Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A kit, complete with plain flip-flops and lots of fun stuff to decorate them with, in whatever style you want.
Why we love it:
We've noticed a certain trend in America. It's a certain tendency for toes to be displayed, a certain casual kind of footwear slowly taking over the country. We even saw the makeover mavens on TLC suggesting these casual, comfy pseudo-sandals. We're a little ashamed to admit it, but as of the writing of this article, we ourselves are wearing a pair. There's no resisting it. Flip-flops are just so comfortable!
Beyond the comfort level, there's an opportunity for self-expression, soccer flip-flops for the soccer moms, flip-flops dangling with musical notes for the budding musicians, along with every other theme you can imagine. But no! We say, this is not enough! We want more variety in our toe-splitting footwear. We want complete control. Thankfully for us, and for the other flip-flop fans on your list, these fun and whimsical flip-flop kits fit the bill. A pair of flip-flops, glitter paint, jewels and everything else they need to make the flip-flops that suit them to a tee. We'd say that this gift is just for kids, but we know a few too many flip-flop happy adults to think that's really likely. For kids or adults, it's a fun, creative project that turns into a handy pair of personalized flip-flops. What more could you need?
Who we'd give it to:
Teen girls, soccer moms, flip-flop lovers, arsty kids, crafty folks
