Apology Gift for Son
All Love Here pairs the Openwork Watch with the “I Should Have Asked First” message card in this apology Gift for Son. Read the dedication above to see who it is written for and how it is signed. The photos let you look at the gift and the card together before choosing how to present it.
The message behind the gift
If a father spoke for his son in a decision that belonged to him, the words that accompany this Openwork Watch address that directly. ‘I Should Have Asked First’ acknowledges speaking without asking what he wanted and offers to hear his hopes when he chooses to share them. Dad can present the box quietly, perhaps after dropping something off that he already planned to bring, and give his son the privacy to open it later.
What matters next is the opportunity for him to tell you how he saw the situation. If he brings it up, ask what he would like from you now and let him finish the answer before offering your point of view.
Let him decide when to open the gift and what comes after
Because the printed message addresses a decision made on your son's behalf, the delivery can give him a choice right away. You can tell him there is a note inside and leave the time of opening to him. If you add a line, mention a concrete way you will check with him before speaking up in the future. When you consider the watch itself, think about whether this is a piece he would choose to wear. The conversation can continue at his pace whether he keeps the watch near him or sets it aside.
Openwork Watch design and specifications
The strap is genuine black leather, and the openwork face lets him look into the mechanism while checking the time. Hardened mineral crystal covers the dial. The automatic movement is powered by motion, a practical detail to consider if he rotates among several watches.

Deciding how he might wear it
Consider what he does on the days he usually puts on a watch. The black leather strap can work with a shirt for a dinner out or with casual clothes for a family visit, while the open dial gives him something to look at whenever he checks the time. The automatic movement gets its power from wrist motion during wear.
Questions before you order
How is automatic movement different from the look of the dial?
Automatic describes how the watch’s mechanical movement is powered by motion while it is worn. Openwork describes the design that exposes part of that movement so it is visible through the dial. Together they let the wearer see the mechanism that helps the watch do its job.
Which watch measurements are useful for a surprise gift?
The most useful number for fit is the 168 to 216 mm (6.6 to 8.5 inch) adjustment range. If the recipient already wears a watch, compare that range with the circumference at their usual setting. The separate 200 mm specification refers to the listed strap length.

Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 97 reviews.
I love the design and it shipped on time. My only issue was that it arrived damaged on the front cover. There was a small but somewhat deep dent on one of the letters. Because there wasn’t time to replace it, I had to gift it damaged. That was disappointing but she still liked it.
The print on the charm seems smaller in person, but that is probably just me and I still love it. When my mother passes, I will add the charm with my father's signature that gave her on a bracelet similar to this one.
Late review, but my boyfriend LOVES his necklace & the cute little box that it came in. He almost cried when he read the little saying inside of the box. He now wears his necklace 24/7 & doesn’t take it off because it’s something that he cherishes from me.
Wrong item ordered. Emailed team instantly. No response. And incorrect item took way to long to get here. Yous were asking for a review before it had even been sent. Very unprofessional
Bought this necklace in gold for my 16 year old granddaughter. When it arrived, I could not believe the beautiful packaging and how the necklace was presented. When the box lid was opened, a light appeared on the necklace and showed its beauty. I was able to customize the message that appeared inside the box which made the gift very personal. The jewelry was more than I expected it to be and my granddaughter loved it.
Love the necklace. I think you should put the poem on card size magnet instead of a piece of paper. I would have gave you a 5. It would feel like it’s more from the heart .for the refrigerator or wallet purse. Just my 2% . would recommend you.
My son loved his bracelet I got him for his high school graduation so much that once it started breaking down from wear & tear he asked if it was possible to order a new one.
Really nice bracelet and I know my son will love it however when it came the box was damaged, I have emailed Jeni but had no reply. Also they don’t tell you about the additional tax you gave to pay when delivered 10€ more 😩
Outstanding service, I ordered my necklace as a present for my daughter, she loves it.
it came within 8 days, and the were a sublime service and support.
I purchased this bracelet for my son after he passed away at the age of 23 from his 2 brothers. I let them personalize the card and we had his monument made so the bracelet and card are made into the monument. His brothers got matching bracelets as well and having this between the 3 of them has helped them heal and know that Ethan is always going to be with us. I could not express my thanks in words! My cup runneth over
One bracelet was for one grandsons birthday. He loved it …. We didn’t take pictures. The other bracelet if for my grandson for Xmas…
I really love the gift ….
