Some memories deserve more than your camera roll.
Put the videos your family loves into a glass keepsake they can replay all Christmas, and long after.
- Plays video with sound
- No app, no Wi-Fi
- Real human help
Your camera roll is full of gifts.
Thousands of videos. Grandma has seen maybe ten. Pick the one she'd watch on repeat, and give it a place by the tree.
My mom cried before she even finished watching it.
“It feels way more personal than buying her another candle or sweater she doesn't need.”
A photo freezes the moment. This lets them replay it.

One second, standing still.
The Heirloom Orb
The laugh, the wobble, the voice. Playing.
For the grandparents who never get enough of them.
They've got the framed pictures and the mug with your faces on it. Give them the laugh, the first wobbly steps, the “I love you, Grandma.”
It actually feels like part of our Christmas tree.
“We live a few states away from my parents, so they don't get to see the kids nearly as much as they'd like. Having little moments of the grandkids right there on the tree made it feel like we were somehow there with them. My dad kept replaying the same clips over and over.”
Three steps. No app. No Wi-Fi.
Made for anyone with a laptop. You don't need to be good with tech.

Press play
Unplug it, set it on its stand, and let the moment play.
I was worried setting it up would be a headache.
“That was the main reason I almost didn't order it because I wanted something meaningful, not another tech gift I'd spend an hour trying to figure out. Loading our family memories onto it was much simpler than I expected, and once it was ready all Grandma had to do was enjoy it. Definitely one of those gifts that looks like you put way more effort into it than you actually did.”
“My mom cried before she even finished watching it.”
“I loaded it with little videos of the grandkids from this year and gave it to my mom early for Christmas. I honestly thought she'd think it was just another decoration, but the second she realized what was playing she got emotional. It feels way more personal than buying her another candle or sweater she doesn't need.”
Not just another photo ornament.

I expected it to feel kind of cheap in person.
“I was nervous because personalized gifts online can look amazing in the pictures and then show up feeling flimsy. This surprised me. It actually looks nice enough to hang with the rest of our Christmas decorations, and the memory part is what makes everyone stop and ask about it.”
Give one. Or give both sides of the family.
We ended up getting one for both sides of the family.
“I originally bought one for my parents with videos of the kids, then realized my husband's parents were going to want the exact same thing. It's probably the first Christmas gift we've found that works for grandparents who already have everything. Instead of giving them more stuff, we gave them moments they actually care about.”
Before you order
How do I add videos?
Plug the orb into a computer with the USB cable in the box and copy your files across. Some phone videos need to be converted to the orb's format first. Our setup guide shows you how.
Do I need Wi-Fi, an app, or a subscription?
No. There's no app, no Wi-Fi, and no monthly fee.
Can I load videos straight from my phone?
Not directly. Move the videos to a computer first, then copy them onto the orb.
Does it play sound?
Yes. It has a built-in speaker, so they hear the voices too.
Can I change the videos later?
Yes. Plug it back in and swap the files whenever you like.
Can it hang on the tree?
It comes with a display stand and sits best beside the tree, on the mantel, or on a shelf. We're testing it on real branches and will update this answer.
How long does the battery last?
We're measuring it on our own units now and will post the real number here.
