Pura Vida started when a couple of grads took a trip to Costa Rica to celebrate officially being grown up, and met man selling bracelets on the roadside.

They also have platinum bracelets and bracelets with a cause (besides the plain $5 thread ones and the $8 beaded). I can't see anyone not having a thing for these. Perfect for beachside or surf sesh ... may need.
