Something I was really excited about, but also stressing out about a little bit, was deciding what I was going to give Cab as a wedding day gift. This is such special and exciting gift, but my husband is so difficult to shop for, that I just didn't know what to get him.. And I wanted it to be perfect.
Cab doesn't like/own material things. He also doesn't like to spend money. He is the person that if he needs to buy an $8 screwdriver, he'll find one from on Ebay from China for $2 and wait 4 weeks for it. I wish I was exaggerating. His hobbies also include fishing, hunting, and building things. I wanted this gift to be something that he would enjoy and would probably never buy for himself- so my head was spinning!! Until I came across THE perfect gift!
What I Gifted My Husband As A Wedding Gift
Something Cab had not owned is a watch. He had mentioned in the past about how he might want a watch, but he didn't really want to spend the money on one. I wanted to get him a nice watch as his wedding gift, but I couldn't afford anything from Rolex or even TAG. And honestly, he is definitely not a fancy watch kind of guy. So when I came across Hook + Gaff watches, I knew I had found the gift for him!
Hook + Gaff has a few different series of watches, and I ended up going with the King Tide Watch from the Sportsfisher Series for Cab! The number one feature that drew me to this specific watch was the analog tide function that allows you to set the indicator to your local tide cycle! Cab is always checking the tide on his phone, so this specific function was perfect for him!
Cab gifted his groomsmen a pair of alligator skin shoes for them to wear on our big day. Because of this, I went with the Genuine Alligator Watch Strap to match! He also has an alligator skin wallet, so I knew he would absolutely love this special touch to the watch! Hook + Gaff has a ton of different watch strap options depending on what you're exactly looking for! Since Cab sweats a lot day-to-day, and will be fishing on the boat a lot this summer, I am also going to be getting him one of their Rubber Dive Straps to interchange with his leather one!
Hook + Gaff has a ton of different watch options, as well as straps, so there is definitely something for everyone! Even for ladies!! I love the pink strap!
Thanks so much for reading! xo
