Spending Time with Jord

Do you have those people in your life who are just hard to buy for?  My parents come to mind. They really don’t want or need a whole lot (really, do any of us?).  Finding unique gift ideas for Christmas can sometimes be a challenge with all the different folks in our lives.

Writing this blog has been such a joy to me and to be able to share some fun things with my parents is extra special.  I get to work with lots of great brands and try out products that I might not normally run across.  I have always loved wearing pretty watches and even though most of us don’t really need them anymore, because we have our cell phones handy, stylish watches are still fun to wear as a fashion accessory.  I shared my Jord watch (affiliate link) with you awhile back and they contacted me again about working together and this time I got to share the blessing with my parents.

His and hers watches?  Yes, please!  When I asked them if they were interested in a wooden watch, they were all excited about it.

The were pleased as punch with their new Jord watches. These really are so pretty and unique, with different wood species and tones being used.

Dad in his blue shirt and brown watch, he got the Fieldcrest Green Sandlewood.  I know he has showed off his watch to his Sunday School class by now.  Some of the folks at their church read my blog.

It sort of has a greenish cast to it and looks good on him and with a large face, it’s easy to read.

Mom got the Zebrawood and Maple in the Fieldcrest series.

Isn’t this pretty?  She has been wearing it a lot, so I think she likes it!

Jord has a large variety of wooden watches available and most of them are quite affordable. Some of them are quartz watches with batteries and the one I got is a winding one, so no battery needed.

I have so enjoyed my Cora series, Zebrawood and turquoise watch and wear it a lot.  It’s nice to have a watch that is a fashion statement and classic piece of jewelry.

If you’re looking for a unique gift idea this Christmas, this just might fit the bill for that hard to buy for person in your life.  My parents are very much enjoying sporting their new Jord watches (affiliate link).

    Beautiful watches on beautiful people! I always love seeing your parents in your posts, Rhoda. Time flies – may the watches be a reminder not to waste a minute of time with your family. I’m not a frequent commenter, but speaking of time flies: I have been following your blog daily for more than five years now!

    These are pretty and a good gift.

    I have a lot of elderly friends and none of them want anything but my time, so I make crystallized ginger & or a fat chocolate salami and ask them if I can come for tea.

    And I ask my friends to make sure their photos have, written in ink on the back, who the photos are of and when and where it was taken!

    It is amazing & wonderful how many memories and how much joy can be had by the gifts of love & time.

    Thanks for your blog.

      Sally, that’s a great idea. They do just want our time and our family tries to get together as often as we can.

      Sorry, Mary, I get much more positive feedback on the fashion posts than negative, so I’ll keep them up. Fashion and clothing is something that most women I know are interested in and it’s only once a week.
