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.

Spring air brings in a whole wave of energy and renewal.  The grass  turns a beautiful bright green, the colorful flowers peek through the hard ground and suddenly the world is exciting and new.

Our thoughts move to upcoming excitement—family events, weddings, graduations and mother’s and father’s day.  We begin to think about the people we cherish and how to honor them.  We begin to dream about the beauty of a couple committing themselves to each other.  We begin to plan the gifts that we want to give to our loved ones.

One thing for sure, is that all of us want to purchase the most meaningful, most handsome and useful gift we can afford.  We want our recipient to be thrilled that we found just the right way to say, “I Love you”.  This is the challenge that all of us undergo as we face the upcoming season.  We wish you great success—

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.

Sophia Loren agrees that her children are always on her mind. In Women & Beauty, she is quoted as saying: “When you are a mother, you are never really alone. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child”.

I don’t think anyone has ever captured that feeling in a statement as well as Sophia. It is really true that motherhood changes our lives forever. We’re never really comfortable with a decision unless it’s good for the whole family. Our children are always in front of us—guiding our behaviors from day to day.

That’s why it is so great to be wearing the HourPower Watch® (www.hourpowerwatches.com). Inside the secret chamber, is the inspiration and love present and active in our lives. We touch the time on our wrist and it actually gives us a source of energy. We see our children before us inside the secret chamber and they are the constant in a day of rushing around and meeting our responsibilities. This unique timepiece provides a presence that keeps us focused and moving toward what is important to us. It’s the best way to say, Happy Mother’s Day.

Mother’s Day is the one time each year that we get an opportunity to really appreciate our loving moms. On the other hand, our moms spend the rest of the time thinking about us! They spend hours upon hours helping us, teaching us and nurturing our hopes and dreams.

That’s the reason why, I think it makes good sense to give the gift of HourPower® “time” to our special ladies. These personalized keepsake locket watches are so treasured because they carry words and cherished pictures of the family. They capture a moment in time that can be relived just by opening the secret chamber of the HourPower Watch. It is amazing the rush of emotion and love that is felt when the lid is lifted and smiling faces beam out at you.

These high quality, stainless steel timepieces at www.hourpowerwatches.com, can be engraved with your own heartfelt words and can hold permanent picture discs. They are a perfect way for mom to be connected with her family and feel their appreciation and love all 365 days/8,760 hours of the year.
