15. Alex and Ani Wonder Woman Cuff
Of all holiday vacation spots, Themyscira would be the most ideal. An island paradise inhabited by fierce warrior queens? Imagine the Christmas card that could come from that trip. Unfortunately, Themyscira has yet to be found in this century. Luckily, there is still a way to at least feel like an Amazon, thanks to Alex and Ani.
Best known for their collectible bangles, the bracelets typically have a single pendant on them, with a beloved quote or icon. Now the jewelry store also has several pop culture lines, including Harry Potter. But nothing says “destroy the patriarchy” like their gold Wonder Woman cuff bracelet.
The style of it is fairly sleek, making the cuff easy to get on and off and fashionable. Plus, it’s far more subtle than any headpiece would be. But to each their own; sometimes the occasion calls for a headpiece. The cuff comes in silver as well, for the times when gold might not work with the entire ensemble.
It’s the perfect accessory to remind a fellow Amazon how fierce she is when heading into a night out. (According to the customer reviews, the feeling of empowerment is indeed built in). Or, for those who only unleash their inner Wonder Woman every so often, the cuff can be a strong cosplay piece.
With Alex and Ani pieces, quality is built in. The cuff can’t stop a bullet, but it’ll look like it can, and for just $48. Ironically, it can be purchased online through the other kind of Amazon or through Zappos.
