Tracking in Style Who says fashion and fitness don’t mix? The latest in wearable trackers prove the two are a match made in high-tech heaven.

By Renee Lee, CTW Features There’s no reason why fitness trackers need to be clunky or unsightly. The newest generation of gadgets goes above and beyond, evolving to include stylish accessories from rings and bracelets to shorts and socks. Fitness trackers, also known as “wearables,” have increased in popularity ever since they hit the market; the International Data Corporation says sales of wearables increased triple digits during the last quarter of 2015.

Here are seven stylish new wearable tech guaranteed to please the fashionistas

4 Holiday Gift Guide, Vol. 1

and techies on your holiday gift list:

Bellabeat LEAF

starting at $119 This small but mighty leaf-shaped tracker can do just about everything: it tracks all of your physical activity as well as inactivity, highlighting how much time your body is in a deep sleep; helps you stay mindful with guided meditation exercises; and even gets to know your body’s reproductive cycle. Wear the LEAF any way you want — clip it on clothing or wear it as a wrap bracelet or

pendant necklace.

Ringly Aries

$245 Ringly puts a new spin on wearables with beautiful, this-actually-looks-likejust-a-ring smart rings.

These high tech rings connect to Bluetooth, showcasing notifications for anything from text messages to calendar appointments.

Times-Call—TimesCall.com

Ringly also recently released the Aries, a smart bracelet that doubles as an activity tracker.

The slim, gold-plated bangle features your choice of a semi-precious stone, and tracks steps walked and calories burned. The bracelets are set to ship in the fall, making it a perfect hot item to snag for the holidays.

November 24, 2016

Sensaria Smart Socks

starting at $199 Not really into jewelry or accessories?

With Sensaria’s Smart Socks, there’s no reason to don an extra item for fitness tracking — simply switch out your old socks for a smarter model!

The smart socks track all the normal stuff, like steps taken and calories burnt, but also acts as a trainer, pointing out things pointing out things like foot landing technique to help you run more effectively.

Griffin Ribbon Wristband

$14.99 Have a tracker that doesn’t quite fit your style? Spiff it up with this ribbon reminiscent of those trendy, no damage ribbon hair ties. The colorful, stretchy nylon bands come in two sizes and is compatible with five different trackers.

Lumo Men’s Shorts & Sensor

June by Netamo

$199.99 Also from Lumo comes Lumo Run, a sensor that acts like a running coach, tracking cadence, speed, calories burnt and more – all wrapped up into a pair of shorts. Get up to 20 hours of run time with a single charge and even get on-demand feedback for better form and posture during runs.

$49 June by Netamo is a different kind of tracker. It’s actually a beauty coach that measures your sun exposure, alerting you when it’s time to reapply sunscreen. Get it in three striking color options.

Lumo Lift + Swarovski Jewelry Clasp

$79.99 & $29.99 The Lumo Lift calls itself the world’s best selling digital posture coach. This small, quarter-sized sensor magnetically attaches to your shirt and tracks all of the traditional fitness stats. The coolest feature: it helps you achieve better posture with vibrations that notify you when you’re slouching or off kilter. Pair the sensor with a Swarovski Jewel Clasp (in options like a red dot or white flower) to show your Lift off as a classy pin.

Small Business Saturday

The American dream is written in every small shop, café, boutique, and neighborhood store. On Saturday, November 26, two days after Thanksgiving, make it your business to help local businesses do more business by doing your Christmas holiday shopping on Small Business Saturday. Enjoy the variety and quality of neighborhood and downtown stores. Celebrate the independent businesses that help boost Longmont’s economy.

In 2010, American Express founded Small Business Saturday to help businesses meet their most pressing need — getting more customers. The day encourages people to shop at small businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The day has grown into a powerful movement, and more people are taking part than ever before.

Longmont is planning on plenty of action

Kimberlee McKee, executive director of the Longmont Downtown Development Authority, notes how important Small Business Saturday is for businesses in Downtown Longmont. “It celebrates the amazing owners – our neighbors and friends – for the work they do year round. Shoppers are invited to OWN it, anything from a local coffee to a new guitar, showing a sense of local pride with their purchases. As a reward, they get

November 24, 2016

lots of opportunities to win downtown gift cards.”

That’s right, strolling holiday characters will be giving random shoppers Thank You gift cards for shopping on Small Business Saturday. Businesses will also have plenty of “swag” to give away – bags, pet bandanas, balloons, and more.

Expect to be entertained Don’t miss the entertainment and photo opportunities: 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Ice Carving demonstrations at St. Stephen’s Plaza 12 – 6 p.m.

Street Busker Entertainers 4 – 7 p.m.

Strolling carolers downtown Get caught shopping local by one of the strolling holiday characters and you may win a gift card as a thank you.

But wait... there’s more!

