I remember when I was a little girl and my mother would take me shopping for Dad’s birthday or for father’s day. Mom, not being a very creative or imaginative person, would always peruse the mens ties and that is usually what we ended up buying him.

As I grew older and started purchasing gifts for him on my own, I realized how very hard my dad is to buy for. He has everything that he needs and if he wants something, he just goes out and gets it for himself. I have strayed from the ties, as I have figured he must have about a hundred by now, and I usually end up getting him cufflinks now.

I got him some for his birthday a few years ago and he loved them, so I decided I should stick with something I know he will use. I have even been eyeing some money clips that I know he would enjoy.
