5-Year Wood Anniversary Gifts for Him: Koa He'll Actually Use
Five years in, you know the drill: men like things they can actually use. The good news is the 5th anniversary is the wood anniversary, and we weave curly Hawaiian koa into the stuff he'll reach for every day — a watch, a wallet, a ring. Meaningful and useful, which is a rare combo.
Here are the pieces men love most for a wood anniversary.
Our most popular wood-Anniversary Gifts for Him:
The Surfrider Koa Wood Watch
Our flagship — a "curly" Koa face inspired by the great Hawaiian Sport of Kings, hand-finished in Honolulu. Lifeproof and ready for any adventure. The gift that gets the biggest reaction.
The Minimalist Koa Wallet
from the wallet collection. All the mechanical goodness men love — slim front-pocket fit, attaches to a MagSafe phone case, and a flip lever that fans the cards into a neat stack.
A Koa Wood Wedding Band or Ring
from the ring collection. Tungsten or titanium with a channel of curly koa — tough enough to wear surfing, and a lot easier on the heart than losing a platinum band.
The Koa iWatch Ultra/46/44 Band
If he's an Apple Watch guy, the all new Titanium / Rubber Apple Watch band is our new favorite band...its an easy win too.
THINGS WORTH HAVING: What makes your creations the best?
We started with a straightforward belief: create Hawaiian Koa infused designs that are built to last. So we built products where everything is chosen carefully, presented honestly, and backed by service that doesn't disappear after you check out.
I think we all want to surround ourselves with to things that bring meaning and a feeling of pride. To that end, we create unique designs, use other-worldly looking wood, mix in a cultural story and a sense of place -- and you get the warm fuzzy of supporting a small maker trying to carve out a business in Hawaii.
