Is your man horrible at remembering dates, times or anything you told him? Don’t feel bad, it’s a common ailment among men. :) Instead of getting mad get him the hand held memory trainer that uses fun games to improve his memory capabilities. It tracks his progress, which will appeal to the “gamer” inside most men and you’ll reap the rewards of having your man remember to bring home milk when you ask.

If your man spends time on the computer for work or leisure chances are he has at least a few passwords to remember. Anyone who’s registered with even a few websites knows that remembering your passwords can feel like a full time job in itself. If you haven’t given your guy the memory trainer then at least get him this password manager that stores and remembers all his passwords in one handy device.
