Worried of that extra weight you may gain before the wedding day? Use a wearable wristband to track your stats for you, specifical­ly how you sleep, move and eat. Jawbone UP24 band can be synced to apps for easy view of all your data. The UP system helps you reach your goals with activity recommenda­tions, helpful tips, and encouragin­g reminders. Plus, the constant physical reminder may stop you from reaching for that extra slice. Price: RM168 at Lazada.com.my. If you plan on saving budget on a DJ service, consider using digital music service Spotify. Customise your own wedding playlist and simply connect your device of choice to speakers on the big day to get the tunes pumping. You can also get suggestion­s from family, friends and on the app itself on songs selection to save time. Just make sure to opt for adfree Spotify premium so that your playlists won’t be reliant on WiFi. Price: RM2 for three months (offer ends on Dec 31). Look sophistica­ted all the while storing 16.8 Gigabytes. These cufflinks are actual working flash drives that will hold your clothes together and keep your data at hand.
