Aren't men wonderful? They can be so grumpy sometimes and like silly schoolboys at others, they're clever, practical and gorgeous. Well, some of us think they are. That's why novelty accessories such as personalised cufflinks seem like such mad accessories. Surely for a man to want to wear something like that is out of character most of the time? The rest of the time it's daring and it's funny.
It's a strange affliction that men have; they are drawn to those colourful and ridiculous ties which play embarrassing festive jingles, the thick Christmas socks covered in snow men or reindeer and of course our focus in this article; the ubiquitous personalised cufflinks.
But teasing aside, there's really something very cute about novelty stuff and that's probably why so many men really love it; regardless of whether or not they're willing to admit it.
The Festive Celebrations
Christmas is a great time of the year to give a man some personalised cufflinks such as novelty ones which show the coat of arms for his favourite footie team! We say that because over the Christmas period there are plenty of parties and events, some of which will undoubtedly require formal dress and they will give him a chance, along with New Year's parties, to wear his personalised cufflinks with pride.
We mentioned those garish ties and socks which come out every year in the introduction to this article but it's definitely also worth saying that although you can easily lump novelty and personalised cufflinks in with these abominations. However, the truth is that they're far more understated and elegant. Even personalised cufflinks for golfing fanatics which are shaped like little kitsch golf balls have a certain charm and air of class, despite being cute and whimsical.
The Summer Weddings
When it comes to summer weddings, these are just another occasion when personalised cufflinks that have cute novelty designs come in useful. Standard dress for most weddings involves old fashioned shirts for the men with traditional cuffs and the only way to keep those looking perfect is with a good pair of cufflinks.
There are so many designs to choose from and if novelty cufflinks make your man shudder with style fear then there are plenty of contemporary and classical styled cufflinks out there too which you can get engraved with his initials.
Some of them have little diamante detailing and others are plain but most cufflinks can fit up to 3 or 4 initials on them. Monogrammed cufflinks also look really sexy and remind some ladies of a better time (that probably never really existed!) when men were gentile and chivalrous.
Also: some brides and grooms really like to buy personalised cufflinks as special gifts for their best men, they can then all have matching cufflinks on the special day each initialled and personalised and use them for all of life's other special and formal occasions in the years to come!
The Brilliant Birthdays
When it comes to celebrating big and beautiful birthdays some people really like to push the boat out and do it in style, so if you think any of the men in your life are either going to host or go to a formal birthday party soon get him some personalised cufflinks!
As well as making a great birthday present, they can really be a talking point amongst friends because they come in so many different designs. For example, did you know that you can actually get cufflinks shaped like little Darleks from Dr Who? Or that you can get a pair which look like little red motorbikes, perfect for rough and ready bikers who are being forced to dress smartly! There are even cufflinks which are shaped like champagne bottles or subbuteo pieces.
So with all those choices on offer there's bound to be a pair of personalised cufflinks out there for the most important men in your life.
A Sentimental Present
Although most men are not famous for their thoughtful or emotional side they really do appreciate gifts like cufflinks. In much the same way that a woman feels special when she is given a piece of nice jewellery; when a man receives a present like personalised cufflinks he knows a lot of thought and care has gone in to finding, choosing and maybe even engraving them.
So, whether you need to find a thoughtful present for a brother, your dad or the love of your life personalised cufflinks are definitely worth considering.Aren't men wonderful?
