Sea otters have got to be the most adorable friends on the planet. They actually hold hands while they're asleep so they don't drift away from each other.
Sea otters will often float in groups which are called rafts. Whether there are two otters or hundreds, they all hold hands so that no otter is separated.
Which is why the sea otter is the perfect symbol of friendship.
Alex and Ani have embraced the wisdom of the sea otter and produced another friendship bracelet called the "side by side".

The "side by side" bangle signifies love, bond and security. In Alex and Ani's words "... otters are symbols of friendship and unity. Rafting side-by-side, otters are comforting creatures adaptable to change and transition. Bask in the glow of good times and make the best of what floats your way."
It was the perfect Christmas gift from my bestie in Pennsylvania. While it's sad that we have separated our otters we are secure in the knowledge that they will be holding hands again very soon.
This is my third Alex and Ani bangle. I am in love with the brand and their charity focus. I am also very excited to discover that they are now in Australia!
Thanks for another wonderful gift Cathy.
And thanks for another great concept Alex and Ani.
Oh I adore this idea. How special. I had no idea that sometimes hundreds of otters join together. That is so cute. The otter is my new favourite animal. As for the bracelets, gorgeous.
