The festive period is fast approaching and let’s face it: no matter how we promise ourselves that we’ll get our Christmas shopping done well in advance, it almost never happens. Thankfully, for situations like these, there’s always Fossil and its wide range of products that speak to different personalities. From pretty, dainty watches that any party-goer will love, to satchels that marry form and function for a chic everyday essential, Fossil is the brand to trust for gifts — especially if they’re for loved ones you treasure.
Here are some suggestions:
It’s petite, stylish and oh-so-pretty. The 28mm Mini Carlie watch offers the essence of telling time with a glittering acetate dial that recalls a starry night sky, while its rose gold-tone stainless steel bracelet completes the elegant picture.