But the shop local message won’t end on Small Business Saturday. After Saturday, Downtown is working with the City on a reusable bag promotion. Shop Downtown, spend $15 in participating businesses and get a free reusable bag!

The Nice List: Top 50 Toys of 2016

Every kid has a wish list, but how do you decide what should actually be under the tree this year?

By Matthew M. F. Miller, CTW Features

While it might ring true that everyone feels like a kid at Christmastime, nothing beats the excitement of actually being one. Few annual traditions are more anticipated and toiled over than the creation of a holiday wish list. For parents, however, few things are more stressful than trying to balance buying a kid what he or she really, really wants with buying the best, longest-lasting toys.

Today, with more toys than ever from which to choose, how should one go about selecting the right gift for the kids on your list?

“The number one most important thing to consider before buying a toy is age appropriateness,” says Marissa DiBartolo, Senior Editor, The Toy Insider. “Always check the packaging and see what the suggested age range is for a toy. The manufacturers’ suggested age ranges exist for lots of good reasons, including safety.”

Experts agree that toy quality and durability also are important considerations when determining what to buy. “There are landfill toys and there are legacy toys,” says Rich-

November 24, 2016

ard Gottlieb, Global Toy Experts, a world-renowned consultancy and resource for toy industry insight and information. “Landfill toys tend to be relatively inexpensive, based upon some character or brand a child currently loves, and end up thrown away within a couple of months.”

Gottlieb describes legacy toys as those that are durable, typically made from wood, metal or heavy plastic, that can grow with the child, involve some mastery and can withstand being passed down. “Because legacy toys are more expensive they need to be seen as an investment,” he says.

Premier legacy toys, according to Gottleib, are Lego sets, Tonka trucks,

Meccano robots, American Girl dolls and even bears from Build-A-Bear.

DiBartolo also believes it’s important to consider play value before buying.

“Ask yourself: Does the toy allow for lots of imaginative play? Can kids play together with this toy? Will kids use it more than once?

Will it last for a few years, or will they outgrow it quickly?”

And while learning toys aren’t always the most popular until they get their hands on them and realize how fun they can be, DiBartolo says parents should consider how a toy helps a child develop.

“Will it help develop their fine motor skills? Will it aid in enhancing socialemotional growth? All kids

learn through play, but make sure you are choosing toys that will help kids grow in ways that are right for them,” DiBartolo says.

Above all, parents should purchase toys that match their child’s interests.

Although he stresses the importance of durable toys, Gottleib agrees that there’s no harm in getting your child a quality branded toy if it’s what he or she wants.

“Buying a toy featuring a beloved character is fine, but make sure that there is play value,” he says.

DiBartalo agrees.

“Think about what the child you are buying for likes. Kids have big personalities, and you should always consider what their interests are before purchasing a toy. Not all

parents’ passion. For an example, if a grandfather was an Air Force pilot, he may want to buy a model plane or a book on planes.

The best that will happen is that the grandparent will create an enthusiasm in the grandchild that they can share. The worst is that the child will get a sense of who their grandparent is, which will pay dividends in later years.”

Popular trends for 2016

girls like princesses and not all boys like superheroes. If you’re unsure, go with classic, gender-neutral options, like board games, arts and crafts or cool tech toys,” she says.

Gottleib encourages grandparents to forgo the wish list, at least for one gift, to teach the child about something that’s important to them. “Grandparents should buy a child a gift that reflects the grand-

are toys that teach kids to code, small collectibles, small technology toys and nostalgia toys remain trendy. “Nostalgic toys are very popular because they allow for a truly unique parent-child interaction unlike any other,” DiBartolo says. “In a world where technology is constantly evolving, parents have a strong desire to return to simpler times, and share their childhood experiences

with their children. Nostalgic toys and brands encourage families to unplug from their devices and spend some quality time together.”

According to DiBartolo, some of the most popular nostalgic toys this year include Spirograph Shapes, Lincoln Logs 100th Anniversary Tin, Strawberry Shortcake Rag Dolls (from The Bridge Direct) and Nintendo’s Super NES Classic Mini.

Santa’s special mailboxes return to Longmont directly from Santa Claus!

Mom and Dad, be sure to include a return address with your child’s letter so that Santa knows where to send his reply.

Santa wants to say a special thank you to his friends at Scrumptious, Ace Hardware, both Ziggi’s Coffee Longmont locations, Lucky’s Market and Brown’s Shoe Fit Co., for watching over his mailboxes. And, a hearty “Ho, Ho, Ho” to his helpers at Hover Senior Community — they are most certainly on the “Nice” list!

By MISTY KAISER for HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Santa is already on the lookout for letters from all the best boys and girls and the best way to make sure he gets them is to drop them off in any of his specially decorated white mailboxes springing up in several of Longmont’s favorite retailers on November 18.

