Hi


My other half has been in desperate need for some new cufflinks and every birthday, anniversary etx he's been asking for them but I've never been able to find any decent ones. Can anyone recommend where to buy decent cufflinks up to ?80-100?


I think I've always avoided buying them because I have no idea on what constitutes as 'nice' cufflinks (im the same with ties!). He works with lots of clients and consults a lot - would something like plane or car shaped cufflinks be too novelty / tacky looking? Been looking at Paul Smith - are these OTT?

I understand it's personal preference but any constructive advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Agent Sunlover,


Paul Smith or Ted Baker are fine for that price range.


Plain and or Silver are safe as Stevo mentioned, but you can venture away from this as long as the branding is absent or very subtle i.e. avoid a Moschino look.


Your instincts on vehicle shaped are on point.

Am I the only one who loves this Henry guy?


All above is great advice...Avoid novelty...blingy....and branded unless really subtle also good advice. Also avoid too large/chunky and ones with a chain connector which are too fiddley for every day use.


Plain silver is good as it's classic...I also have some great silver squares with a simple amber stone from Portobello market which are great and were approx 40 quid.

Planes/cars can be nice but rare and I wouldn't advise you buy for someone.


Go for something plain, preferably silver and rectangular - there's a shop on Northcross Road - Rigby Mac? - that sells some nice plain ones.


Lastly you shouldn't have to pay more than ?50 unless you're buying gold

Had to be careful how you displayed the Pepe Jeans key ring as well...

Standard 70s/80s although in the 70s you got called a 'poof' fairly widely if you had an earinng full stop. Hardly any blokes had both pierced, except trannies (am I allowed that word? I don't fookin know). Silver or gold Hoop/Hoop & cross or stud were the choices.


At 30ish mine went. Unless you're Kieth Richard, it's a bit sad beyond 30 :(

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
