Valentine's For Him: What To Get The Man Who Has Everything

We hear it all the time: Men are hard to shop for. They don’t need any more tools and their “#1 Dad” mug collection is busting out of the china cabinet. So when holidays like Valentine’s Day roll around, the pressure is on. When it comes to his shopping list, he’s got an arsenal of ideas for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. Maybe he’ll catch the hint and get that diamond bracelet or those gemstone earrings that you circled in a magazine and “accidentally” left out. Maybe he’ll add a sweet little ring to your engagement stack. For him, the possibilities are endless. For you, it seems like every gift guide includes the same old tired golf-themed chatchkis. For a guy who has everything (he got you, right?) and enjoys simple pleasures, how is it even possible to give him something that takes his breath away? We’ve put together a curated list of gifts and men’s accessories that he’ll cherish for years to come.

Cuffed & Chuffed

We’re at the tail end of cuffing season, but a well-placed cufflink is always in style. Deakin & Francis have been setting standards for men’s fashion since 1786. Through hundreds of years of expertise, the brand has a laser focus on exactly what men want – a sleek, sharp style that can be dressed up or down for any occasion. The Amethyst Bouton Cufflinks by Deakin & Francis are a charming addition to his closet. The polished amethyst pillows give these cufflinks an air of royalty and the yellow gold-rimmed red ruby cabochon centers act as an elegant cherry on top. Make him feel like a king with these bold links.

Ancient & Aligned

Give him a wearable token of love that spans centuries. The Dragon Fire II by William Henry is a unique combination of materials that will feel like brushing up against history. This luxury beaded bracelet boasts an intricate sterling silver clasp and consists of black onyx, tiger’s eye, and fossilized dinosaur bone. For a guy who is over all the platinum and gold, the unique material choice will be a shining addition to his collection. The Tiger’s Eye stone is said to bring out one’s inner strength and clarity, and combined with auspicious dinosaur bone he’ll be feeling the Dragon Fire II’s symbolism every day.

Ice Age Allure

Now that we’re on the subject of ancient pieces, let’s pull out another unique piece with centuries of history. The Kestrel Lavish Pocket Knife by William Henry is a distinguished accessory with a distinctive and unusual material choice. The blade is one-of-a-kind Damascus steel with intricate patterns throughout the metal, but the piece de resistance is the handle. The handle consists of a circular cross-section of a fossilized Wooly Mammoth Tusk. The rings of the tusk resemble a tree’s rings but with the gorgeous color of ancient ivory. Combine this gift with the Dragon Fire II and he’ll be a walking Natural History Museum.

You’ve seen his collection of watches, some commemorating milestones, some passed down from fathers and grandfathers before him. If he’s a watch collector, the gift possibilities are practically endless. Besides physical gifts, Deutsch Fine Jewelry offers several services that will keep his collection ticking.
