“Fun, functional and unique, wristbands are a wonderful way of spreading your message.” (Moriss Madison, 2009)
When silicone bracelets rose to popularity a few years ago, there was no way of telling how much of a rage they’d become – but now it seems they’re here to stay. Silicone bracelets are fashionable, gender-neutral items you can never have too many of. They’re customizable and can be made to fit almost any outfit or occasion (even formal ones if you know what you’re doing).
And because silicone bracelets are cool to have for yourself (I love my silicone bracelets!), they’re cool to give as gifts, too. Here are just some ideas on how silicone bracelets can make a great gift:
Statement/Cause Bracelets – Create a bracelet that makes a statement or supports a cause. These types of bracelets abound (think pink cancer bracelets), but customize the bracelet to make it mean even more. Add a date of the name of a loved one, and give it to someone you care about.
Identity/Group Bracelet – This can be a friendship bracelet, a club bracelet, or any other type of limited, unique group bracelet. For a friendship bracelet, customize a one of a kind bracelet pair; give one of the bracelets to your best friend, and wear the other yourself. Or if you’re part of a unique group, customize a bracelet that symbolizes the group identity. It’s a great way to look back over the years and remember the friendship, bonds and activities that you shared with your peers.
Complimentary Gifts – Another way of using silicon bracelets is as a complimentary gift (or as part of a complimentary gift back). Just like people get pens or t-shirts at the end of events and seminars, silicone bracelets are a great item to hand out. Add an inspirational message and silicone bracelets will become an item participants wear and look back to from time to time.
One great website I’ve found for silicone bracelets is http://wristbandsthoughts.com/. The website allows you to customize bracelet size, color, text, font and even image. It also has also great deals for bulk orders, in case you ever want to go that route. Happy silicone braceleting!
