The Little Words Project bracelets are also popular and make great gifts .
The ones at The Golden Feather feature words such as Love , Besties , Dog Mom , Cool Mom , Boy Mom , Girl Mom , Cat Mom , Fur Mama , Grandma and Auntie .
Back in downtown Hammonton , April Carnesale , the owner of Exit 28 Boutique , is excited to add the Little Words Project bracelets in her store .
“ Each one is numbered . You can go online . Register it . Put something positive that ’ s happened to you and pass it on to somebody else , and they can go back and look at it . I thought that was ingenious , so the next person can pull up and see where it traveled and where it ’ s been and all the positive things that has happened to those people ,” Carnesale said .
Exit 28 Boutique carries custom bracelets that say Hammonton and Exit 28 .
Other Little Words Project bracelets they have include the following : Good Energy , Strength , Take it Easy , Ride or Die , Grateful , Love , Breathe , Happy , Refresh , Shine and Serenity .
