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) Connection Orb
You are Seen. You are Heard. You are Loved. This Ornament is about connection. Throughout our lives we create meaningful connections by letting the people around us know that they are seen, heard and loved. The band in the center connecting the two colors represents how beautiful it can be to reach out and connect with others. When we do, something new and beautiful occurs. These connections add depth and color to our lives. Let someone know today that they are seen, heard, loved.
3) 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) Rattan Bike Planter
LIKHÂ: Rattan Bike Planter - Large
5) Book Themed Lightweight Scarf
Wrap a book lover (maybe that’s you!) in a literary scarf bearing the words from a classic piece of literature. The square scarves are handcrafted in Oregon with screen-printed text that’s heat-set to help prevent fading. Each scarf beautifully celebrates a book or poem in soft, durable, and lightweight cotton jersey.
