"Blingle Bands is such an easy way for my friends and I to create a custom accessory that really complements our unique styles, and I am beyond excited to be a part of sharing Blingle Bands with kids everywhere," said Sky Katz.

"The National Friendship Day launch presented the perfect timing for Blingle Bands to rally around.  We know many kids have been missing their friends, and headed into back-to-school season, Blingle Bands gives them a way to express themselves with a fun and stylish friendship bracelet craft to wear and share. With so many gem colors and designs, and a portable reusable pod pack, kids can Blingle anywhere," said Liz Grampp, senior director, marketing, Moose Toys.
