Our Must Haves For October

Parents of kids with food allergies put a lot of trust in their kids when they send them into the world. Allermates aims to make kids more comfortable talking about their allergies with a line of wristbands, EpiPen cases, stickers, and more featuring cute characters. The wristbands ($7 and up) are like kiddie versions of medic-alert bracelets identifying kids' allergies in a friendly way. For kids with multiple allergies, the charm bracelet ($17) has space for six of the most common allergy charms: peanut, nut, dairy, egg, wheat, and asthma.
