My boyfriend and I were long distance all throughout college so holidays were a big deal to us. We wanted to use that time to celebrate each other and say how important the other person is in our lives.
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and if you’re in a similar situation to me then you’re probably thinking what am I going to get the man in my life? When JORD approached me about a collaboration, I knew this was exactly what I was looking for. A sleek and stylish watch at a reasonable price point. Guys, I think I may have found the perfect gift to give that loved one in your life or even treat yourself because you deserve it.

WHAT TO GET THE MAN IN YOUR LIFE THIS VALENTINE’S DAY…
I can easily think of gift ideas for women because I can base that on what I would love to receive or what other women I know would love to receive – see my previous gift guides here.
For a man it’s a bit harder, especially since I prefer not to give the same type of gift twice. You have no idea how many video games I have given my boyfriend over the years, but now it was time for something more mature since we have been in the workforce for a few years.
I feel there are two main types of men when it comes to gift giving:
a) a man who buys himself everything so there is nothing left for you to buy or
b) a guy who is so simple that he doesn’t really want anything, which is just as difficult.
My boyfriend would be the latter. He is simple and casual – jeans, t-shirt, and hoodie for most days. He’s not the type of guy to change his watch according to occasion or outfit so I love that this ebony JORD wood watch goes with everything. The texture of the wood keeps it casual but the face is sleek and stylish. Also, being an Engineer, I knew he would love to see the inner workings of the watch, which I think makes this specific style truly unique and look much more expensive than it is.
For an even more memorable gift this Valentine’s Day, JORD allows you to engrave your watch when purchasing through their site. Learn more about it here.
JORD sells men and women’s watches so if you’re thinking you love the style of their watches and would rather treat yourself then you are in luck. I am loving the simplicity of this watch to take you from day to night.

Thank you so much! You have made my day. When I create a post, I always hope that I am helping someone or giving them a good idea 🙂
This watch is super nice! AND my husband is looking for a watch so this might be the perfect Valentine’s Day purchase for him… Although I worry as watches are super personal, haha! Wish me luck! 🙂

Thank you! I completely understand that “jewelry” can be such a personal thing, and people can be particular about their pieces. If he doesn’t like it, it looks like JORD has a good return policy though.
These are absolutely fabulous tips to hel someone decide what to get their significant other for Valentines Day!

Thank you so much! That is so kind 🙂
What interesting watches! I really like the different wood styles, especially on the women’s version you recommended. I wear a lot of mixed metal rings and bracelets, and I think having a watch in wood and not another metal might be great with that combination. Sometimes putting on a watch with a metal band can add too many colors of metal and make it look slightly off. (Also, I forwarded this link to a friend of mine who’s always complaining that she has no idea what to get her husband on holidays and she says thanks for the idea!)

Aww thank you! That is so nice of you, Ashley. I really appreciate that you’re passing the link to one of your friends. I love that the watches are simplistic, and can go with everything. Especially, if you were different metals. It’s a nice way to not have to think about what jewelry you’re pairing together 🙂
I love your outfit in this post! I also love the Jord watches. Great recommendation!

Thanks for commenting! You would think being with a guy who doesn’t really want anything is good, but it means there are endless possibilities for gifts 🙂
