Gift for a Man Who Has Everything: 10 Ideas He Cannot Buy
The best gift for a man who has everything is one that did not exist until you asked for it: a commissioned piece built around his story, such as a band set with real diamonds and engraved with the place he grew up, or his father's ring remade. He can buy anything in a shop, but not that.

Mangalsutra for Men: The Custom, the Modern Trend and the Debate
A mangalsutra for men is a modern, personal choice, not a tradition: in Hindu weddings the groom ties the mangalsutra on the bride, and no mainstream custom asks a husband to wear one. Some couples now exchange pieces as a sign of equal partnership, usually a bracelet, ring or pendant, and the idea divides opinion.
