Gift giving for the men in your life isn’t always easy, or exciting. There are neck ties and power tools and grill accessories that fly off the shelves at Christmastime, but what about something more unique? Something special, that shows thought and attention to detail? Men’s jewelry might be just the ticket.
If you’re thinking, “But he doesn’t wear jewellery!” you’re probably wrong. No man’s wardrobe is complete without a watch, or in some cases, a pair of cufflinks. So why not spoil them with some designer jewellery of their own? Here are a few affordable ideas sure to fit any taste.
Watches
There are some absolutely gorgeous, timeless (no pun intended!) options out there when it comes to watches. Stainless steel watches in the 42mm range are dapper, modern and versatile. For traditionalists, watches with a brown leather band are lovely (and in many cases, less expensive). For another classic choice for men who dress to impress, a stainless steel watch in gold is sure to do the trick.
Many of these designer watches are still waterproof and perfect for a guy on the go (or the forgetful type who wears it in the shower!). While plenty of watches are better suited for outdoor pursuits, the designer watches above will transition well from work to leisure.
Cufflinks
Another must for the well-dressed man is a proper pair of cufflinks. Whether you choose a traditional monogrammed circle or branch out to a more modern shape, this is your chance to get creative and let personality shine through.
For the man with a sense of humor, how about pair of cufflinks shaped like cricket balls, bulldogs or moustaches? There are even cufflinks for every type of sports enthusiast, or the Team London (2012 Olympic Games) follower could wear their support on their sleeve – literally!
Other
If you’re still not convinced designer jewellery is appropriate, or perhaps you’re buying for someone you don’t know very well, there are other options in the designer jewellery realm. A sterling silver business card holder is a wonderful gift for a colleague or boss, and a silver-plated Union Jack keychain would be appreciated by just about anyone. Stainless steel money clips are a solid choice, too, especially if you’re looking for less expensive items that can be used on a daily basis.
No matter what you pick, for a gift or for yourself, don’t be afraid to branch out into the surprisingly vast world of men’s jewellery.
