This little band can be a great scrap buster, perhaps BFF Bands, done in matching colors?  Maybe

the Designated Driver for the night out?  Sometimes the Lounge offers free NonAlcoholic beverages to the DD. This could be a very cool way of identifying them in a group.  Just a thought.

Until next time

Happy Hooking
