Husband Appreciation Day Gift Guide
Saturday 17th April is Husband Appreciation Day and we think giving him a thoughtful gift is the perfect way to show him just how much you appreciate everything he does. We asked some of the Ernest Jones team for some gifting inspiration, read on to find out some of their favourite picks!
What is Husband Appreciation Day?
What is Husband Appreciation Day? We hear you ask. Well, look at it this way – it’s more romantic than Father's Day with less pressure than Valentine's Day. Husband Appreciation Day is on the third Saturday in April – which, this year, makes it 17th April. The day officially set aside to let the man in your life know how much you love him. He might have forgotten to change that lightbulb, taken the dog for a walk and the washing machine still needs fixing, but let’s be honest, we wouldn’t have them any other way.
To Me, You Are Perfect
Ok, so life is not like a movie (you might recognise the title of this section from Love Actually). But the question is, what can you do on 17th April to show him just how perfect he is to you? Easy. Of course, you can wine-and-dine him, but we think there’s something even more thoughtful in selecting the perfect gift. Something that shows him how much you appreciate all the things (big and small) he does.
Based on our experience when shopping for the men in our lives, there are two categories of gifters. The first camp looks to the internet for help and regularly asks Google, ‘What is a special gift for your husband’. The second camp, however, are those people particularly good at knowing exactly what to buy.
If you fall in to the former, then you probably find it a tricky task, no matter how much you love or know said man. Sometimes, there’s so much pressure to find that perfect, one-of-a-kind gift that we end up going back to our go-to safety net of neckties and socks. So one way to make it more exciting is to think outside the box and opt for something you know he’ll appreciate – which is where we come in.
Luckily, we’re always at your service when it comes to finding that perfect present, so we turned to some of the Ernest Jones team for the insider scoop on great gifts for husbands. Curious to see what Charlotte, Meera and Ally would buy for their loved ones? From quintessential (yet seriously stylish) cufflinks to sleek stationery – read on to see what they picked. (Feel free to take all the credit – we won't tell him the source of your amazing gift idea).
Special Gifts Your Husband Really Wants
Hamilton Watch
Our Assistant Online Trading Manager, Charlotte married Jon on 14th June 2019.
They were 16 when their eyes met across the cereal aisle (ok, maybe not) but they did work in a supermarket together.
Their secret to a long-lasting, loving relationship? Football.
And even though they root for rival teams, they are proof that a little healthy competition goes a long way.
Charlotte picked this stylish watch for Jon, because after all, time flies when you’re having fun.
Montblanc Pen
Meera is our UX Product Manager, and she met her husband Pranab at school.
She got his attention by racking up a huge phone bill (let’s just say it wasn’t love at first sight).
After becoming close and dating for 12 years, they tied the knot in August 2018.
For their ten year anniversary, Pranab planned a surprise four day getaway to Venice.
To Meera’s disappointment, a proposal did not come that holiday. But the romantic that he is, knew she was expecting it.
So, he waited another six months before getting down on one knee and completely taking her breath away.
And it’s for that reason, that Meera has chosen a sleek Montblanc pen for her husband.
After all, who wouldn't appreciate somewhere to jot down those brilliant thoughts? And as we’re a firm believer in making sure you have your surroundings in check before you start working (a desk is so much more than workspace), a great pen is the perfect start for channeling that creative energy.
Gucci Cufflinks
Ally our very talented Graphic Designer married her husband James in December 2018.
They met at a pool party in Las Vegas. After a long-distance relationship (Ally is American), James proposed in New York and they eventually settled in London.
James is her rock and to show her appreciation, she decided on a very stylish pair of Gucci cufflinks. After all, every woman loves a man who dresses well.
Leather Bracelet
At Ernest Jones, you might not be surprised to hear that we talk about jewellery a lot.
So, we thought we’d throw this bracelet into the gift mix. The modern man’s must-have, it boasts a sophisticated steel fastening for a contemporary finish.
And ladies, don't forget that it's Wife Appreciation Day on 19th September, so be sure to give your man a nudge. Husbands, we’re on hand for gift ideas for her too.
