Off the Cuff: Gift Idea for the Groom

Posted Monday, June 30, 2008 1:24 PM

While many brides opt to gift their grooms with a pair of nice cuff links for the wedding day, most of the popular styles (aka monogrammed and set in silver) seem very traditional in style -- nice, but traditional. That's why these playful cuff links caught our eye…

These stylish numbers are from Eco Artware cuff-links (you can check them out online here) -- where they make all their cuff links from recycled products like scrabble game pieces and computer parts.
For a city wedding, check out the cuff links made from old subway tokens (they have New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, and Washington D.C.). For the baseball lover, go for the ones made from recycled wood stadium seats in Yankee Stadium, Wrigley Field, or RFK Stadium (the blue ones above are from Yankee Stadium). My personal favorites are the ones made from typewriter keys -- the old-school typeface and vintage setting together create the perfect blend of class and kitsch. 

What about you? Are you giving a gift to your fiance for the wedding day?

I happened to find this when I logged in tonight..and I love the Style File! It's actually in my favorite Knot blogs :) And yes, I'm giving FI a gift. Cufflinks, actually...but they're college-football themed. He's got permission to access my Knot account to help with planning, though, so I won't reveal the team ;)

Very cute. I would rather give my business to a small artist for unique jewelry, but I like the company and the products. The Scrabble tiles are especially fun because I haven't seen that before. I dunno if I'd want a cufflink that said "backspace" though.
