Here’s an interesting concept in wish-making, that also helps save the planet. Wrap a Brazilet around your wrist and tie three knots. The 200 year old Brazilian tradition says when the bracelet wears off naturally, your wishes will come true. While the wish verdict will of course depend from person to person (you gotta believe, Mom!), one thing is certain – a portion of the proceeds help with rainforest conservation and tree planting in Brazil. Learn more about this effort at www.plantabillion.com.
Available in 13 colorful styles, each say “In remembrance of our patron saint good luck in life” in Portuguese. The Brazilets, which include a card to write down your wishes, will stay on for about 2 weeks or longer. $5 each at www.brazilets.com.
