Ok, this post is a little random. But I recently learned about a new site that does one thing and does it well: sell ties. The site, www.wearcacti.com, offers free shipping and ties as low as $9 (if you order 5 ties). I actually ordered tie #21 (I wanted a little Trump vibe) and was very happy with the quality. Looking back, I should have ordered 3 ties for $11 each since I’ve been wearing the same ties for years.

I loved the simplicity of the wearcacti site. It reminds me of Google’s bare-bones simple interface. You can buy 1, 3, or 5 ties at an increasing discount. The selection is small at this point but I talked with an owner and he indicated they will be expanding their selection soon. If you’re in need of a tie update, check it out.

On an even more random note, here are a few sites that explain how to tie a neck tie:
Plezer
Krawattenknoten
