Which option do you think is a more heartwarming option?

  1. Taking out your phone and texting your friend to let them know you’re thinking about them.
  2. Tapping your bracelet which not only makes your friend’s bracelet light up and vibrate, but also their face 🙂

We think number two also!

These bluetooth and app connected bracelets by Bond Touch allow you to have a 1-1 connection with your bestie, no matter where they are in the world.

Just tap your bracelet and as there’s vibrates it will give them that subtle yet heartwarming feeling knowing you’re thinking about them at that very moment.

You can’t hug your friend through a video call, but with HEY Bracelets you can embrace them from anywhere in the world.

Embrace!?

That’s right! Rather than using vibration, HEY Bracelets have a unique piece of technology built in that will tighten the strap of the bracelet giving your friend’s wrist a gently squeeze.

There is a dedicated smartphone app to connect the bracelets, allowing you to send and receive ‘touches’ from one another. You can also keep track of when and where you’ve sent and received touches for a trip down memory lane.
