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 ---

Holly! (confirmed)
I used green spinach tortillas!
Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes. Broil for a couple minutes at the end if the cheese doesn’t look sufficiently melty.
Serve with guac, salsa, sour cream if you desire, and Mexican beer!
This is a fun pair of dice that has various locations (in the house!) and positions on the faces. The dice are bigger than I was expecting. I guess that makes sense, as you need to be able to figure out the illustrated positions on there. It definitely brings a little chance and a sense of play into the mix! I think this would be a very cute bachelorette party gift; it's not so racy as to offend anyone but it does have just a touch of naughty to it. Or, fun if you are looking to get some of the spontaneity back into a long-term relationship!
I can vouch for their shipping process. Shipping in my experience has been fast (yes, even to Canada), and very discreet. Items arrive in a plain box with a return address that doesn't let your friendly/nosy courier know what's in the package.
