Tikkers Back To School Watch Deals @ Amazon

Tikkers Back To School Watch Deals @ AmazonIf you're looking for a watch for the younger end of the childhood time-telling market then you should take a look at the back to school watch deals that Amazon have on Tikkers watches at the moment.

My husband has a real 'thing' for watches (rather expensive bright and shiny Breitling ones), I've been having a bit of a love affair with Charmed by Accurist watches and now have four of them in different colours.

My teenage daughter has always wanted to be 'into' watches and ever since she was small she's been bought them.  The thing is, she didn't like how they felt on her wrist and would carry them in her hand rather than wearing them - this, of course, meant they were lost easily and in the end she gave up.

My youngest son is six and has yet to embark on his own watch wearing career but, when he's ready, these Tikkers would be ideal for his age group.

They feature either a rather funky looking silicone or velcro strap and come in an array of bright and pastel colours to appeal to both boys and girls; each watch is guaranteed for a year and come presented in a brightly coloured gift box.

The usual price for Tikkers watches is £14.99 and most of them seem to have been reduced down to the £7 mark.

Happy time-telling!

Spring Blossom Charmed By Accurist Ladies Watch £27.50 @ Amazon

Spring Blossom Charmed By Accurist Ladies Watch £27.50 @ AmazonI was going to write about the Charmed by Accurist ladies watches as a 5pm review because I have one and absolutely adore it - however, a couple of deals have popped up that are quite simply too good to run the risk of missing out on if Amazon start putting the price up.

The usual (and genuine) retail price for the Spring Blossom and Cherry Blossom Charmed by Accurist ladies watches are £110, Amazon are currently selling them for £27.50!

If you're a fan of Pandora bracelets then you may just fall in love with this Spring Blossom Charmed by Accurist ladies watch - think Pandora, or Camillia and others, combined with a very unobtrusive watch face.

I love elegant bracelet watches and I also love Pandora bracelets, but I didn't want to wear something on each wrist so when I stumbled across the Charmed by Accurist watches (on a British Airways flight of all places) I knew it was the perfect compromise.

The Spring Blossom Charmed by Accurist watch comes with four round glass bead charms - two very pretty pale pink and two slightly darker - and four silver coloured metal heart-shaped beads with inset crystals.  The watch face is mother of pearl and has a crystal set at 12 o'clock.

The ends of the bracelet unscrew so you can add more beads and charms if you want to (it's compatible with all the main charm and bead brands) and has a lobster claw fastening.

There are a couple of things you should know about all the Charmed by Accurist watches

  1. They're not waterproof and
  2. They are REALLY tricky to do up on your own - however, with a bit of practice and finding the best way for you this does get easier.

If you're looking for a watch that's different and pretty, or a present for a special lady in your life, then really do go and take a look at the Charmed by Accurist watches - there are lots of different styles and most have discounts on them at the moment too, although not as low as the two Blossom watches.

Happy being charmed!

Thomas And Friends Alarm Clock and Watch £6.27 @ MyMemory.co.uk

Thomas And Friends Alarm Clock and Watch £6.27 @ MyMemory.co.uk“PEEP PEEP! It’s time to go!” says Thomas.  MyMemory.co.uk are selling this Thomas and Friends Alarm Clock and LCD Watch gift set for just £6.27 - it should be £17.99.

I haven’t posted any Thomas the Tank Engine deal for quite a while (well it feels like it anyway), but there’s not a HUGE amount I can tell you about either the clock or the watch.

The clock - it’s round and it has two hands, a big one and a small one, and they point to any one or two of the 12 numbers on the face. It has two red bells on the top that will ring like crazy and probably make you jump out of your skin - I had a brass clock like this once, I woke up with a near heart attack every single day.

The watch is an LCD watch and has a flip-up cover on the front which features Thomas (obviously) and the strap is adjustable (again, obviously).

The clock requires one AA battery which isn't supplied, and the watch comes with its necessary Varta V392 battery.

There's no delivery to pay on this Thomas and Friends Alarm Clock and Watch gift set, so if you've got a Thomas fan who's about to embark on the journey that is learning to tell the time, then this could be an ideal little pressie for them that won't break the bank.
