What’s Cooking, Good Looking? 

From past experience, you can never go wrong with a new knife. Being a parent and a wife, I know you can never have too many good knives! Ladies – if you want to encourage your men to cook more, I would suggest this knife to impress him. Blokes love getting straight into the manly chopping!

The Trendy Type

One thing I always love to buy my husband on Valentine’s Day is an accessory to complement his style. Give your guy a fashion-forward present this year with these handy ideas:

Tie and pocket square- RRP $39 

Go for a neutral and classic colour like navy.

Cufflinks - RRP $39

Cufflinks are an accessory that every man needs. They dress up any occasion, be it work, date night, or a formal function.

Belt $29

Every man usually owns a black belt, right? But fashion 101 dictates  that his shoes must match his belt. So this Valentine’s I’ve gone for a nice brown belt. Brown belts show a modern,sophisticated look and give any look a trendy lift. 

Lapel Pin RRP $34

Something unique here that your modern man would love! We went for a quill feather lapel pin. It’s different, shows style and has a little bit of an edge. 

Available from Buckle 1922
