Fitbit Craze = Great Gift Idea!

I have been eyeing these puppies up for a couple of weeks now, but I know they've been around longer than that.  Have you heard of this?  Or have I been living under a rock?

                                                                              Anyway...

They say big things come in small packages, and that couldn't be more true with these Fitbits.  This little gadget is an activity tracker, and it seems to be the BIGGEST fitness craze right now!  It tracks your exercise (steps, distance, calories burned, etc), and your sleep (length of time you sleep and quality of sleep).  They sync to your computer or smart phone, where you can log in your daily food intake and current weight.  Honestly, you should just watch the videoHERE, or else I could just keep babbling.

                                                                 Which I'll do anyway....:)

I can't decide which one I like better.  Fitbit One  clips to anything, so you can wear it discretely throughout the day.  This is a good choice for people who wear professional attire for work.  As much as I love the Fitbit Flex, it wouldn't match my jewelry, so I might have to go with the Fitbit One for fashion reasons ;)

Or

Fitbit Flex

The Fitbit Flex is meant to be worn around your wrist.  I like the idea of wearing it this way, because it's a constant reminder that you're working towards a goal.  How do you know when you are getting close?  THIS is my favorite part .... the 5 little lights will light up one by one as you get closer to your goal.  Maybe that's why this one is the "best seller".  I know at the end of the day, if I only see 3 or 4 lights lit, I will push myself until I see 5 stinkin' lights!!  I'm a taurus, what can I say...

This is not me. You will NEVERRRR see me smile during exercise! It's just a photo I found on Amazon ;)

Did you know that this has a silent alarm to wake you?  Why not?  It does everything else!  I think I could get this for my boyfriend JUST for that reason.

He wakes up before me, and snoozes his alarm at least 2-3 times before he gets up...ugh.
So I guess I could be getting it for the both of us.  Hmmmm... ;)

So, if you are struggling for a gift idea for him or for her, this would be a great one!
