Happy Birthday Prince Philip!

Today Prince Philip reaches the grand old age of 90 years. The Duke of Edinburgh is perhaps best known for putting his foot in his mouth with a series of potentially offensive remarks over the years. However, his quips have always been taken in the good spirit in which they are meant and HRH has been taken very much to the nation's heart. With the Royal Wedding still proving to be a talking point and the Diamond Jubilee on the horizon, it is a busy time to be royalty. These Gold Crown Novelty Cufflinks are just the job for any engagements you have coming up!

F1 Fans Revving up for Montreal Grand Prix

This weekend Formula 1 hits Montreal. Unsurprisingly Sebastian Vettel is the bookmakers' favourite to win but Lewis Hamilton is the leading challenger and British motor sport fans will no doubt be watching closely after an eventful race in Monaco.

For those watching on TV, this Canada Flag Novelty Tie would help set the mood nicely and at £9.99 you don't need to have Bernie Ecclestone's wealth to buy one! If you have a favourite driver of a particular nationality we have a huge range of Flag Cufflinks at the even better price of £9.95.

Rear of the Year Winners Announced...

Carol Vorderman and Anton du Beke have been unveiled as the winners of Rear of the Year for 2011. It has to be said that the female winner was a shock result given the press coverage of Pippa Middleton's bottom since the Royal Wedding.



Do you know someone with a cute ass? If so, this novelty tie would be a cheeky gift for them!

Make Father's Day!

Just a quick reminder that it is Father's Day on Sunday 17th June, so there is just over a week left to buy something to make the old man smile!

How about this novelty tie - providing he has a sense of humour!!! If you are looking for something a bit more special, there is a wide range of designer ties and Simon Carter cufflinks.

Keep checking the Ties Planet website as there will be some interesting new products added over the next couple of days - just in time for Father's Day!

Jacko Fans to be Thrilled

A 'Music Icons' auction in late June will see Michael Jackson's iconic 'Thriller' jacket up for sale. However, with a guide price of $200,000 to $400,000 the winning bidder will need deep pockets!

Fortunately for Michael Jackson fans, we stock a much more sensibly priced item of Thriller memorabilia. The wallets pictured are just £6.99 and can be found by following this link:
