When it comes to gifts, unique, heartfelt and personalized items or experiences are at the top of my list. Valentine’s Day at our house is a pretty relaxed affair, but I use the occasion as a reminder to be grateful for the loved ones in my life and to let them know how special they are to me. It’s about creating that moment that will be remembered with a smile for years to come.
Anything engraved or monogrammed always makes my heart flutter. It’s that added gesture to show someone that a gift is “just for them.” JORD creates beautiful wood watch designs AND offers a customized engraving option. The perfect Valentine’s Day gift? I think so.
As a long-time admirer of JORD watches on Instagram, I was thrilled when they contacted me to try out one of their unique wood watches and to host a giveaway for $100 towards one of their timepieces (just in time for Valentine’s Day!). Scroll down for entry details.
Unique wood materials
With a great selection of unique timepieces for both men and women in various designs and using different woods, there’s a JORD watch to match every style. My husband Ryan’s hobby is carpentry, so he’s always going on about how each type of wood has unique attributes and a distinct look. The variations of the woods JORD uses in their watches make each piece one-of-a kind and as individual as the wearer. Their website even gives an overview of the characteristics, sources and sustainability of the woods used in their products.
JORD Frankie Ebony & Gold
I chose the Frankie Ebony & Gold, which is a perfect complement to my minimalist style and aesthetic. The ebony wood strap and case is dark and rich – almost black – in colour. The Frankie has a large watch face with simple gold details, which makes it a chic statement piece that elevates any outfit in my rather basic and monochromatic capsule wardrobe. I’ve received many compliments when wearing this unique watch and people are always intrigued when I mention that it’s made out of wood!
Custom engraving – the perfect personalized gift
The engraving really does add a special touch. I chose to have my wood watch engraved with the first letters of my and my husband’s names, together with the coordinates of where we first met – overseas while living abroad in Berlin. Ryan once gifted me a necklace with the coordinates of Berlin Mitte, and I thought it was such a beautiful idea that captured a moment in time that holds so many wonderful memories for us.
The detail in the design of these unique wood watches is beautiful and JORD’s packaging is no exception. The watch comes in a lovely cedar wood case, which is perfect for gifting. JORD even offers engraving for the case –such a beautiful keepsake!
