or any other glow item.... I've seen them at Target dollar spot, but I haven't checked recently. Are they a seasonal item there? If not Target, where can I find them? I need them very soon, so I don't have a lot of time to check out a bunch of stores!
Thanks!!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you so much! It sounds like I have a bunch of options. I need to have them for Friday, so online stores won't work this time, but I'll keep those in mind for the next occasion I need them!

I can't think of a store that doesn't always have them!

And you can always try Oriental Trading online for convenience.

I buy packages of them at the dollar store. they also have larger ones such as a wand with a star. We used one like that for my DD's halloween costume.

Party City has them. If you have any extra time, Oriental Trading has them as well. I've got them at Target and I don't think they were seasonal.

Good luck!

I dislike to promote WalMart but know they have them - they had the bracelets and necklace versions as well as shorter, thicker sticks on a lanyard...

Do you have a novelty store near you?

I saw some in the dollar aisle at Target today. I think 5 or 10 were in a package (small bracelet sized)

I've seen them at Michaels as well, again small bracelet style.

Oriental Trading has all types and sizes and they are usually pretty quick on shipping.

We also bought some around the holidays at Home Depot (more sturdy type for Halloween use)

Good luck

I go to the Dollar Tree, where everything is a dollar. They have all kinds of things that glow. My daughter who turned 16 wanted glow sticks, she had two friends and we stayed the night at a hotel. I went to the Dollar Tree and got glow sticks, wands with stars, and all kinds of stuff.

Good luck!

I ordered a box of a hundred or so from Amazon for about $20. (We handed them out instead of candy to trick or treaters - a huge hit!) They were nice 3" ones, with a lanyard.
