If you happen to have a bunch of bowties fall in your lap, remember you might be able to reuse them for more than just fabric.  Pretied bowties are equipped with a set of "hardware" that you can recycle to make your own, if you're so inclined.  Making a bowtie isn't difficult - you can even use the recycled one as a pattern and then get it tied properly.  Then just tack it together and attach the hardware so your man doesn't have to tie that perfect bow himself.
