Milestone Birthdays: Gifts for Him
Milestone birthdays should without a doubt be celebrated in style, this is not the year to add to his sock collection! Whether it’s your brother, father or significant other who’s turning a year older they definitely deserve a one-of-kind gift for this one-of-a-kind celebration.
For ‘big’ birthdays it’s time to truly spoil him with a luxurious gift that he’ll treasure for years to come.
The 21st – TUDOR MEN’S HERITAGE CHRONO WATCH
His 18th has passed and so has the novelty of a big bottle of something, this is the birthday to treat him to a special timepiece.
Tudor is the little brother of Rolex and is perfect for a 21st birthday. This will probably be his first steps into the luxury watch world and this piece is the perfect intro. The opaline and blue baton dial is finished with orange accents for a striking look. The royal blue and grey colouring is also a tribute to the original 1973 model and its statement design is bound to get you noticed. With a calibre 2892 movement to power it and an additional mechanism for chronograph function this is a powerful and stylish accessory that he’ll love.
The 30th – DEAKIN AND FRANCIS SILVER AND ENAMEL STEERING WHEEL CUFFLINKS
Just because his 20’s are being left behind doesn’t mean he can’t have a big-blow-out birthday celebration!
His 30th is definitely time for a bit of fun and these cufflinks are a perfectly luxurious gift that also has a bit of personality! The quirky cufflinks, designed in the style of steering wheels, are crafted in silver and finished in enamel, with the brown and black accents adding the final details. Deakin and Francis are known for designing and manufacturing the finest cufflinks. After setting their workshop up in England 230 years ago they have a huge catalogue of unique cufflinks, but these are the perfect pair for a motoring enthusiast!
The 40th – LAINGS PALLADIUM BRILLIANT CUT DIAMOND SET RING
We’ve all heard the expression ‘life begins at forty’ – so why not treat him to a truly stylish present to mark the occasion.
Over the past few years men’s jewellery has become increasingly popular, so this is the perfect gift for someone who has already established themselves as a style-savvy gentleman. A men’s ring doesn’t just have to mean a wedding ring and a handsome design can make the perfect fashion statement. Featuring a 0.35ct round brilliant diamond and a machined centre groove for a contemporary twist this is a great present for someone with a stylish personality, allowing them to make a handsome statement.
The 50th – CARTIER MEN’S DRIVE DE CARTIER WATCH
Another big ‘0’ has come along and you should definitely use this as another excuse to celebrate!
A luxurious watch is the perfect present for a sophisticated gentleman and this Cartier model is a truly stylish and handsome timepiece. The silvered fliniqué dial is set with traditional Roman numerals and Cartier’s signature blue-steel sword-shaped hands. Powered by a 1940-PS MC calibre automatic movement and finished on a black semi-matt alligator skin strap for a smart finish this is the ultimate accessory for the discerning gentleman.
