More from ThinkGeek

In my continued browsing of the ThinkGeek site, I also came across a set of ID bracelets (another licensed product from Universal Studios) with the following description:

You're my favorite monster 
It's important to remember that Mary Shelley never gave her monster a name. It is we who named him Frankenstein after his creator. Frankenstein may be about many things, but one of the topics the story broaches is loneliness - that feeling the monster has that he is the only one of his kind in the world. He needs his own monster to feel kinship in this world.

We know that feeling of not fitting in, and maybe you do, too. Perhaps you also have a special monster in your life, or you are that special monster for someone else. This set of bracelets, reading "His Monster" and "Her Monster," lets you declare both your relationship and your otherworldliness all in one.
