ABC Neckties Review & Giveaway!


Finally, a giveaway for the man in your life! Doesn't he deserve it?

I love a man in a suit. I know I'm not alone (how many of you went to see the movie Up in the Air just to watch George Clooney wander around in a suit for two hours? Be honest!). And I have been tie shopping with my husband a few times (not nearly as fun as it sounds) and realize exactly how difficult it is to find a nice tie that is good quality, will work with the shirts, blazers or suits he has, and is a reasonable price!

So when I had the opportunity to work with ABC Neckties, the answer was yes! My husband and I spent quite a bit of time looking through the many options on their website, from silk, striped, solids, patterned, novelty ties and more! My husband ended up choosing the Clark Fashion Silk Tie, which has a subtle pattern on green with just a hint of blues woven in. The fabric is really nice quality, nice and thick, and just the right length and width. I think he looks pretty awesome in it, don't you?

He noted that it makes a nice thick knot even with a simple knot, which apparently is good. This must be a Guy Thing. I have never looked that closely at the knots on ties but given that there are a ton of ways to knot a tie, it must be important.

Just to give you an idea of some of the many, many other options...

I also liked these:

This is the Bennett Striped Silk Tie, I like the soft silvery grey and the tiny stripes in different greens. This one's on sale right now for $20.36.

To the right is the Chesapeake Checkered Silk Tie, which I love because it looks fairly neutral and tame from a distance, but up close has lots of colour in it.

And just for fun, here's the Stethoscope Necktie - is there a doctor in the house?! I think it's pretty hilarious. They have a Coach one, too, in red with a silver whistle :) and other fun occupational ties.

They also carry accessories, like cuff link sets and handkerchiefs - with really great prices on those as well!

--- Here's the good news for you ---

ABC Neckties has generously offered one of my readers a $25 gift certificate!

That's enough for a super nice tie, or even TWO, depending on what styles you like! Or, a tie and cuff links set! Mix and match :) When was the last time your sweetie got a nice surprise in the mail? Here's your chance to hook him up.
