3. Tie pins and bars: Tie pins and tie bars are simple accessories just for men. They run from simple to extravagant complete with gemstones. An engraved tie bar makes a perfect gift.
1. A timepiece: Every man needs a reliable timepiece. You have three different options to work with:
* A casual wristwatch: A watch that complements casual, everyday wear is a must-have. Casual watches are priced for all different budgets. A good casual watch is sturdy, water-resistant, with a vinyl, casual leather or faux-leather band. Digital models are the cheapest and have the shortest life-span. You can also choose from quartz or mechanical models. Active men will appreciate a sports watch while an outdoorsy man will appreciate a watch with a compass and barometers.
* A dress watch: Men with office jobs need a watch that complements their suits. There are no specific characteristics of a dress watch; it is simply a watch that is elegant, simple, reliable, and functional.
* A pocket watch: A classic gift for the sophisticated man! Pocket watches were once a sign of affluence. Now, they are a rare but classy alternative to the basic wristwatch.
5. Necklace: Necklaces are for casual wear. A trendy, urban style calls for chains. Some men appreciate a gold cross or other religious necklaces. The easy-going guy will love a braided necklace, a hemp necklace, or a knitted cord necklace. Summer styles call for masculine beaded necklaces.
2. What does she have all ready? There are classic pieces every woman should have in her jewelry wardrobe. A quality pair of pearl or diamond stud earrings is a classic and romantic gift. A simple pendant on a chain is an essential as is a quality wristwatch. However, no woman needs two of any basic piece; just knowing what she needs is what makes the gift especially thoughtful and sentimental.
