A few weeks ago I went to a gift event at NYC's iconic Bloomingdale's. I met with a few personal shoppers and got some inspired gift ideas. My favorite item was the Friendship Bracelet from Links of London. These cool bracelets ($180) can be for men or women. They are hand-woven with thread on sterling silver. I fear Bloomies may have run out of them since I couldn't find the link online, but you can snap them up at Links of London's online shop.

The Marc Jacobs collection also caught my eye. These wrap bracelets ($78) come in three colors are are sure to punch-up your wardrobe when winter gets dreary.

So since I obviously have a thing for bracelets right now I went on the hunt for more. I started thinking about the 'tweens and teens on my list--thinking bracelets are cool, collectible and very wearable. I think these Juicy Bracelets ($35) make great little gifties. And one last note. Bloomingdale's is running a contest giving away a $2,000 shopping spree. You can enter here. Happy Shopping!

Bloomingdale's did not pay me for this post. And sadly, no products were received for testing.
