Mother’s Day Gifts: Ann Klein Watch at Zappos

It is rare these days to see anyone wearing a watch unless they are the business suit type-men and women alike. We all carry cell phones so once our old watches died, we just never replaced them. If your mother is anything like me, I used to love wearing a watch, felt naked without one, but just never got around to replacing mine. It is important for busy moms to stay on schedule with all of the activities our children are involved in so why don’t we wear watches anymore?

Now, check out this Anne Klein watch that we found on Zappos. Casual, yet stylish; and at $69 and free shipping, I think it is a very affordable gift that keeps on giving. This watch has a genuine leather band that comes in pink and orange with a silver face. I love both colors, pink for the softer feminine side of me and orange for when I am feeling bold and need a color that snaps. Your mom (or, you) is sure to love either with its classic designer label that says you paid less than she thinks.

Be sure to get out the other selections in our Mother’s Day gift series!

Zappos clearance shades: Get ready for summer

It is a well known fact that if you are from Washington State, you purchase a pair of sunglasses every year. Why? because that is the only time we see the sun long enough to dig them out of our junk drawer, or go on an endless scavenger hunt trying to track them down to find them wedged between the drivers seat and console of our cars. It is a sad fact but one we live with. So instead of spending an arm and a leg on a pair of glasses yearly, I tend to go for the cheap, off the spinner rack brands that get scratched just looking at them. But this year, I want to splurge. I found my glasses IN my console this year when the sun peeked out of the clouds for a bit and tried to ignore the myriad of scratch marks on both lenses but driving was a bit tough so right then I decided, that’s it, I am going to spend more than $9.99 this year! After all, name brand glasses should last me more than one season’s worth of sun right? As long as I can locate them again next year.

Searching online for a new pair, I notice that Zappos has an awesome clearance sale on name brand chic shades. There are many styles to choose from if you have a hard time finding the right frame. I am leaning towards the Jackie Ohh by Ray-Ban shown here:

Or, the St. Maarten by Michael Kors shown here:

Zappos.com offers free shipping both ways and free 365 day returns so if a frame does not suit your face, pick out another and send yours back with no hassle, it’s so worth it. Here comes the sun right now, oh wait, no. Ah yes, there it is.
