Living Without's Favorites: Jewelry with a Job

Allerbling is more than a pretty face. This brightly colored bracelet assembles like a toy, wears like fun kiddie jewelry and alerts others (day care providers, teachers, play date moms, medical staff) to your child’s allergies when he is too young or too ill to speak for himself. Allerbling comes as a kit—two orange wristbands and charms for the Big 8 food allergens—that you customize to suit your child’s medical condition. Designed by concerned parents for their severely food-allergic young son, Allerbling is serious business that’s fun. For ages 3 and up. Available online.
