2015 HOT ACCESSORY: Flik Flak Watches

Disclosure: I received two complimentary Flik Flak watches to share at our sponsored #MKToyTime party and to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

MacGirl turned 10 in August and I was filled with so much excitement. She was turning double-digits, and officially becoming a pretween, although it seems she's been a pretween since forever. She's always been fashionably inclined, and has too many accessories to count. Ironically, the one accessory she doesn't have is a watch. And it's the one accessory she needs the most. She is so unaware of time. I can tell her she has 30 minutes to get ready for dance class, or dinner is at 7pm, or she needs to read for 45 minutes, but it doesn't mean anything to her. It's especially hard when we are out and about, and she can't rely on any cues like at home, via the stove clock, or tv. 

Flik Flak recently sent us much-needed watches to preview for our #MKToyTime Sponsored party and MacGirl loved them. 

There are so many designs, colors, and sizes that it will appeal to any fashionista or the pickiest of children. They are even great for your most rambuctious kids because the watches are scratch-proof and are shock & water resistant. The watches with fabric bands can be machine-washed! Say what!? 

They are perfect for gift giving. They come in the cutest package. The watch is is a plastic case, which in turn is in a designer pouch. The pouch can be used for storing the watch, or for storing other things like sunglasses or pencils.

They are a little pricier than other children's watches, starting at $40, but each piece is designed and handcrafted in Switzerland and is built to last. They are water resistant, shock resistant, machine washable, powered by Swiss quartz movement and come to you from the makers of Swatch. Flik Flak offers free shipping, easy returns, and 2-year warranties. Available in a variety of sizes: Cute-Size: Ages 3+, PreSchool: Ages 5+ and Full-Size: Ages 7+. Not only will the watch stand the test of time, but the ambassador characters, Flik and Flak are there to assist your younger children in learning to tell time.
