Top 5 Gifts For Friends
1) Spinning Heart Messenger
Send love notes, a quick message, or a daily hello through this charming bamboo digital box. Inside, a digital screen displays messages sent to you through the app from up to 20 friends and family members. The pixelated heart spins to let you know a sweet surprise is waiting under the lid. Give it a spin back to let the sender know how much you appreciate their kind words.
2) Honeycomb Fortune Locket
Slip some words of wisdom into this intricately patterned fortune locket. The brass and gold-dipped honeycomb design frames your note beautifully—where you and others can enjoy it. Place your own fortune inside or wear the one we’ve hand-selected; the clasp makes it easy to swap out. The sentiment behind them is reminiscent of the classic, heirloom-y locket you might inherit and slip an old photo into—except these necklaces encourage you to look into the future as much as the past.

4) Personalized Premium Kubb Game Set
Try your hand at Kubb, a traditional Scandinavian game that's said to have been played by Vikings. The objective: topple an opponent's blocks by tossing a dowel at them. It’s simple but engaging fun that anyone can join in. Add a personalization to make for a truly one-of-a-kind set.
