Christmas is nearly a week away and I’m ashamed to admit that I am nowhere near finished with my shopping.  While there are quite a few of us who are masters of procrastination, I do my best to find the most fitting presents for each of my friends and family members. Choosing the perfect gift can be a challenge, especially when it comes to that one person who has absolutely everything. We all have a least one or two of those on our lists. Even if it takes me until the last minute to find the right “something special” for them, I can’t imagine buying another generic candle or pair of slippers to overcome THAT dilemma! Sure, it’s really the thought that counts but what’s better than the look of sheer excitement and surprise when the person you care for opens a gift they weren’t expecting?

Don’t Fret, Choose Tech!

After making my list and checking it twice, I decided to swap the boring and bland for gadgets and gizmos galore. I am boycotting pajamas sets, picture frames, and coffee mugs for the next decade! Whether it’s at home or on the go, we ALL rely on innovative technology within some aspect of our lives. This year I’m all about unique finds that compliment my lifestyle  and those I’m shopping for. The Fossil Venture Smartwatch is my newest obsession and for many reasons! This blinged-out smart watch does just about everything, from recording exercise data to sending notifications from connected Android and iOS smartphones.

Combining fashion and function at an incredible price, the beautiful rose gold band is decorated with crystal accents leading to its display. The interface can even be personalized to match your mood.  It’s the ultimate accessory for those of us who desire a statement piece that delivers solid performance and functionality.

FEATURES OF THE FOSSIL SMARTWATCH

Truthfully, I’ve never been much of a watch person until I purchased my first piece of arm candy last year. I wore it everyday for about three months, mostly at the gym to monitor my heart rate during workouts. Once I started working full time, that trend quickly faded and it currently lives in the dark depths of my dresser drawer. However, the Fossil Venture has proven to be a huge upgrade and surpassed my expectations once I started playing around with the features.
