I love mine too and have been trying to find fun Croc Jibbitz charms for them!

I feel this! I found a Scream inspired jibbit that I really loved, but it came in a pack of 20, and I didn’t want a single one of the other 19 jibbitz. Le sigh!

My dream Jibbitz are:
1.) A Ghostface Mask
2.) A Newspaper (because of my  PR and journalism jobs)
3.) An Audrey II
4.) The letters D and C

​@DEClarke I’m totally into this turning into a jibbitz ranking! I have some Taylor Swift ones, and would also love something photography themed (camera or polaroid or such), and I love the idea of letter options! 

Excuse me, ​@DEClarke and ​@Maria Dehne but I am going to need pics of your existing Jibbitz!

(...also, not me taking notes on your dream Jibbitz for future mChampion awards… )

​@Jacinda Espinosa, my existing Jibbitz is just the one that came with the shoes. I haven’t bought others because I haven’t found the ones I want. Or, when I do find them, I have to buy 20+ at a time to get the one I want.

​@Jacinda Espinosa here are mine! Taylor themed, as some purple ones from a local high school; so fun!

Haha, love that!

Welcome, ​@Cali Sullivan! Fire poi is extremely cool, I’m in absolute awe of people who can do this 🤩 Personally, I’m way too much of a chicken to swing around fireballs, but it definitely speaks to my deep-seated desire to be a sorcerer

It took me a while to get brave enough to take off my hat!
