If you’re anything like me, you’re racking your brain each year about what to get the man in your life—because let’s be honest, men are much harder to shop for! Typically the things they want are out of a Christmas pricing budget… ie. a new car, a boat, all the outrageous expensive things. And often, if a man wants something, they’ll get it themselves. The thing about gifts for your significant other is we’re so conditioned to think the jewelry is for women but guess what…men like it too!
They like nice things just as much as women do. If you’re looking for a gift that’s going impress your guy I have a few ideas for you. Also, these are gifts you can pick up right here locally for my last-minute shoppers at Grogan Jewelers by Lon. They also gift wrap and everything.
Watches
This is by far the front-runner. My husband loves a good watch. He has a watch box with all of his faves. Also don’t feel like you have to spend a ton on a fancy new watch on him. While Matt does have really nice watches, he also has a collection of watches that didn’t cost our firstborn. He wears these during daily activities and switches them out often depending on what he’s wearing. He also has a couple of really nice watches that he wears for important events or nights out. A watch is the ultimate thoughtful gift. Plus they are classic pieces that will be timeless years down the road and can eventually turn into heirlooms.
Bracelets
Bracelets have become a very big trend for men. Men have always been known to wear cufflinks and watches but lately, men are becoming very comfortable wearing bracelets, necklaces, and even brooches. Bracelets for men give them the opportunity to accessorize and show a bit of their style. They can also be stacked and paired with a nice watch.
Rings
Yes, men can wear rings other than their class ring or wedding band. I get that a lot of styles may not be to most men’s tastes and styles but there are still options (including custom jewelry). Again when I met my husband he wore a very nice ring on his right hand and instead of buying a new one, he moved that ring to his left hand when we got married because he loved it so much. I think to play it safe keep the design simple but it’s definitely a winning option.
Cufflinks
Most men are gonna wear a suit at some point in their lives but A LOT of men wear them weekly for work, even daily. Cufflinks are a great gift because it’s a way for a man to add some flair or something special to their suit without feeling girly or overboard. Also, cufflinks make a perfect Christmas gift because you know your guy will want to wear them for New Year’s Eve.
When you do your holiday shopping this year and you've been inspired by one of these ideas, just know you can always shop at Grogan’s online. However, my personal advice is to browse the jewelry in person. Not only are there more options in-store but sometimes it really takes seeing them in person to really feel the quality of the jewelry piece. Plan ahead and start looking for sales or get started on building your own unique custom pieces now!
