Is a jewellery box for men a terrible idea?

I've seen a nice leather manly one and was thinking about it for dh's cufflinks and collar stiffeners etc. But it's still a jewellery box. Too feminine?

Call it a cufflink box, rather than a jewellery box? Or just make it into a joke Grin

What about a little tray with compartments ( I think Lakeland Limited do them) leather/faux leather lined.
They can put their watch, cufflinks, keys, loose change in it.Otherwise they leave their stuff all over the bloody house

No it is not.

I got one of these for my hubby a few years back. It has around 15-20 little compartments to put things like cufflinks etc in. Lined in green suede and in a walnut or similar box from either m and S or John Lewis. Cannot remember which.

He uses it all the time as he wears suits to work every day so comes in really handy.

Last year, I got him one of these and its really useful too as I hated him leaving all his stuff lying everywhere when he comes back from work.

DH and DS both have cufflink boxes, and they're well used. I've always rather liked the watch boxes that incorporate automatic winding, but never had enough money spare to waste on one - think it would real appeal to DH's love of gimmicks though!
