This has certainly been a strange summer for our watch company (www.HourPowerwatches.com)—and probably all watch companies. We placed our order for a new supply in January and expected them 2 months later—but they never came. We kept calling and the factory kept pushing up the date of arrival.

We ran out of our most popular styles—The Maxim and The Sophisticate— and we still couldn’t push up the date. We begged. We pleaded that we now had a waiting list. We even resorted to yelling. To no avail. That’s because the Japanese movements that keep our unique, high quality watches ticking could not be produced fast enough. It seems that after the Japanese earthquake, the electric power was rationed on half time to all manufacturing companies. Therefore, the orders took more than twice as long to be produced.

No matter. We wouldn’t compromise with any other movement in our watches. We know our customers count on our timepieces to produce absolutely accurate time—all the time.

It was worth the wait. They just came in—handsome, special, with the best quality  movement.

Father’s Day is just around the corner.  Each year, we have just one day to honor our Dad’s for all that they do for the family. Take full opportunity of the day and express your gratitude with all your heart.
This is what you need to think about:
The day before think about Dad and what he does for your family.
Does he provide financially so everyone has wants and needs for everyday living?
Does he help make important decisions like what college to attend and what baseball glove to by?
Does he let you cry when you need to?
Does he help mom with raising all the kids in the family?
Does he serve as a good strong moral role model to the family?
Does he provide fun and good times?
Does he help with the household chores?
Write down all the ways that Dad is a special part of the family on a large poster board.  Present the poster and then serve him breakfast in bed. Give him a special father’s day gift that will remind him of you and how much you appreciate him.

We just had the senior prom in my community.  All of the parents went over to photograph their kids at a pre-party at my neighbor’s house.  The boys looked so splendid in their tuxes.  And the girls—they were beautiful women in gowns of every hue and style.

All of us were excited to be part of this special event.  We took pictures of the kids in all different kinds of groupings.  And we will take pictures of them at their graduation in the same eager way.  We will treasure those photos when our children are away at college.  And, so will each of our kids.

Leaving home for the first time is truly momentous.  Part of this new phase of life are pangs for home.  That’s why a graduation gift that carries these thoughts of love and security, as well as, cherished photos becomes so valuable.  It’s a good thing to be carrying this nostalgia for home in secret.  No guy or girl wants anyone to know their true feelings.  And, there’s nothing better than a watch that opens to a hidden compartment (http://www.hourpowerwtaches.com to accomplish that goal.

We’re so excited about being selected as one of the recommended mother’s day gifts in the May 4 issue of Women’s World Magazine.  They selected a lovely assortment of products that all carried personalized words and/or pictures on beautiful jewelry items.  We loved the way the HourPower watch (www.hourpowerwatches.com) was opened to the photo of two darling children with cherished words that any woman would adore.

Of course, what’s good for mother is also good for father.  Since father’s day is more than a month away.  There is plenty of time to personalize one of the best gifts any Dad could receive.  A handsome timepiece with his family inside and a message of love will warm any guy’s heart.  There’s still time to order that picture to be lasered on a permanent solid sterling silver photo disc that makes the watch entirely waterproof.

So, a cool watch that men love for its construction, gets even cooler because they don’t have to take it off their wrist to wash or swim.

They will be pleased because it is from your heart.  Your kids will be pleased because they are inside Dad’s watch.  And you’ll be delighted because you finally got him something that is really special. What could be better than that.  You nailed it!

Take 5 minutes and think about your mother. Who is she, how do you feel about her, what does she stand for? For most of us, this is very heady stuff. We think about the love that our mom’s have for us, how they steadfastly work at being a good foundation for our development—or how much we want her to know that she is appreciated.

Mother’s work hard in service of their children and their families.  They often think about others long before they think about themselves.  Their goal is to raise good people who make a contribution to our world.

That’s why Mother’s Day is the second most significant life event celebration in America (Christmas is #1).  All of us want to have our mother’s bathe in our appreciation for all they do.  We look for a way to say, “thank you” and let her know we think about her often.  The best way to do that is to give Mom a customized gift that carries engraved words and a cherished picture that allows for quiet moments of contemplation.  Add the element of time (http://www.hourpowerwatches.com/) and you have a complete package of sentiment and utility to be used and treasured everyday of the year.

Now that Spring is in full force, we are reminded that Mother’s Day is just around the corner.  Enter Women’s World Magazine helping their readers select the best and most meaningful gifts for this special person.  Apparently, they searched through loads and loads of new products that any mom would love.  And, among their several choices, was the HourPower Locket Watch for women. 

The article displays a picture of the watch along with several suggestions about what beautiful things can be engraved inside the secret chamber.  Highlighted, as well, was the fact that a permanent sterling silver lasered picture could be placed inside and that would make the entire timepiece waterproof.

There is no question that we all love our families.  And the upcoming holiday underscores our desire to own personalized jewelry that links us to our children.  It really helps to be inspired by the cherished picture and words that can be available whenever one checks the time.  There is an undeniable smile that spreads across the face, and a feeling of positive connectedness that just can’t be beat.

We want you to have a wonderful and memorable wedding.  And, it’s important to know that this is not related to how much you spend; but, rather, on how to spend your money wisely.  The following are some important tips related to your beautiful celebration:

DATE:  The choice of a Saturday wedding increases the cost of all aspects of your event.  So, pick another day-Friday, Sunday or even Thursday (when royalty marry in Europe)

TIME:  The most expensive events are evening events.  But, people love brunches, lunches, and cocktail parties-all of which stretch your dollar.

PLACE:  Resorts and hotels are the most costly.  Look at local wineries, community centers, rental halls from ethnic groups, etc.  All can be decorated beautifully and made to be an exciting arena.

GO LOCAL:  Support local businesses and you will be politically correct and right on budget. Select caterers and wedding bakeries from within your circle.  Make sure that you buy your own alcoholic beverages and bring it yourself to the reception.  Hire creative companies that support your vision of your wedding, but are more reasonable

ATTIRE : A wedding dress is important and you want to be a beautiful bride; but, it is only worn once!  Look for a special price-sample gowns, local designers, sale items.  There will still be ample selections of gorgeous choices.  When it comes to your bridesmaids-look at department stores for a dinner dress that can be worn again, or allow each girl to select a dress of their choosing in a particular color. 

FLOWERS/DECORATIONS: Use floral arrangements wisely:  less can be more when it comes to costly flowers.  Use your most expensive flowers sparingly and fill in with large amounts of baby’s breathe.  It creates a beautiful environment for much less.  Interesting decorations from balloons to fabrics can add an element of surprise and delight.

WHOM TO INVITE:  Focus on family and friends who mean something to each of you.  Invite people who need to be there; not just who satisfy an obligation.  Smaller weddings tend to be more personal

MAKE IT MEANINGFUL: People really remember weddings because of personal touches that you have created.  Special poems or songs, cameras on tables to catch original photos, and memorable ways to capture this event forever (www.hourpowerwatches.com) are all part of remembering this day.
