home | preparing for the season and a simple gift guide for the man in your life



It's almost that time of year--one of my favorite times. Although I am fully enjoying autumn, in order to have a slow, worshipful and homey Christmas, I prefer to do some Christmas shopping in advance. Each year I try to gather gift ideas and have my Christmas shopping finished by the first week in December. After that, I can wrap, bake, craft, drink hot cocoa, watch movies, celebrate each week of Advent and snuggle to my heart's desire.

Gifting to others is one of my favorite things. My mother is probably my favorite person to purchase gifts for, because I know her taste so well and she enjoys gifts as much as anyone I know. Generally speaking, most of the ladies in my life are pretty easy to shop for. It's the men that are hard! My husband, especially. He keeps things pretty simple and doesn't like having a lot of "stuff". He's not into cologne, he doesn't wear ties anymore (his job lets him keep things less casual then previous jobs), and he isn't a big reader. Those are the things I first think of to purchase for a man.

After that, I'm kind of out of ideas.

I feel like many women may have the same difficulties, so I've teamed up with JORD watches to create a guide for the man in your life, however particular he may be! This guide covers something extra special budget-wise, to something for those on a tight budget.

*Also, be sure to take a peek at the end of this post for a $25 discount on their site and link to a pretty amazing giveaway!*



1. A nice watch. You guys. This men's watch is made of wood (what!), and its even more pretty (handsome?) in person. Seriously, these watches are amazing. Comfortable, unique, gorgeous. JORD has quite a few kinds of unique watches and they are easy to dress up or down. One thing I like about wearing watches is how it keeps us a little more attentive to each other. Adam and I try to mostly keep our phones put away when our whole family is together. However, we have noticed that there are no clocks in our house because we are used to just checking a phone! He likes wearing a watch to keep track of time...and look pretty smoking hot, if I do say so myself. You can also win credit to their shop in a giveaway here

2. A night out. One thing Adam and I regularly gift each other is a nice date-night. Instead of a physical gift, we get a babysitter and spend an evening out to dinner and, this time of year, looking at Christmas lights or shopping. 


3. Bluetooth speaker. This little guy is amazing. We turn it on all. the. time. and love that we can hear music all over the house! The quality is great, as well.

4. Something homemade. Adam really loves when I bake for him. Surprising him with a homemade meal and special dessert for a "date night in" after the kiddos go to bed is just about as meaningful to him as any physical gift. 


5. This leather wallet. It's soft. It's minimal. It's not fat and chunky. You can hardly tell when this wallet is in someone's pocket, and it is just real handsome. 

Whatever you do, be sure your guy feels all the loves this season. xo
