Hospital gift shop offering new items
Twig III’s Gift Shop Committee recently met at the Van Wert Hospital Gift Shop to unpack its shipment of the latest new fad sweeping across the country: Little silicone bracelets in an array of shapes that have kids from toddlers to grandparents buying.
The packages include an array of shapes, such as animals, sports themes, and sea creatures. Once taken off the wrist, the colored gel bracelets bounce back into shape. In addition to collecting them, both boys and girls swap them.
The bands, which are becoming a national fad, could also be used for binding items together, but are mainly just for fun, as well as being an inexpensive item.
The Gift Shop is located inside the front entrance
of Van Wert County Hospital and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The
proceeds from the gift shop go directly to the hospital.
