I ATTEND A LOT OF VARIOUS CONFERENCES (mostly church & Christian related topics, as well as stop human trafficking, pro-life etc ...AND THEY ALWAYS have booths that hand out these wrist bands...and they work PERFECTLY as starbuck "sleeves"...so you don't need a new one every time to prevent your hand from being burned. And they are colorful and also, in my case, advertise themes that go well with Christmas..ie "every child deserves a family"; "faith of our fathers", etc
