With Father’s Day right around the corner, now is the time to starting thinking about how best to spoil your father on this very special day. Of course, gifts are not the be-all and end-all – there can be no substitute for time enjoyed with loved ones – but I’m certain that an elegant set of One Bond Street’s solid sterling silver cufflinks, a beautiful bespoke bangle, or a classic wooden lacquered jewellery box would be a very welcome surprise! Along with a luxurious breakfast in bed, a lovely family dinner or simply quality time spent together, a thoughtful gift – like a stylish bangle or some sterling silver jewellery – is an excellent way to show your father just how much you appreciate him this Father’s Day.
Finding the perfect Father’s Day gift can, however, be a little difficult. Unlike with mothers, for whom there seems to be a wealth of choice - gorgeous flowers, sterling silver jewellery, elegant perfume, scented candles, luxury soaps and a great deal more - locating the ideal present for a father is often complicated by the limited options that appear to be available and, all too often, we find ourselves giving the same gifts year in, year out. The same bottle of whisky, boring old slippers or even just a pair socks! With One Bond Street’s high- class range of sterling silver and bespoke goods – cufflinks, bangles and wooden lacquered jewellery boxes - though, it doesn’t have to be this way.
A sophisticated set of British themed cufflinks, for example, would be a wonderful gift, especially for a gentleman who enjoys maintaining a smart, refined and debonair appearance. This could be paired with an exclusive wooden lacquered cufflink box from One Bond Street, as a sure fire way to put a beaming smile on your deserving father’s face! If, however, your father doesn’t often sport shirts, doesn’t like cufflinks or, simply, already owns enough sterling silver cufflinks to start his own shop, then perhaps something a little different would be more appropriate. In that case, a sophisticated, bespoke, sterling silver bangle just might do the trick! Versatile and stylish, bespoke bangles are an ideal Father’s Day treat as they are perfect for all occasions and can be made to measure, giving them a wonderful, personalised feel. This could also be accompanied by one of One Bond Street’s luxury wooden lacquered jewellery boxes and will almost certainly help you to show your appreciation on Father’s Day!
No one quite knows when this time-honoured tradition of giving special gifts, like sterling silver cufflinks, bespoke bangles and wooden lacquered jewellery boxes, first began. What is known, however, is that at least since 1966, when US President Lyndon Johnson enacted a presidential order, Father’s day has been celebrated on the third Sunday of June every year. It is a tradition that still, to this day, has a special place in the hearts of many and, provides the perfect excuse to treat your father to the stylish set of One Bond Street’s sterling silver cufflinks, the bespoke bangle or wooden lacquered jewellery box that he so deserves!
