Too Early For Valentine’s Day? Which Gift Type is Your Lady?

Guide to Gift Giving

According to Hallmark (and your wife), it’s never too early to start looking for Valentine’s Day presents. And we all know men aren’t the greatest shoppers anyways–it’s against the evolutionary biological standard for men. But CLM is here, once again, to help you pry through the masses of gifts and pick the right one for your lady friend.

First, pick which “type” your lady embodies. No, we don’t like putting anyone in categories, but for this shopping effort on Valentine’s we will make an exception.

Is she Glitzy? Designer? Earthy? or Romantic?

Pick ONE or TWO:

For the Glitzy Lady:

Get her something that sparkles, it’s a no brainer. Every woman has her favorite jewelry staple, be it necklaces, rings,bracelets, earrings, or a mix of everything. Have a custom ring or necklace made for her, it doesn’t have to be an engagement ring, but if your serious, then maybe some kind of “promise” ring. Yes we’re taking it back old school. Good Old Mr. Hallmark forces us to! Forgive us please!

But really, don’t just go to the local department store and grab anything that sparkles. Put some kind of thought into it…meaning go to a local jeweler and actually design something. It could be in Sterling Silver or Platinum, add a few semi-precious stones and you have a one of a kind ring, necklace, or bracelet to give her. The trick is, you don’t want to fall into that “Kay Jewelers or Jared’s” trap that says she should have the same necklace and ring as every other woman in America. Put your mind and money together to create something beautiful.

Is she a Stunning Love Knot kind of gal?

For the Designer Lady:

A handbag. A watch. Anything by her favorite designer that she can use on the regular and be reminded of your love (and money). They go hand in hand, do they not? Hey V-Day can be kind of cut throat for the unemployed and taken. Take notice of the brand names she loves…is it Chanel? Micheal Kors? Coach? Valentino? Chanel lipstick with Chanel perfume is a start. A MK handbag and watch is another. A wallet and handbag from Coach is yet another.

Maybe surprise her and take her to her favorite designer store (or Barney’s/Saks/etc) and have her pick out what she wants. It’s not as romantic, but hey, if she loves labels let her pick it. If you pick it yourself, think about her style and figure out what will work with what she already owns: i.e. don’t buy her a gold watch if she only wears silver. Don’t buy her a Louis Vuitton bag if she can’t stand the idea of LV all over an item. Also shoes are another way to win her V Day affection: does she love new heels? How about some sparkly Jimmy Choos to wear to the restaurant you’ll be taking her.

Also, if you decide to go designer, don’t buy your gift from ebay or second hand. It’s just not the same, especially for Valentine’s Day.

For the Earthy Lady:

A hemp/eco friendly rucksack. A natural leather bag that will last a lifetime. A simple jewelry piece with silver and stone. An engraved keepsake, like jewelry box or monogrammed bag. Think of her interests…does she like to be cozy and comfortable? Get her plush winter boots from LL Bean. Does she like Mountain climbing? An insulated good quality jacket. Love tea? How about a clay tea pot with engraved cups?

A day trip or overnight stay in a log cabin overlooking a lake. A camping trip. A bed and breakfast in the mountains. Your lady will surely love it if you take her away for the weekend somewhere outdoors and romantic, get her a nice climbing/hiking bag made from Bison leather,  and a classic tea pot to brew some love by the fire.

Is your Irish love all knotted up?

For the Romantic Lady:

Write her a song. Make her a jewelry box out of pine wood, engraved with your favorite quote. Flowers, but not just traditional roses, give her something different that will become her new “favorite flower.” Simple jewelry. Dinner over candlelight. Soft music playing. Chocolates. Framed picture of the two of you on a special trip or day. A photo book with pictures recounting your memories together. Take her to a lake side resort, catch your own fish, and cook it for dinner together. Buy her her favorite romantic movie and watch it together. A basket of dainty things: perfume, garter stockings, monogrammed handkerchiefs, silver earrings, a love note, massage oil, and candies.

Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll

 

 

There comes a time in every man’s life where he succumbs to the anti-rock star lifestyle and chooses a more…conventional way of life. Don’t fear former rebels, we’ve got the miniature emblems of fashion to remind you of your former rock star self and possibly help get some groove back in your step.

Get more love. Wear a Stamp Cufflink to remind you of the ultimate joy of life: The Mummy Stamp Cufflinks

Every man wants to know about sex: how can I get it, how can I get more of it, and how can I keep getting it? Our answer is simple: Style. Every woman loves a confident, stylish man (assuming you’re not prettier than she is).

Start with an ultra sleek Champagne tie from CLM:

Next, have the right BAG. This guy is from Prada and a little expensive, (well actually “a lot a expensive”), but can be swapped out for something much cheaper. We just wanted to show you an example of a bag you should keep your eye out for because it screams style:

Pair this briefcase with something just as elegant, but won’t break the bank. At only $25, this Classic Black and White Silk Knot Cufflink Trio Set is well worth it, especially for all those holiday parties you’ll be attending:

As for the drugs, you may want to stick to the legal ones, like a stiff Martini and cigar.

The ladies may not dig the cigar, but it’ll be perfect for a night out with the boys, sitting back enjoying your hard earned peace and quiet.

And then there’s ROCK AND ROLL. The statement wouldn’t be complete with it.First, let’s give a toast to the King of Rock and Roll. May he rest in peace.Thanks for all the tunes and for opening the doors of rock for all of us:

And as controversial as it was when Bob Dylan switched to the electric guitar, music wouldn’t be the same without it. Here’s our material homage to the beauty of the electric sound machine.

Without Cupid, dirty Martinis, and Elvis, Sex Drugs and Rock & Roll wouldn’t be possible. Respect! More to come.
