their space pack, this is an undeniable essential for any man venturing out of his cave to watch the football down the pub.
Domino’s App (via @Dominos_UK and @DGINSIDER)
If you’re in hibernation mode and can’t face the idea of fulfilling your hunter-gatherer role, why not just leave it to the experts? Pizza is a non-negotiable man cave component, and boy, do Dominos deliver. Sort yourself out with the Dominos app for instant access to all manner of dirty deep pans and filthy thin crusts – then kick back and wait for the man cave doorbell to ring.
Bromance Siamese Slanket
If you’re in the mood for bromance but don’t know how to set the mood, your troubles are over. With the help of a siamese slanket, you can cosy up with your favourite bro and let the good times roll. Thanks to the slanket, you’ll be able to stay in the depths of your man cave indefinitely and won’t even go mental from the loneliness. Settle in and get yours now.
