Buy a Tie Bar

A men's tie bar is a subtle way to add distinction to a necktie. You can find bejeweled tie bars, simple gold or silver ones--even tie bars that look like golf clubs and other fun emblems. The perfect gift for the man who has everything, a tie bar is ideal for extra-special occasions but also makes a personal statement when worn to work daily.

        Decide on a budget. You can find inexpensive tie bars at discount stores--or spend close to $1000 at Tiffany's. If you're shopping for a monumental occasion, like a groom's gift or a college graduation, you might want to stick to the high end of the budget. In most cases you can find nice tie bars for $100 or less.

        Think about what kind of statement you want your tie bar to make. A simple brass tie bar is refined and elegant, while diamonds or other jewels hint at luxury. If you want to show your allegiance to a sports team or a hobby, you can find tie bars that will express this aspect of your personality. Southwestern themed tie bars will show your "country boy" roots, while ornate ones suggest you're someone who notices the details.

        Shop for tie bars. You can go to jewelry stores, men's clothing stores like Men's Wearhouse, gift boutiques and discount department stores like Marshall's. Around holiday time and Father's Day, you'll find the largest array of tie bars to choose from--so if you can wait until then, you'll have easy pickings.

        Consider engraving the tie bar if it's a gift. Tiffany's engraves for free--otherwise, you can find engraving kiosks at most malls, or try the store Things Remembered.

        Keep your tie bar in a men's valet tray or in the box it came in to keep it in brand-new shape. You can have it cleaned periodically at a jewelry store if you wear it every day.
