Unique Gift: Wrist Watch [review + Giveaway]

Ever since I can remember, a metal watch has been my preferred style for a watch. The look and the design were classic. However, metal watches can be heavy and some people might have skin sensitivities to metal watches. A wooden watch is a great alternative to the metal band! Jord Wooden Watches offer a unique gift of a lightweight watch, natural wooden band, and high quality quartz watch mechanics.

The Good	The Not So Good
Made from natural wood (pre-treated)
Citizen Miyota 2035 movement
Lightweight

Jord wooden watches are much more than just watches. Made from natural woods and finished with natural Tung Oil, these are statement pieces for the nature conscious and eco-friendly conscious person. The wooden watches are made from a variety of natural woods. The wood covers the face and makes up the watch band. Movement options include: self-winding automatic mechanical, multi-function self-winding automatic mechanical, battery powered (quartz), and battery powered chronograph. Glass is scratch-resistant. Basically, these are high quality watches, but the band and face cover are made from wood. The deployment buckle with push buttons is made from metal.

I did a little research on Tung Oil because I had never heard of it before. It is a natural oil that has been used for thousands of years for pre-treating wood. Pure tung oil is pressed from a seed, but I'm sure there are many diluted and mixed tung oils available for purchase.

The watch itself, the design, the mechanism, and the working were high quality and what I would expected. I've owned several higher-end watches because they last for a very long time. Jord is definitely a competitor there based on what I have seen so far.

The watches comes packaged very well in a cute little wooden box. Perfect for gift giving!

One of the things that struck me the most about this watch was how lightweight the wood was. I am used to wearing a heavier metal watch (even though the watch is slim), so it was nice to have a watch that is a little lighter. I almost forgot I was wearing it!

 

 Another thing that I liked was the color of the Red Sandalwood. The color popped against most outfits and created a nice accessory. I don't usually wear a lot of accessories like bracelets and jewelry, so the watch was a nice addition.

Jord offers high end watches for both men and for women. If you are looking for a unique Father's Day gift or for an eco-friendly friend, Jord wooden watches are perfect!

Pediped Lightweight Sneakers for Children [review + GIVEAWAY]

Pediped shoes have always been a favorite of our family, from the beginning! Pediped shoes have held up really well and the styles are always adorable. More importantly than that, the shoes provide the right support for growing feet. As my 3 year old is now a confident walker with a solid stride, the Pediped Flex line offers lightweight sneakers and as close to barefoot shoes for toddlers as you can get.

Scroll through to the end for a chance to WIN a pair of Pediped shoes!

Pediped Flex Force                
Pediped Flex Gehrig              

Rating: total green check marks out of 5.

The Good	The Not So Good
High quality materials	Sizes run a little big
Adorable style
Flexible sole
Machine washable

Pediped Flex - Force athletic style sneakers in grey and lime are a great summer sneaker. While open toed sandals are usually our go to shoe in the summer, having a lightweight sneaker that is water-safe and machine washable is a must have. One of my favorite features of this shoe is the super flexible sole. The sole is made from rubber and phylon. It is more flexible than usual outsoles, which is great for providing comfort and structure. The sole reminds me a lot of barefoot shoes, which are very important for children's feet as they allow for proper foot development.

The Force's main feature is the Ultra Light Technology - breathable mesh upper, heel cushion, water-safe, machine-washable, and ultra light weight of 5 oz.

The Flex Fit System provides additional insoles that can be insert for a snugger fit as the feet grow. I've used this system before when the shoes were a little large for my son's foot and was able to get more than one season of wearing the shoes.

 

 

Fit: Pediped Flex shoes seem to fit big (half to 1 size bigger) on my son. My son has slimmer fit. Force's were about 1/2 bigger on my son. I used the Flex Fit System for a snugger fit. He was running around the house in the shoes, so they weren't too big on him. Though I will either pair them with thicker socks or wait several months before he wears them on a daily basis. The design of the shoes fit his slim foot very well.

 

 Results: My 3 year old son did not want to take these athletic-style sneakers off. He wore them around the house all afternoon. I like the style of the shoe because it is athletic, but more on the neutral color side with a little pop of color. The shoes open up wide enough for him to be able to get them on himself. The super flexible sole will be great for playing outdoors. These shoes are also water friendly.

----------

Pediped Flex - Gehrig is another sneaker style closed toed shoe in night blue with orange accents. This style reminds me more of European soccer type sneakers. These shoes are a little less atheltic looking than the Force style. Gehrig shoes are made from a synthetic upper, breathable mesh lining, flexible rubber sole, and velcro closure (2 part).

The sole is on the thinner side, which is similar to barefoot shoes and is great for developing feet.

The Flex Fit System provides additional insoles that can be insert for a snugger fit as the feet grow. I've used this system before when the shoes were a little large for my son's foot and was able to get more than one season of wearing the shoes.

Fit: The width of the shoe is pretty standard. This style fits 1/2 size large.  My son has slimmer fit. As with the Force's, using the Flex Fit System will help provide a better fit. The toe cap is a little on the smaller side.

Results: The Gehrig shoe is a great all around shoe to have in my son's closet. The style is casual enough to get dirty playing in the park, but also dressy enough to pair with khakis for church.

 

To Clean: Both shoes are machine washable. Allow to air dry or use a shoe drying insert in the dryer on low to medium heat. I have also found that just using a damp rag to wipe dirt off has worked well.

I would highly recommend Pediped shoes for 3 reasons:

1. High quality design focus on shoe technology and developing feet
2. Water-safe, washable and dryable
3. Flexible and comfortable (rubber outsole)

I have purchased and always recommend Pediped shoes to anyone with children. The focus on shoe technology to support growing and developing feet results in comfortable shoes with adorable designs. The styles with thinner soles makes great child barefoot shoes that provide support and flexibility for growing feet.
