Gift Question... be honest -UPDATED at the bottom

I found cufflinks from Tiffanys for DH. I love them, but in my search I found what seems to be the exact same thing from fortunoffs... The only difference is that they are not "tiffanys" and there is a significant price difference... the tiffany ones are 250, plus tax ... and the fortunoff ones are 104...tax and shipping and gift wrap.

Which would you buy? Would you care about "the name? "



*** ETA*** I decided on the fortunoff ones...If he lost the ones for 250- I would not be a happy wife! And he will NOT care about the name at all... As long as they are the same quality and had the same shine, I am happy...and someone who saw them both said they are identical! SO...fortunoff it is!


Now-do you like them?

Shorty(Nicole) said she saw both and they are the same, so I am going to go with the fortunoff ones...

Re: Gift Question... be honest

Most men could care less where they are from. Tiffany means nothing to them. I know my DH wouldn't care or know the difference.

Oh, and they are identical! Buy the less expensive pair, and use the remaining money to go out to dinner or something.

Definitely buy the fortunoff links. Tiffany's name is not worth an additional $150. Chat Icon
