The summer is finally coming to the end with the kids returning to school.  Finally, there’s a chance to breathe and get organized again.  It’s amazing what vacation does to a busy person’s life.

Watch Sale

Now, it’s time to pick up bargains for all of the people on your Christmas list.  HourPower (www.hourpowerwatches.com) has just posted our best sale of the year.  Many of the coolest timepieces can be purchased for the lowest price you will ever find. These watches that open to a secret compartment for engraved words and a cherished picture are the perfect gift for those you love.  No one ever forgets that you thought about them enough to give such a personal gift.  Whenever they check the time, they also think about the photo inside—such a positive feeling…

A new parent or grandparent celebrating the first Christmas really can treasure such a special gift.  The new bride or groom will also love commemorating their holiday in this meaningful way.  The period between Thanksgiving and New Years has the most engagements being announced, as well.  There’s no better way to say, “I love You” than wearing a momento of that special day inside your handsome flip watch. Men, in particular, really enjoy the fun and sentiment that this gift conveys.

And everyone enjoys the lasting quality of a gift that keeps on giving wonderful memories forever.

It is a curious observation about men—they love to fiddle with things.  Don’t know why they are so eager to open and close something, turn it over, examine the internal operation and try to understand how it works.  But, they do!

They also seem to relish different kinds of watches.  Even in this era of “time” appearing on everything from a cell phone to a computer; men still appreciate a slick and handsome watch.  It has something to do with their sense of manliness.  Real Men Wear Watches—at least that’s what all the GQ magazines espouse.  But, perhaps, it’s simply that a timepiece is the only jewelry that is a legitimate choice for the average guy. They don’t want chains and they don’t want bracelets—they want different kinds of watches.

That’s why the HourPower timepiece is such a standout as a gift for your guy.  It has a  secret compartment to hold engraved messages and a photo; all housed in a great looking chunk of solid stainless steel—making it unique in a world of sameness.  It’s actually kind of exciting to find something that will be really used and enjoyed for all the right reasons.

Take some advice from the toddler at this link for a great Father’s Day gift idea.

HourPower® Time is the kind of gift father’s love on their special day. It’s a secret on the wrist. Disguised as a watch, it tells the time; but inside, it carries your heart. Men, especially, appreciate the mechanics, fun and meaningfulness of this timepiece. Women love having their husbands carry the family on their wrist!
It’s so hard to find a really good present for men–a gift that they can use and also treasure. There are so few accessories that men actually like; and, unique watches happen to be something most guys enjoy.
That’s why HourPower® is the perfect gift for Father’s Day. Everyone’s happy. Men have their gadget and women are enhancing love. Whenever Dad checks the time, he is connected to his family inside. There’s nothing better than that.

Tough & Rough on the OutSide,
Soft and Caring on the Inside

HourPower Watches® and motorcycle riders have a lot in common.  Both of them display a strong, rough exterior (like stainless steel) and both are a high quality item along with distinctive styling!  But, the exterior actually belies the secret that lives on the inside.

Hidden from view, is a heart that beats for family and friends and is able to express that in many ways.  Inside the Biker is a closet, sentimental male who loves his children and wife every day. Like the Biker, the HourPower® watch has a caring interior that holds a hidden place for a cherished picture and even some heartfelt engraved words.

HourPower® is the way to wear your “heart on your sleeve”.

That’s why HourPower has wedded itself to bikers by creating a limited series Bikers Watch. This handsome timepiece is everything that symbolizes the proud Biker.  45,000 bikers ride to help all kinds of causes and we salute them.  Visit the site and see the limited series Bikers Watch.  Choose from Biker Maxim or Biker Sport.

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.

So, tax day has come and gone and that means that May flowers are not far behind.  It’s been a long winter and you need a reward.  Thank goodness, that Mother’s day is fast approaching and you have a chance to get a pat on the back for all you do.

Don’t sit passively by, hoping that the family recognizes what a great mom you are.  Get involved with a want list for something that’s beautiful, that’s useful, that’s very personal.  There are so many wonderful pieces of jewelry that can be engraved–necklaces, bracelets, rings, and even a unique watch that opens (http://www.hourpowerwatches.com/).  All of them carry a special treasured sentiment and connect you to those you love.

Being connected to your loved ones is essential to a mom.  There is nothing more important than your kids.  And it’s so much fun to carry that sentiment right into beautiful adornments that we all enjoy.

Actually. I take it back.  Don’t sit around waiting for your present.  It’s perfectly okay to give yourself one for the great work that you do.

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.
