Friendship Bracelets from Camp Smartypants

by Ciaran Blumenfeld on December 7, 2009

Summer days have faded and we’re heading into the holidays. What better time though, to reaffirm a special friendship and say, “You’re a pal for all seasons!” Friendship bracelets from Camp Smartypants keep those friendship campfires burning.

I love these cards and bracelets almost as much now, as I did when I was a kid. It’s the perfect thing for a tween to drop in the mail to tell a friend they are thinking of them, whether they live next door or their parents job has transferred them to the other side of the globe.

The card that these come with are what makes them extra special and perfect for holiday season gifting. Why wait for the summer months to make your friends feel special?

Ciaran is a crafter, writer and shopper. Her children's clothing line Francie Pants was born in her garage on an old serger. She prescribes retail therapy for the masses on a daily basis on her shopping blog Popshopology.
