Boombox®

We absolutely applaud what Boombox is doing to help the gifter collect sentiments. Growing up, whenever we wanted to gather notes of love and memories for a family member, we had to physically reach out to each contributor and explain what we were trying to do. Boombox does all the heavy lifting for you. Contributors can submit their note and images electronically. Boombox manages all requests, reminders, collection, and production of the physical box.

Moonglow® Jewelry

Maybe it's because our children are super into learning about the solar system right now, but we can't get enough of Moonglow jewelry. We love the idea of memorializing the most important moments in someone's journey with jewelry featuring the moon from the dates that have changed their lives.