Letters left in the festive mailboxes require no postage or exact address thanks to the honorary elves at Hover Senior

Community. They have promised Santa and Mrs. Claus that they will personally deliver all letters from his special mailboxes straight to the North Pole. And since they don’t want anyone to miss

their chance, there will be stationery and envelopes available at each of the boxes.

Children who write their holiday wishes in a letter and drop it off by December 5 will receive a reply

Interactive Holidays

Hobbytown is your local source for a totally different kind of “mobile device”— hoverboards and electric skateboards by Electric Academy! Your child (or child-like adult) will love scooting around on these rechargeable motorized boards. They do offer shipping from their website (hobbytown.com) for $4.99 or free in-store pickup, but looking through the inventory is half the fun, so stop by their location at The Square, 3500 S. College Ave. in Fort Collins or 1935 Main St. in Longmont.

6.5 Transformer Series in green

6.5 Matrix Series in pink chrome

6.5 Transformer Series and 6.5 Matrix Series - $399 The Matrix 6.5 and Transformer 6.5 hoverboard series offers 6.5 inch wheels that use innovative gyroscopic technology. Two footpads with intuitive sensors and smart balance wheels allow it to detect every movement and long lasting, approved Lithium batteries that last up to 12 miles with an average speed up to 10 MPH. They come in a variety of colors with a hard storage case and LED lights for visibility.

The Ares Shadow 240 - $79.99

The Bolt is designed to be a beginner electric skateboard for ages under 10. This starter board offers very low speeds—3 to 10 MPH. 3 speed controls allow the rider to graduate from beginner to intermediate over time.

(reg. $149.99)

A mini quadcopter for both the beginner and the experienced pilot. The 6-axis stabilization system allows agile flight and stability out of the box, plus, the two different control rates with the Shadow 240 help ease the learning curve.

Powerful LEDs and color-coded lighting make the Shadow 240 visible in the dark. When you’re ready for a whole new perspective, just clip on the modular WiFi FPV camera (sold separately). Plus, the same accessories that fit previous generations of similar class Ares quadcopters will also fit the Shadow 240. So, you can easily add a rocket launcher, a squirt gun, a bubble machine, or a working winch.

Everything needed is in the box, including AA batteries for the 4-channel transmitter, a 780mAh 1S 3.7V LiPo battery and an AC charger for convenient charging from almost any outlet.

What’s yourVintage?

Igloo Retro Compact Refrigerator with Side Bottle Opener 1.6 cu. ft., $129.99 (walmart.com)

By Misty Kaiser, Reporter-Herald Vintage is hot, whether real or not. Take a stroll through any mall and you’ll likely encounter record players, remakes of toys from your youth, and colorful appliances that look like something your grandmother might have owned.

Surf around sites like Etsy and even eBay and you may be surprised by the prices your old handbags, jewelry and clothing may fetch.

Odds are you know either someone who actively pursues vintage items, or someone who loves the cute and kitchy look.

The question then becomes are you looking for the thing truly from yesteryear or the thing that just looks like it is.

Truly Vintage

One of the primary appeals of buying “real” vintage items is that you are getting something that is a little more unique. Even if it was mass produced to begin with, many may no

November 24, 2016

Crosley Executive Portable USB Turntable $109.95 (barnesandnoble.com)

longer exist.

They often carry a true sense of nostalgia as well.

Unfortunately, depending on what you’re looking for, it may also come with a price tag to match.

Pieces by designers and makers that are out of production can be in high demand.

However, if you’re open to doing a little digging locally, the finds can be more than worth it.

Fort Collins Flea Market, Foothills Flea Market in Fort Collins and Front Range Mercantile in Longmont are great places to start. You can shop multiple vendors, with vintage goods of all types at one time. And, of course there are websites, etsy.com and ebay.com, for example, that will allow you to search more specifically.

Sometimes natural wear is part of the charm of vintage items. But you don’t want something that’s on the verge of falling apart, so remember to carefully inspect items of any age for damage, missing components or signs of damage to

come.

Vintage Inspired

Since vintage is so hot, finding reproduction items or just brand new product lines with the vintage look is pretty easy right now.

The benefits are obvious: warranties, return policies

Battleship Game Retro Series 1967 Edition $13 (target.com)

and little concern about damage.

You won’t have to look far either. Barnes and Noble carries Crosley turntables with an old-fashioned flair and the vinyl albums to go with them.

An Igloo mini fridge— turquoise for the she-shed or red for the man-cave— looks like it popped out of grandma’s kitchen and right into Walmart.

Even Target carries a wide selection of “Retro Series” games that come in their original editions with the packaging and pieces you remember.

The trade-offs to “new” vintage, are its lack of history and that it is one of many. To true collectors, that may matter more than you think. But, then they can always return it, so there’s that advantage.

Whichever you choose for the retro-fan in your life, you’re sure to score a holiday home run with a thoughtful vintage gift.
