Dear visitor,

Living far apart from friends and family is a fact of life today.
Our personal connections are often strained by distance.

😔🌎😔

It is difficult to express our emotions, even when we are face-to-face.
Sometimes people don't know how much we care.

🤔

Life moves pretty fast, and we are all very busy.
If we don't stop to celebrate, we miss memorable experiences.

🏃‍♀️🏃

These challenges can be difficult to overcome.
But we are motivated to help.

💪

Because we all need love and belonging.
It makes us human.

👩‍❤️‍👩 💑 👨‍❤️‍👨

We want to celebrate connections to friends and family.
Giving affection is essential for recognition, intimacy, and trust.

😗 ❤️ 🤗

People give and receive gifts to celebrate milestones like birthdays.
Gifts help us express our appreciation and gratitude.

😗 💐 🤗

Gift giving improves our quality of life:

• Feel more positive emotions
• Relish good experiences
• Improve our health
• Deal with adversity
• Build strong relationships

* The best part: This is true for givers and receivers!

😌 💐 😌

But there are so many gift options.
How can you choose one? It's not easy.

❓ 🎁 ❓

Did you know that 28% of gifts are returned in the US?

😮

And retailers throw away about 40% of the returned gifts.
The result is over $9 billion wasted each year on bad gifts.

🙀

Worse: A bad gift can hurt a relationship.
People who receive bad gifts feel misunderstood, and unappreciated.

😧💔😠

How to give a bad gift*:
* Don't do this.

• Don't make it special
• Forget a personal message
• Make it about things, instead of feelings
• Give a useless gift the receiver cannot enjoy
• Give something the giver would like, instead of the receiver

👎💩

Can you give special gifts?
Yes!

👍😎

Special gifts are simple:

• Special gifts emphasize a personal connection between givers and receivers.
• Special gifts help givers express their feelings in a meaningful way.
• Special gifts help to create a memorable experience.

💌

And gift giving is changing:

• Gift giving is happening online.
• Personalized gifts are growing in popularity.
• Givers want to share experiences, not just things.
• Digital media and the internet create new opportunities.

📱

So we asked ourselves this question:
"What if we made a new kind of special gift today?"

❤️ + 🎁 + 👩‍💻 = ?

Could we make a special gift?

• A gift that helps you express your feelings?
• A gift that emphasizes your personal connections?
• A gift that is meaningful for both the givers and receivers?

🌈 ✨

That is our goal, our target, our aim... our dream ☁️ ...
But how can we achieve it?

☁ ⟶ 🎯 ❓

We took a people-first approach to design a new kind of gift.
A special gift for your special someone.
