You have heard about fossil watches for a long time and could not begin to image what it was, a fossil-something long dead from the prehistoric era. Then, you learn that it is really a watch-a timepiece used by a lot of people. It is more of brand name than a specific item.

So, exactly what is it? Fossil is a designer and manufacturer of clothing and accessories, primarily in watches and jewelry, and they recently expanded into making sunglasses and wallets. But, you are not interested in the other items they make; you are interested in a watch and want to get one from this company.

Fortunately, their watches are considered accessible by the middle-class because they are reasonably priced and sold in most retail and department stores. They are especially well liked by younger people and collectors because they make specially designed watches in popular characters such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Green Lantern, Snoopy, Star Wars, Chronicles of Narnia, and in many other characters.

Fossil watches are made for both men and women. Ladies watches are made in gold, silver, leather, designer styles, are fully functional have interchangeable dials and special adjust-o-matic features which make it fit perfectly on any size wrist. The interchangeable dials and multi-colored straps are particularly popular as you can change it to perfectly coordinate your watch to your outfit-a fashion plus in today's world. What can be more perfect that being able to change the look of your watch on a daily basis?

For formal evening wear, ladies may want a more elegant accent by wearing a dress gold or silver watch that can provide her with the perfect combination of durability and sophistication.

Men's watches offer a greater combination of style and function in a variety of wristwatches and pocket watches. Regardless of whether you want a men's dress wristwatch or casual wristwatch for fun and play, Fossil has hundreds of different makes, models and styles available. The hard part is picking out which one you want, but with the internet readily available, you can look at literally hundreds of different watches within 15 minutes.

Since Mother's Day and Father's Day are right around the corner, why not put a few hints that you want a Fossil watch for that day. It certainly beats flowers for mom or a new tie for dad-maybe you will actually get you want this year. Do some research and figure out which watch you want and then start showing it to your family.

Keep talking about finding the time to get to the mall to buy it, but you are always too busy to get there. Hopefully, they will take the hint and buy the watch for you. If the picture of your watch disappears, do not ask about it—just keep your fingers crossed that someone in the family has taken the hints and initiative to go and purchase it for you.

Just remember, try to act surprised when you open the box!

If you're reading this at your normal wakeup time, you have already missed midnight openings at Grapevine Mills and Allen Premium Outlets, a 1 a.m. opening at Town East Mall, 4 a.m. openings at J.C. Penney Co. and Kohl's and 5 a.m. at Macy's.


No worries.

The Friday after Thanksgiving has become a marathon shopping event filled with door busters, gifts with purchases and free gift cards. Today kicks off a holiday season that's five days shorter than last year and swamped in negative forecasts.

While that's not great for retailers, it spells bargain shopping for you. Here are some tips to make the day more efficient:

• If you're shopping for electronics, hit those stores first. Stores should be well stocked in each advertised special, but don't count on it. And cut them some slack; don't call on this busy day and expect to find out if they have any Nintendo Wiis left. Tip: The Shops at Willow Bend in Plano is giving one Wii away every hour today.

• If you're reading this online, buy the newspaper. Sure, this is a self-serving tip, and we're being replaced by Internet ads and Black Friday sneak-peek Web sites and pre-empted by retailers' own Web sites, but circulars and last-minute ads still contain some of the best deals. Plus it's portable information for the technically challenged. And you don't have to download anything.

• Speaking of Web sites, use them to find your best price, says Tod Marks, Consumer Reports' shopping expert and author of the Tightwad Tod blog. Here are a few sites he mentions. www.fat wallet.com, www.bfads.net, www.blackfriday.gottadeal.com, www.dealtaker.com, www .walletpop.com, www.theblack friday.com and www.black fridaydeals.us/shop.

• Don't be desperate, says Mr. Marks. Retailers have been slashing prices aggressively for months. Shoppers shouldn't fret if they miss out on one store deal; another will appear shortly.

• There will be more discounting on Saturday and Sunday. Parking should be easier.
