A One of a Kind Gift Idea – The Zen Watch
The Zen Watch is a bracelet resembling a watch, but instead of telling time, it simply says the word “Now”. The word “Now” is engraved on a semi-precious gemstone. The “watch” straps come in 6 different color choices: red, blue, green, pink, tan and black. No more time spent regretting the past or worrying about the future. Glances at your wrist throughout the day will constantly remind you to live in the moment. $25. Limited Supply.
