Men, tend to be harder to shop for then women for some reason. So many times we've given male family members flashlights, tool boxes, tool sets and such, because we just don't know what to give them or where to find great, charming gifts for them. Now of course, that's all different since locating some fantastic gifts (for birthdays, holidays, or fathers day) to give to the men in our lives.
An antique feeling about these old style watches is just a perfect look for a man of any age. Being able to personalize it with their initials makes it even better, the Personalized Silver Pocket Watch is a great gift for husband, dad, boyfriend, granddad, or uncle. If looking for a more modern look to a pocket watch, a Personalized Pocket Watch Key Chain is your best bet. This is a classic looking sports watch which also contains a compass on the black leather base before the clip. Perfectly suited to clipping on a key ring or belt loop, it's a perfect gift for the more modern styled man not into older or vintage inspired designs.
Another great gift idea is a money clip. Lets face it, unless a wallet really calls out to a guy they just don't want anything to do with them, normally carrying around credit cards and bills loose in their pockets. Well, something as small as a money clip is a great way to fix this problem. Two options are the Personalized Watch and Money Clip or just the Personalized Money Clip Keychain. Now you may be thinking that the Personalized Money Clip Keychain isn't going to work at all, how is something that can get banged up going to hold money or cards? Well, that's easy, there's a strong magnetic bond to make sure that all the valuables placed between the two ends of the clip won't get lost. It makes a great functional keychain. The Personalized Watch and Money Clip just has a timeless look about it, made for both function and style, this clip will be a very welcome gift by anyone on your list. The light weight of the clip is a bonus and it is beautifully designed to perfectly catch the eye of everyone around.
If you want to surprise the man, add a hidden picture to the gift for that extra personal touch. A Personalized Photo Locket keychain pocket watch is a great, practical choice. The locket is a watch that has a space on the upper part that can hold a one inch round photo. It could be of the family, you, or left empty so they can choose what picture to place inside. This is a great twist to a timeless piece which makes it even more personalized than just the initials on the outside. Another gift with style for a man with pizzazz is Personalized Cuff Links with Photo Locket. On the outside these cuff links don't look any different than a classic engraved cuff links with the initials. But inside is a whole other story, two small photos can be held inside each cuff link.
Pocket Watch History
Early clocks were driven by hanging weights. Since they depended on gravity to work properly, they had to be firmly mounted on the wall or in a case. But by the 1400s, it had been discovered that a clockwork mechanism could be powered by a coiled spring instead. This led to the development of the first portable clock by Peter Henlein, a German metalworker, in the early 16th century (some sources credit Henlein with inventing spring-powered clocks, but this is disputed).
A Little Black Dress Takes You Everywhere
Coco Chanel is said to have invented the idea of a little black dress. Whether that is true or not, each decade produces enough homage to the concept that it has become synonymous with chic.
There is a Black Dress For Everyone
It's every woman's dream to wear the little black dress. But not all of us are confident enough to flaunt the dress or go sexy and bold. In reality, a black dress actually complements any kind of skin tone and body shape and even hides the love handles and bulges if used smartly. You just need to pick the right style for yourself.
