Buying a gift for a man is no easy thing, especially if your man is like my man.  If he sees it, and he likes it, he buys it.  There is always the standard fall back, a gift card.  But really, how many gift cards to The Home Depot or R.E.I. can a man use?  And sometimes, just sometimes, wouldn’t it be nice to surprise him?  I had just given up all hope, and resigned myself to a life of boring gift giving, when I had an idea, an epiphany really.  I was cleaning out the closet, getting ready for our annual neighborhood garage sale, when I happened upon a shirt, a French cuff shirt, gathering a fair amount of dust.  Hmmm, French cuff shirt…maybe I could sneak that out of the closet, send it out for cleaning, and order a great set of cufflinks to go with it…genius!  Cufflinks can be as serious or as fun as you want them to be.  My guy loves woodworking, (hence the plethora of Home Depot gift cards) so a cool pair of functioning level cufflinks could be just the thing!   You can pay homage to his favorite super hero (in our case that would be Spiderman, hands down) or to his favorite team (go Giants!).  And that would be just the beginning.  Think of the possibilities girls…gift giving can be easy.  There are microchip cufflinks for the high tech man, guitar cufflinks for the wannabe musician, shark cufflinks, fire hydrants, snake eyes dice, Eiffel tower, letters, numbers, the simple, but classy, formal stripe cufflinks—the list goes on and on.  As his collection grows, he may need a collector’s case to keep his favorite new accessory organized and at his fingertips.  Use a great website like cufflinkaficianado.com and have your shopping done in just a click.  After a while, your man may come to expect (and look forward to) a new pair of great cuff links on every special occasion.
