What They Said
We live for these reactions.
"Thanks he really liked the knife. He did call me an idiot so that's always a good sign. 10/10."
"He couldn't decide if he should be offended or impressed. I could literally see the gears spinning in his head. But really, he loved the set - good stuff!"
"My brother called me to say thanks and that I'm dead to him. Best $79 I ever spent."
Show him love. But keep him humble.
Custom notes. Premium gifts he doesn't deserve.
GET IT OVER WITHQuestions
We're a small operation, and managing custom individual notes is a logistical nightmare. Besides, you should find a buddy to split the gift with. Don't hog all the credit-share the love! It's also more economical for you; we're looking out for your wallet here.
If we offended you, honestly, we're sorry. This vibe isn't for everyone. There are plenty of other platforms offering similar products that you can deliver in whatever boring way you choose.
Statistically speaking-and no, we didn't do the actual math-the language and gifts tend to appeal more to men. But look, if you like what we're doing, we are more than happy to take your money!
It is. Stereotypes are usually based on big numbers, but they aren't always true for everyone. If you're the anomaly, we're rooting for you!
Not yet. We're control freaks about quality. Our notes are crafted to land perfectly at each temperature. Custom notes are on the roadmap - but we'll probably still judge yours.
