To the Father of the Groom!

August 14th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in General Cufflinks

cufflinks weddings father of groom large 01 To the Father of the Groom! It seems that weddings revolve a lot around the bride.  Probably for the reason that most men don’t dream and think about their own wedding day even a fraction as much as women do.  After all, little girls dream of getting married while little boys are too busy smashing cars and building forts and playing football.  So in hours or days after the proposal, the bride often takes charge or hires a wedding planner who then turns around and looks to what the bride wants because men have deferred the wedding day itself to them.  Which is a huge shame, because it’s for both the bride and the groom, and the groom ought to not only have a say in what he wants for the wedding but some creative collaboration as well.  Weddings shouldn’t only be about her, and to that end the father of the groom should be honored as well as the father of the bride.  By presenting him with Father of the Groom Cufflinks, we begin a trend that will make such affairs less about her and more about both.  These wedding cufflinks feature a pair of champagne glasses toasting to the newlywed couple against a field of black beset with a gold arrangement.  Gold cufflinks are a great way to honor those who are special to you, and at a wedding give the father of the groom something to remember the occasion of his son getting married.  Just a small step, but great changes often have small beginnings. 

 

The Great American Beer

August 12th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Novelty Cufflinks

The Great American BeerThis is a great time for beer, especially for Americans.  When Prohibition was enacted, the American beer industry had been all but eradicated, with some of the larger producers making non-alcoholic beer to stay afloat during the decade that alcohol had been banned by law.  When Prohibition was repealed, it was as though beer makers had to learn from scratch how to make it, and though there were improvements such as canned beer and pasteurization methods, American beers became rather pedestrian compared to the nuanced lagers and ales coming out of Europe and Mexico.  Recently, roughly twenty years ago or so, laws regulating the production of alcohol was lightened to allow amateur brewers to experiment and brew their own suds which would spark an explosion of “micro-breweries” that has not only revitalized the American beer industry, but has created something of a renaissance, giving the typical American palate access to tastes that he would not otherwise get unless he traveled abroad.  Today, home-brewing has grown into a great hobby that anyone with space in their refrigerator can do, and a set of Beer Cufflinks demonstrates your appeal to this age old beverage.  These silver cufflinks feature a stein of either lager or ale (your choice) with a nice foamy head that all good beer should have.  Connoisseur cufflinks such as these offer a wonderful way to share your interests in an unobtrusive way that is both professional and delightful, and is likely to spark a conversation or two about the finer aspects of a drink that’s universally beloved.  Bring a pair of steins on your arm next time you go to your local beerfest. 

A Masterpiece on Your Sleeve

August 11th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Novelty Cufflinks

cufflinks art starry night large 01 A Masterpiece on Your Sleeve Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night is a masterpiece that was certainly appreciated after his own time.  The beleaguered artist suffered tremendously for his work as he fought bouts of loneliness coupled with his own fits of melancholy that only seemed to enhance the passion he had for his work.  This passion could easily be seen in the way he painted Starry Night, with its heavy swirls of wind and clouds amidst a sea of stars dominated by the yellow moon in pale indifference to the quaint down below or the dead tree that lifts up out of the ground bears a witness to the feelings stirring in this man’s soul.  Perhaps, in many ways, he was the world’s last great artist who captured the essence of things in ways the likes of Picasso and Dali would only use as playthings in their work.  Van Gogh himself would never enjoy the fruits or accolades of his success, having committed suicide just as his work was being noticed by the art world.  No one shall mistake the Starry Night Cufflinks on your sleeve as anything less than a fantastic representation of Vincent Van Gogh’s great work.  Art cufflinks such as these deliver an eclectic and exquisite feature to your outfit that won’t go unnoticed, and are great additions to your own gallery of silver cufflinks.  The actual Starry Night painting is located at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, but this excellent work of art can be on display wherever you go.

cufflinks nfl colts large 02 The Amazing Indianapolis Colts!It could be safely stated that the Indianapolis Colts are an amazing football team.  At the beginning of the 2009 NFL season the Colts weren’t expected to go to the Super Bowl.  Head coach Tony Dungy had left leaving Jim Caldwell with the job of leading the Colts, and history shows that often such transitions don’t bode well for a team’s chances, even one as talented as the Colts.  But it turns out that Coach Dungy had groomed Caldwell for the job, and along with one of the greatest living quarterbacks alive, Payton Manning, Indianapolis managed to fight and claw their way to the playoffs and into the Super Bowl.  Though they lost to the impressive New Orleans Saints, it is a testament to the tenacity of Coach Caldwell, QB Payton Manning, and the perseverence of the Colts themselves to put themselves in arms’ length of the Vince Lombardi Trophy.  The 2010 season looks to be a great one for the Colts and for Colts fans everywhere.  Celebrate their every win with a set of Indianapolis Colts Cufflinks.  These silver cufflinks are made in the blue and white horseshoe logo of the Colts that no NFL fan will miss seeing on your sleeve.  NFL Football Cufflinks always look good and professional for any formal outfit and are ideal for any football fan to collect along with other memorabilia.  When you’d rather not strip down and paint your half-naked body in blue and white to cheer on the Colts to Super Bowl XLV, you can wear the colors in a classy way that’ll keep you warm in the winters at Indianapolis.   

