I have to admit, I am pretty great at selecting the perfect gift. I listen to every word my family says, and really put a lot of thought into selecting both meaningful and personal gifts they will enjoy well past Christmas morning. Last year, I totally nailed it with Billy Joel piano books for my husband and a BB-8 droid for my son. My five year old son really wants a bow and arrow and a green Power Ranger suit this year. I am pretty sure we can count on Santa to make sure he gets them. My husband and my daughter, who is one, are not as vocal as my son, so I have to listen closely and rely on my intuition to help me select the most perfect gifts.
Five Tips for Selecting the Perfect Gift
- Be a good listener– Whether it’s someone saying “look at this” or “I’d like that” they are giving you a hint of what they are into.
- Keep an eye out– What aisles are they spending just a little too long in at Target? Is there a shirt they lingered over at Nordstrom?
- Make a list– Every time they mention they are into something or want something write it down. Even if it’s not near the holidays. I keep a list year round in the notes section of my iPhone, so I have the perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas.
- Make it personal– select something that really connects. Listening to my husband play any music warms my soul, and playing it feeds his. Piano books were an obvious choice.
- Select a timeless gift– You can never go wrong with choosing something classy and traditional like a beautiful watch.
This year, I selected a beautiful wood watch from JORD for my husband. There were so many amazing choices, but I went with the Zebrawood & Navy from the Frankie Collection. JORD watches are more than just a timepiece. They are a beautiful piece of art made from gorgeous wood from around the world. My husband is an musician with a degree in accounting. I love that his modern JORD watch will fit into both of his worlds.

I have been see and reading about these Jord wood watches popping up all over the place for sometime now. They really caught my eye at the very first. Thinking both the hubby and I each need a new wooden watch for the Christmas season and beyond.

Jord watches are truly beautiful. Surprisingly, I think watches are coming back into style. My nearly 17 year old son loves watches. When he wears ones his friends say “nice ice.” 🙂
