Official Pajamas

So there is a brand new trendy fashion craze called Silly Bandz.  Not only have silly bandz taken over the lives of kids this summer but silly bandz have also taken over adults, club goers, college students, high school students and everyone else in between.  It is always funny how something so simple can become something so trendy like Poggs or Beany Babies or Jelly bracelets.  So what are Silly Bandz and who are Silly Bandz good for or fun for?

What are Silly Bandz?

Silly Bandz are rubber bands that are shaped in fun shapes.  They come in packs of 24 or if you go to a store that sells silly bandz you can sometimes buy them individually.  Silly bandz can be used for normal things that regular rubber bands are used for like holding rolled paper together and for closing and holding bags closed like when you need to close or keep closed a bag of chips or snack foods.  Silly Bandz come in a ton of colors and shapes including blue, green, red, yellow and everything from mermaids, to baseball shapes to US patriotic shapes that also come in red white and blue and pretty much everything in between.  The funny thing is though that instead of using silly bandz to be practical, people are using them as a fashion accessory.

Over the fourth of july weekend I went to the beach with my friends.  Not only did we go shopping but when we would pass by stores we would see signs for silly bandz everywhere.  I was wondering what everyone at the beach was wearing on their wrists and finally the store clerk took one off and it popped back into its original shape instead of a regular rubber band.   After she showed us that I noticed that everyone at the beach was wearing these things.

Who uses silly bandz?

Silly bandz can be used by just about everyone (as long as they are old enough if kids and they have parental supervision).  I saw kids going crazy over them in the stores and shops and I saw our servers and bartenders (both male and female) wearing them at the restaurants and bars.  People in the clubs were giving them out to people they thought were cute and they sort of became their own form of currency.  Kids were trading them like they were baseball cards and parents were getting stuck wearing them when their kids gave them a couple (however they also seemed like they thought they were cool to).   At the beach house we rented, before I found out what they were, I just thought that they were cool looking rubber bands, unfortunately my friends didn’t think it was that cool when I used the ones laying out on the counter to close a bag of chips.  Although they were probably intended for practical purposes and for age appropriate kids (whatever the minimum age is on the silly bandz package) it turns out that just about everyone loved silly bandz.  I even ended up wearing a couple of them on my wrists as well.

Silly Bandz for Boys:

There are tons of shapes and styles for silly bandz and especially silly bandz for boys.  You can buy silly bandz for boys in shapes like rock bands, baseball shapes (which could considered softball silly bandz shapes as well for girls), Silly Bandz dinosaurs, military shapes and a heck of a lot more.  The thing is that although bracelets and toy jewelry is normally a girls thing, silly bandz made shapes that were perfect for girls but they also made some fabulous and fun silly bandz for boys as well including my personal favorites the rainforest, wild west and the silly bandz piratez bandz.

Silly Bandz for Girls:

Of course when you think of toy jewelry you think it is for girls instead of boys and you can buy silly bandz girls shapes in a ton of fun styles.  Some of the most popular girls silly bandz include the princess shapes, fantasy shapes, letters so they can spell their names and more.  Girls love the silly bandz and I can see why, they are cute, fun and an absolutely creative toy that they can collect and play with.  There are tons of girls silly bandz styles and if you have both boys and girls or are giving silly bandz away as party favors you could always buy silly bandz in mixed packs.

General shapes Silly Bandz:

If you need to buy silly bandz in a mixed package for a mixed group, here are some of the most popular packages of silly bandz for boys and girls.  Silly Bandz Fun Shapes come in stars, bones, dollar signs, suns and other unisex shapes so that there will be a silly band for everyone who wants one.  The Silly Bandz rainforest shapes come in gorilla, jaguar, frog lizard and many other shapes that could easily be for guys or girls and they come in solid colors so they are perfect for unisex gift bags.  The musical instruments set is also a perfect set of silly bandz that you can buy for a mixed group of kids or adults.  They come in all of the favorite musical instrument shapes that your kids love and they will love wearing their favorite instruments, especially if they are in their school’s band.

Silly bandz are some of the most popular trends this summer and year and since they are cheap to buy silly bandz they are also a nice break from the expensive trends we have seen in the past like beanie babies.  I thought that silly bandz were kind of dumb at first but after the weekend at the beach I ended up getting sucked into this trend and craze as well.   You can buy silly bandz by clicking on any of the images or links in the amazon box in this post.  Make sure you keep coming back though when you need to buy silly bandz or want to find new shapes so that we can get credit for the sales and keep this blog going to bring you the newest and most popular trends and ideas for pajamas, pajama parties and fun pajama party favor ideas like silly bandz.   Thank you for reading this blog post and if you like silly bandz as much as I do, click the tweet button at the top of the post to tweet this to all your friends on twitter and leave a message below.  You can also buy silly bandz by clicking on any of the links in the amazon boxes at the top and the bottom of this post.  Thank you again for reading.
