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?

The dreamiest details, the dreamiest memories ✨🤍 #annafillybrides #annafillyphotography
I am a momma of four little ones. Four little live I am a momma of four little ones. Four little lives look to me for comfort, direction & love. It’s the most magical calling. My days are filled with play & discovery & my nights are filled with feedings, reassurances & sleeplessness. I have struggled so much with balance in this season. Is the work/motherhood balance ever perfect ? (Asking for a friend 🙋🏻‍♀️). One thing raising four little kiddos ages 3 & under has taught me is that it all goes by waaaaay to quickly. This season won’t last forever. It won’t be long before Judah starts grade school & Lina starts to walk. Before I know it ,our foster son will be joining a sports team & our foster daughter will crawling. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The most meaningful moments are found in what seems to be the most mundane.  Knowing my kids, loving them & growing with them means I must forsake all else & just be with them. To me, that’s what matters most about being a mommy. Letting go of expectations, people pleasing & perfection is the key. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love this season. It’s grown me leaps & bounds. It is such an honor. It’s a joy to be called “mommy”. I have incredible women who have raised me & walked along side me throughout my life. I am so grateful for each of them & all they have taught me. I’m grateful for my foster children’s birth mom. She’s such a beautiful human ! I’m in awe of the moms that I get to do life with & they ways they love their families.  Motherhood is hard & wonderful, selfless & humbling. I have never been more grateful for this little life 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And to the women yearning to be mommas, I see you. I have been in your shoes. Your yearning is not in vain. And to the ladies broken by their lack of a mother, I love you. You are not alone 🤍
Yesterday was all kinds of wonderful. 🌸✨🌿🍾

Cait & Brad celebrated their love with their most favorite people in Richmond, Virginia. Bright colors, tender moments & JOY echoed in every detail of their wedding day. It was so much fun capturing them !!

These last two weeks have held so much for our little family. One day I will share all that has happened & I will ooo and ahh over the ways the Lord has been ever faithful. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But for now, I will say this: God is gracious & kind. Our family is thrilled to welcome our foster son’s littlest sister into our home. This sweet baby was born one week ago today. I got to be in the delivery room with her momma & cheer her on as she brought this precious baby into the world. She’s so lovely. She looks just like her brother did when he was first born ! The resemblance is breathtaking. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our family is so grateful for these birth parents, for this new life & that our journey with them gets to continue. Foster care is hard, but it is beautiful. I will never stop praising Jesus for asking us to trust him in this way. It has been one of our greatest journeys.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And in case you’re doing the math, we have four kids, three and under (3, 13 months, 9 months & a newborn) living under one roof 😉
When your bestie finds the love of her life, she s When your bestie finds the love of her life, she sparkles ✨🤍

Karley has been by my side for twenty years. Countless sleepovers, memories & adventures have been woven together to create our sweet friendship. She is the first to pack a bag & be on a plane before you can even ask where she’s going. She’s a snuggle bug, a deep feeler & has the most beautiful appreciation for meaningful things. I love that about her. She has a zeal for whimsy & loves to experience the fullness of life.

Then came Matthew, the kind, well grounded man who swept her off of her feet. Matthew is hospitable, thoughtful, warm & fun. He’s the first to hug you & feed you, offering you company & conversation as you sit at his table.

When Karley fell in love with Matthew, all of her friends did too because he let Karley be exactly who she was, & somehow she became better.

Their friendship has blessed Dave & I so much. I am thrilled to celebrate this season of engagement with them. Soon & very soon these two will be married. You better believe I’ll be laughing & crying that whole entire day !! #annafillybrides
