Men have an easier time choosing a Valentine's gift. Jewellery, flowers and a box of chocolates form the "holy trinity" of Valentine's presents which are sure to please most women and demand no great creativity on the part of men. Choosing a gift for a man, however, is a rather less straightforward matter. That is why we have put together a list of gift ideas which will, we hope, at least make your task a little easier.

Is winter already slowly drawing to a close? Perhaps, yet we shall still be fully treated to the icy wind for a good few months to come. Thus begins the period when woollen winter scarves are simply too hot, and yet with an unprotected neck one easily catches a chill.

That is why we make the scarves from our spring collection out of light natural materials such as linen, cotton and silk. A beautifully patterned scarf never goes out of fashion and will certainly not be lost in any wardrobe.

Men tend to give jewellery more often than they receive it, and Valentine's Day is the perfect occasion to break this unwritten rule. Does your partner go to the office every day in a suit? Then there is every chance that a pair of striking cufflinks will give him immense pleasure.

Cufflinks, together with a wristwatch and a wedding ring, are the only piece of jewellery belonging to a gentleman's formal outfit. They therefore represent one of the very few ways to bring variety to an often-repeated combination. Unsure how to choose? Do read our article on how to select the finest cufflinks.

Afraid you may miss the mark when it comes to your partner's sense of style? There is not a man in the world who would fail to be delighted by a handmade belt made of the finest leather. So if you are at a loss as to what to give to a practically minded boyfriend, fiancé or husband, you need look no further.

If you are not certain of your partner's size, rather choose a larger number. Trimming a belt to the correct length is no great problem, but lengthening one is something we are unable to manage.

The tie is the alpha and omega of every formal outfit. Whether it looks smart is usually something we judge even before our eyes move to the shirt or the jacket. And although men often wear the same suit several times a week, the tie ought to be changed daily, after each wearing.

Choose your partner one of our silk, cotton or linen ties. With every compliment he receives he will silently thank you.

Fresh, stylish, youthful. If you wish to delight your partner with a gift he does not yet own, braces are an excellent choice. And if, in addition, he is well versed in fashion, there is every likelihood that he has already been considering buying a pair himself. Indeed, in modern outfits we see them more and more often.

Braces also make a wonderful gift because they come in one universal size. There is thus no risk that you might misjudge your partner's size and have to return the present with some difficulty.

Perhaps no accessory takes such a beating as a wallet. We use it quite literally every day, and indeed several times a day. And even though we let no one peek inside, thousands of pairs of eyes will still manage to look at it from the outside over its lifetime.

Have you noticed that your partner's wallet deserves to be replaced? Buy him one from the Blažek collection for Valentine's Day — one that will remind him of you every single day.

Do you wish to delight your partner with a gift and an experience in one? Book him an appointment at our Krejčovství Blažek. We shall tailor a bespoke shirt or a suit for him, with the fabric, cut, colour and pattern of his own choosing.
