Citizen Gold Tone Men’s Watch

If you are like many, many women out there, the only piece of jewelry you have considered buying for (or with!) your husband is your wedding ring. If he’s like many men, that may be the only piece of jewelry he wears. And that is precisely the thing that makes jewelry such a great birthday gift! Aside from the fact that it’s very personal, it’s long-lasting, it’s useful and it is a gift he is not likely to get from anybody else. So stay at the forefront of his mind, with some of these clever ideas for January birthday gifts for your husband.

If your husband is born in January, he will be either a Capricorn or an Aquarius – January Capricorns are born from the 1st to the 20th, while January Aquarians are born from the 21st to the 31st. Since (God bless them!), it can be so hard to tell what they are thinking, going by your man’s starsign can be a good guide to the style of jewelry you should be looking at. Capricorns are traditionally very conservative, responsible and formal. So you should be looking at classical pieces, that convey a sense of restrained style or wealth. Aquarians are the exact opposite of Capricorns – they love anything unusual, different, or mould-breaking. They like to be like this themselves, often deliberately going against the grain.

If you, or your husband, is the sort of person that just looks naturally awesome all the time, without adornment (we know you all are!), then a watch can the most useful birthday gift. Gillett’s recently added several fashion brands to the range, including Fossil,  so if your hubby is the hot, hip type, you are sure to find something for him in these ranges.

‘His’ watches are usually a great choice for Aquarians – you’ll find weird and wonderful materials here, and styles that are at home on modern catwalks. If you have a Capricorn other half, try the Citizen range of watches – while the form of the Citizen watches is generally more conventional (although that won’t disappoint a Capricorn!), they have a definite focus on technology, and on maintaining the utmost quality in their product.

Of course, if you have something different in mind, our handy men’s gift finder makes it as easy as it possibly can be to find the right gift for your man. You can refine your searches quickly by price, by the number or type of gemstones in a piece, by the brand, by the type of jewelry (pendants, rings, bracelets etc), and even by width and length in some areas. Good luck, and don’t hesitate to contact us for extra advice!
