Tips for Buying Jewelry Boxes for Men This Father's Day

While most people think of jewelry boxes as something exclusively for women, men also appreciate something that keeps their belongings safe. Men's jewelry boxes go by many names, including watch boxes and valet boxes, and they are unlike anything made for women. Jewelry boxes for men are made with a sleek, functional and masculine style and wood finish and they come in a variety of styles.

Here are some tips to help you find the best jewelry box to get dad this year for Father's Day.

What Does He Need?

The best way to find a great men's jewelry box that dad will actually use is taking stock of what he has already. If he has a large collection of cuff links, watches and rings, he would make better use of a larger valet box with custom-made drawers and sections to house these accessories and keep them safe. If he has just a few rings and tie pins, a smaller chest will do.

Some men are also more focused on electronics than jewelry and may make better use of a valet and charging station for his smartphone, iPod and other gadgets with smaller sections for a watch, wedding ring and pocket change.

Some popular styles of men's jewelry boxes include: watch boxes to protect the face and band of his watch collection and even keep watches wound; cuff link boxes to store these accessories safely and keep them in pristine collection; valet boxes to store a wallet, money clip, credit cards, keys, loose change, watches, rings and more; and tie tack boxes so dad will always find the right tie for his suit.

What is His Style?

Next, consider dad's style to find a jewelry box for men that he will truly appreciate. Would he appreciate the classic look of a polished wood jewelry box with a lock that showcases the beautiful grain of the wood? Or does he appreciate modern design with a sleek black charging valet or a valet box made from sleek, cool leather? Consider his personality to find something he will be excited to use everyday.

Don't Forget the Details

Finally, don't overlook the details just because you see a style you think he'll love! For example, if you're buying him a watch box, don't forget to check the dimensions to make sure there is enough clearance between the watch and the top of the case with firm, oval pillows to hold the watch securely. Make sure there's space for the accessories he uses the most, whether it's rings, chains or cufflinks.

Regardless of which style you choose, make sure you pick something that reflects dad's unique personality and this Father's Day will be the best he's ever had! Start your search today at JewelryBoxDirect.com to find dozens of beautiful styles to suit any budget.
