Unique Wood Watches: A Distinguished Gift For Him

Leave a Comment

 

Giving gifts has never been my strong suit.  I always over think them!!

The gift needs to show my love for them, right?

Should I do a big gift? I love them big….

What would they REALLY want?

Would they like what I like?

What do I like?

 

The struggle is REAL y’all.  Most usually when gift giving comes around I try to be sentimental, or at least get something that I KNOW the other person will LOVE.  Thankfully, my husband David is the easiest person for me to buy gifts for. He has a knack for casually vocalizing things he likes, and it makes giving him gifts the easiest and most fun thing on the planet!!

David turns 25 this year, so I knew I wanted to get him something special.  25 is a big year! Any time David and I have celebrated anything sentimental (Engagement, wedding, first Christmas as hubby and wife) I’ve gotten David a watch.  Let’s just say I love spending time with him, and I want him to know it !! 😉 ( pun intended).   Thankfully, David LOVES watches, They are the one gift that he always loves receiving.  He can never have too many watches, and I love that! In the past, I’ve purchased Fossil watches for him (he has two) and even an Armani watch.  But for his birthday this year, I wanted something a little different.

Wood Watches as a Groomsmen Gift

When we got married, David discovered wood watches.  Yes, they are exactly what they sound like- watches made from wood!  They have an earthy, natural vibe and David wanted to invest in 10 of them for his groomsmen.  Unfortunately, we couldn’t afford to buy 10 of them for his very best men (#WeddingBudget), but I kept his fondness of wood watches in mind.  

A few weeks before his birthday, I started searching for the perfect wood watch for David’s 25 birthday gift. I discovered Jord (pronounced Yode) when I was scrolling through instagram.  I had seen many other companies that crafted wood watches, but JORD was different.

  The wood watches that JORD crafts are are a sophisticated mix of natural, and largely re-claimed materials, combined with quality movements and components.  Based in St. Louis, this company immediately caught my attention because of their huge variety of intentionally designed wood watches. Not only that, but I could make David’s birthday gift all the more sentimental by engraving the backplate of it!  

Picking a Wood Watch Style for David

David isn’t a flashy guy, so I chose the Kosso and Gray design that JORD offered. David already has a deep brown leather watch he likes, a caramel leather watch he likes AND a black watch, but he didn’t have a watch with a gray face!  The gray face of this watch really is classic, and the wood features truly amazed me. It’s sleek, and can be dressed up or worn casually– definitely the best pick for David!

The best part?  If David didn’t like it, JORD offers free returns or exchanges!  A win win for sure!

I liked David’s watch SO much I had to get one for myself!!!  LOOK, isn’t it SO CUTE?! This style is the Zebrawood and Champagne (Y’all know I love champagne!! ).  Since we love these JORD wood watches so much, we wanted to give YOU the opportunity to get $100 off ANY WATCH of your choosing.  AMAZING, right?

I absolutely LOVE gardening. 🌿🌸🌻🪴🌷 I absolutely LOVE gardening. 🌿🌸🌻🪴🌷

It’s hard, intentional work that produces beautiful bounty. Last year, we were renting a little cottage home and had to do all of our gardening in planters & containers. I was delightfully surprised at just how many herbs & flowers flourished in our little garden.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year, we have more space & have built raised garden beds for our gardens this year. Our front porch is littered with planted pots of herbs, petunias, snapdragons & more.  The back gardens will hold dahlias, cut flowers, and so many new things Ive never grown.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Blooms are beginning & it is bringing me SO much joy !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s your favorite thing to grow ?? I’m super stoked for my strawberry punch superbells and the 16 different dahlia varieties we are planting !

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When Dave & I decided we wanted to foster, we never anticipated how sweet it would be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We were trained to prepare for the worst, to be a safe place for any child and to be ready for a road of uncertainty. Court cases, broken hearts, bad behaviors, learning, growing, grace, compassion … 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, instant connection ? Judah’s indescribable joy ? A burdened, prayerful heart for this baby’s birth mom?  We didn’t expect it 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We have a wild & wonderful journey on our hands. Being 6 months pregnant, with a newborn & a 2 year old, I couldn’t be more grateful (and #tired 😉).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Will you join us in praying for this sweet little babe ? We are so grateful for our community & how you have encircled us in love so much already 🤍🤍
I just got off the phone with the sweetest October I just got off the phone with the sweetest October bride & groom. 🍁

After our call, I got lost in a rabbit hole of past wedding galleries. The images made me relive each day all over again ! I realized I need to share more opportunities to see into a wedding day as an Anna Filly Bride. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have the most radiant couples & the most magical career!! I mean just LOOK at Taylor & Samuel !✨

These days you can find me chasing our toddler, with a 6 month old baby bump, living life as a stay at home mom & part time photographer.  I get the freedom of working from home while also nurturing the hearts of my little ones. #BestJobEver

Some other really fun updates you should know:
1. I’m constantly craving ice cream this pregnancy & have fallen in LOVE with a local favorite - the Blue Cow 🐮 🍦 (& yes Dave & I totally went there on our date).
2. I’ve already started my spring/summer garden & will absolutely confess that there will be 15 different Dahlia types growing in my backyard this year so we needed a huge raised bed (!!!). 🌸
3. My frugal loving self found a @riflepaperco rug for baby girl’s nursery for $70 when online it retails for $300 online (I know, right ?!). Buuuuuuuut I can’t decide if I’m absolutely smitten with it yet, or it I just love the amazing deal. Help me decide !!
