Bedknobs & Baubles chronicles the things I love most: style, interior design, travel and, of course, costume jewelry. I often submit to magpie-like tendencies and have the jewelry collection to prove it.

Valentine Gift Guide

I’ve been struggling with finding the perfect gift for Dave this year. (Between Christmas and his December birthday, I’ve exhausted all of my ideas!) Here are a few options to get you started if you’re still on the hunt for the perfect present (or just looking to treat yourself).

Holiday Gift Guide: Men

Shop It: Pocket Comb // Coffee Mill // Cuff Links // Knit Hat // Fox Jigger // Sunglasses Case // Monogrammed Coasters // Aftershave // Bean Boots // Watch Straps // Leather Handle Hammer // Old Fashioned Glasses // Thermos

When I came across the Knotz cuff links from Wurkin Stiffs, I knew they’d make the perfect stocking stuffer for Dave at under $10 per pair. (Let’s be honest, the unique packaging sold me.) I purchased a pair immediately … and then gave them to Dave right after wrapping them in Christmas paper. I’m terrible with surprises. 

Three people will win a pair of Knotz cuff links from Wurkin Stiffs. There are three styles up for grabs: the traditional round pair, barber pole and square peg. One winner will be selected for each style, but you can pick the color.
