To be honest, I don't really know how to spend this card and I know it's a silly question. I was thinking about buying a BB umbrella, but some of the comments that I have found is making me think twice about buying one. How are BB ties? I see that they have some slim ties and I might just get one or two and pay the difference. Any ideas on how to best use my gift card at their store will be greatly appreciated!

Ties are fine, but generally too wide for me. I assume you don't want to put it towards a more expensive item like a suit, but with the 30% off sale currently on, you could probably get good deal. If you are still stuck, go for socks, pajamas or boxer shorts. To me these are some of their best deals.

No, I'm not interested in getting a new suit at this time right now. Yea, I saw that thread and good idea! Edit: How's the quality of their Cedar Shoe Tree? I think cedar is the preferred material right? It's $28 and that seems like a nice price. I'm also thinking of getting a shoe horn. What do you think? $38 for a brass shoe horn?

They have a lot of boxers on clearance. I like their boxers a lot, especially at $9 a pair.

Black Fleece ties are really nice, and decently narrow as well. If you really can't think of anything to buy with the card, I'll buy it for $90, haha.

How about a pair of shoes from the clearance section? The C&J-made split-toes are $150 is you open up a BB card and use the 30% code. That means around $65 out of pocket for C&J's after tax and shipping with the gift card. Not bad.