Fishing Off The Cuff

cufflinks sports fly reel large 01 Fishing Off The CuffFishing is one of the great all-time endeavors.  From the time the earliest unwashed primitives realized they could make hooks, bait them, and catch fish with them, people have been hooked just the same in a sport that is probably mankind’s second oldest, with football being the oldest.   Just kidding.  By and large it hasn’t changed much, except where it comes to fly fishing.  Fly fishing is both artistic and challenging, attempting to entice a fish by simulating living insects that the fish naturally feed upon.  This is accomplished with a lightweight and durable artificial fly, sometimes created by the fishermen themselves, and a special pole and reel which, combined with a special roll-casting technique, enables the fly fisherman to place the fly on the water in just such a way that it appears to be just on the surface of the water.  It can take a lot of practice just to get the roll-casting down just right, and when you do it all of these elements become a very enticing lure for both frogs and fish.  The instant you get your first strike in this manner you’ll be hooked even more yourself, and when you do you’ll find that a set of Fly Reel Cufflinks are a marvelous way to show your appreciation for this beautiful outdoor sport.  These silver cufflinks feature the distinctive fly-reel design meant to be both light and unobtrusive so the fisherman can make as smooth a fly cast as he can.  Sports cufflinks such as this make a great gift to the sportsmen in your circles and are a fine way to take your passion with you wherever you go.

CD 293 Secret Storage for Instant ReliefPain is painful.  That’s an obvious statement, to be sure, but until you’ve been through it you don’t know what to expect.  Your handlers may have put you through something, such as the occasional water-boarding or the open-hand slaps and sleep deprivation, or the non-stop forced viewing of Hollywood Squares, but you have to know that eventually if you are captured by the opposition that they will break your will to resist.  It’s only a matter of time.  That’s important to understand so that you will plan accordingly so that you never get captured.  But never is a strong word.  When capture or being caught looks like a reality you have to face, at least you know you got one way out right there on your sleeve.  Those stylish Poison Pill Cufflinks may look like ordinary silver cufflinks, but they’re really secret compartments that can contain one good sized capsule ready to give you instant relief when you need it the most.  Naturally you don’t have to keep a lethal pill in there, but just think about that when you know that excruciating pain and suffering await you, even if it is to face the music about the multi-million dollar project you flubbed or your significant other wants to go to the opera, wouldn’t you put something in there that’ll get you out of it for good?  These aren’t just novelty cufflinks we’re talking about.  These may actually give you a way out of embarrassing and uncomfortable situations you’d rather not be in.  It’s just good piece of mind to know that you got them when you need them. 

The Eiffel Tower

August 3rd, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Cool Cufflinks

cufflinks landmarks eiffel tower large The Eiffel TowerThere is, perhaps, no greater symbol of France than the Eiffel Tower.  The Eiffel Tower has had an interesting history, beginning with its construction by contractor Gustav Eiffel and Cie as the entrance to the Exposition Universalle to mark the centennial celebration of the French Revolution back in 1889,  it was originally considered by many Parisians to be something of an eye-sore.  There were motions to have it torn down on numerous occasions, which would lead to one of the most notorious con-jobs of the great con-man Count Victor Lustig, who had fraudulently “sold” the tower to a group of scrap metal dealers for several million francs during the 1920s.  During the Second World War, it was said that though Hitler conquered Paris he could not conquer the Eiffel Tower, having been forced to climb it thanks to some industrious Frenchmen who cut the cable car that led to the top.  As a result he didn’t climb it on his second trip to Paris.  One of the world’s most famous and visited landmarks, nobody will mistake your Eiffel Tower Cufflinks for anything else when they see them on your sleeve.  Silver cufflinks such as these offer a nice sparkle and something quite interesting to round out your formal attire, and are among the many landmark cufflinks to choose from to highlight your own travels abroad, or that of a friend or a relative’s.  Especially if you’ve taken the time to wait for an opportunity to ride to the top of the Tower for a breathtaking view of Paris and the French countryside beyond, you ought to showcase such an achievement.  You may not always have Paris, but at least you’ll have that.
