I wish I had a football tie from one of the teams to showcase, but I don’t. Even so, this Footballs & Helmets Necktie is sure to show your enthusiasm for the game.

It features a red, white and blue checker pattern for a truly patriotic look.  The football accessories alternate with one another and  give it a diagonal striped tie look.

Now I’m off to watch the game…

This Pink Ribbons Tie was designed by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and it is a terrific way to support an important cause.

I love you!

Actually this is my ex father-in-law I’m talking about.

He is like a dad to me. I have known him since high school, when I met and fell in love with his second son. Fast forward 12 years of living in sin followed by 4 years of marriage not working out, his son and I parted ways. It wasn’t easy. It never is. There were 5 years of bumpy roads between me,  my ex and his family.

In the end, we let our bygones be bygones, and re-emerged as good and then great friends. In fact, I am not stretching the truth by saying that we are family. That is a testament to who we are as people – especially considering the fact that there are no children and/or grandchildren between us as the typical binding glue. Think about that.

My like-a-dad and I have a great relationship. Whether we talk every day or once every several months, we are always happy to  hear from one another. We always pick up from where we left off. We genuinely like each other. How great is that?!

I cannot ask for more than the love I share with you, Dad.

P.S. Check out this Birthday Cake Tie – it makes a great gift or a fun accessory to wear to birthday parties!

Today is the Second Annual Working Naked Day, which can mean spending 8 hours au natural – great for work-at-home employees and home based business owners for sure! I suppose I could strip down to my birthday suit as I write this, but why not show you a unique tie perfect for the occasion instead?

The subject matter might not be squeaky clean but  this Two Naked People Tie certainly is!

A resolution proclaiming June 20th as American Eagle Day was approved by Congress several years in a row, not to mention that 28 Governors have signed proclamations giving the Bald Eagle, the official National Bird of the United States, its own day!

I’m glad this day is just weeks before Independence Day because I feel that eagle ties such as this one are a perfect alternative to the patriotic and flag neckties most people wear. Two weeks gives people ample time to pick up bird ties for the Forth of July!

Check out this unique purple tie which features white doves on yellow and orange crossed flags! And it can be worn in support of world peace as well!  Here’s another dove themed necktie you might like.

We’ve got a few tulip ties, but most all of the rest of our other Easter themed ties consist of springtime color patterns in shades of pink, purple, lavender, yellow and light blue.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!

Born on March 24th, 1874, Erik Weisz later became a professional magician and took the name Harry Houdini to pay homage to fellow magicians Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin and Harry Kellar, whom Houdini admired.

While this magic themed necktie features traditional props such as rabbits, top hats, wands, pigeons and playing cards, Houdini was best know as an escape artist.

Today the Houdini Museum in Scranton, Pa, features tours & magic shows! Dorothy Dietrich has continued the tradition of seances at the museum each October 31 (on Halloween, the day Houdini died), in an effort to perhaps finally reach the most famous magician of all time.

If you’re a kid, you’re enjoying the day off as are federal workers. No mail deliveries today, which means you can expect long lines at the post office, as Tuesday becomes this week’s Monday.

Until 40 years ago, this holiday was known as Washington’s Birthday (Feb. 22nd), when it became a national holiday in 1885. Over the years Americans also began honoring Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, which falls on February 12, and in 1971, under President Nixon, the holiday became known as Presidents Day, a day to honor all presidents.

You can’t go wrong with this red, white and blue color All Stars Patriotic Tie was designed by Tommy Hilfiger and is perfect for this holiday! Check out our other Flag & Patriotic Ties as well! If you want just the color without an overt novelty theme, take a look at our Red, White & Blue Neckties page.

I recall when the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area was 215.  Then 610 was added, and a friend tells me that now 484 is an overlay on top of 610.  I remember my old style phone numbers as well: 449- was HI9 (for HILLTOP 9) AND 789- was SU9- (for SUNSET 9).

How about when the entire state of Nevada was telephone area code 702! It was one of the original area codes established in 1947 to cover all of the Nevada, but in 1998 the state was split into area code 775.  Area code 702 now covers the Las Vegas area only – tells you something about the skewed population density of the state!

This Telephone Tie features a bunch of really old fashioned phones and telephone books from way before my time! It is one of the more unusual men’s ties we carry in the Unique Ties section of Novelty Ties. Why not check it out!

No, I’m not just trying to “plug” this tie! A-cord-ing to everyone I’ve spoken to, this necktie has the “power” to “electrify” everyone around you! Make a “connection” with others and get a “charge” out of watching people react to  this unique tie!

That was fun! And so is this tie. It was made by Slice Of Life.  All of their  ties have a pull-through feature so that even the thin end is multi-functional.  No matter what the subject matter, each men’s tie has a large button sized hole located midway up the front of the tie through which to pull the thin end after you’ve tied the knot.

Take a look at the before and after photos of this Electrical Plug Slice of Life Tie. In fact I am lucky to also carry a Spaghetti Dinner Slice of Life Necktie. Both are hard to find and highly collectible. Check out our other Unique Ties – they’re one-of-a-kind finds – I’m “knot” lying (every pun intended! lol)
