Being married with two kids (twins, age 11), I can always count on my family to expand my 30 year cufflink collecting hobby year after year. In 2012 and 2013, I received these as gifts. The crocodiles were from the wife for our anniversary in 2012. The ducks and penguins were gifts from the kids for birthday & Christmas, 2013. The kids picked them out (son picked the ducks and daughter picked the Penguins).
I believe all three pairs are from Saks Fifth Avenue (more than likely the Off 5th outlet).
I wear these often, but obviously the sentimental value trumps any fashion or monetary value. The Penguins are a bit challenging to wear at times, as they do not go well with a white or light colored dress shirt as they just disappear into the cuff, so I only wear those when I'm donning a dark or powder blue shirt.
Christmas and birthday are coming up, so I'm looking forward to see what new little guys will be joining the family!
Sweet gifts, especially from your children, the best!
Agreed! Plus, they've got some pretty good taste. I always get nice comments on these when I wear them. Thanks for the comment and the love!
Amazing collection, I love alls!
Virginia: Thank you for the kind words. I hit a jackpot this morning at the swap meet. Will be posting several more soon. ????
Thanks to you! Im discovering your collection, amazing!
Nice, I will wait for more posts ;)
Awww.....Sweet!!
Thank you Virginia! I plan on posting more this week. I have quite a few more collectibles to talk about. Not necessarily cufflinks (though I could easily talk about those all day), but just random vintage collectibles in general. Please look out for them!
antiquerose: Thank you! Just wore the penguins again the other day by kid's request. And given the weather, they are rather appropriate. ;)
