Marty,
Any mother of a preteen girl knows that within 5 minutes of being in the store Claire's, you can blow through $50 in the blink of an eye. Subsequently, that place makes me want to throw myself in front of some moving traffic. So, I was overjoyed when my older daughter discovered a wall of bracelets at Walmart for only a buck. That's right, $1! Wooden bead bracelets, jelly and friendship bracelets in every color, and other fun string bracelets. "Sure, get one for your BFF, get 5 or 6 for yourself, go for it.", I said. I even got a handful of the wooden beads for myself! Even though my darling 8 year old looked at me like I was crazy, she gleefully obliged. And we both walked out happy...and not broke.

PS-Marty, the wooden bead ones look great mixed with my big, wood bangle from Anthropologie. And you know that one was not a buck!
So happy to find an alternative to Claire's! My 8 year old LOVES that place and her mom is going to LOVE thi$ place! Thank you!
