What people are saying

From real recipients and the people who gifted them.

★★★★★

Cried when she opened it

I bought the angel wing for my mom on the anniversary of losing her sister. The card said exactly what I couldn't. She wears it every day now.

★★★★★

Beautifully packaged

Gave the karma circle necklace to my best friend for her 30th. The packaging alone made her gasp — and the message on the card was the best part.

✓ Verified Buyer · Maya R. · Jan 2026

★★★★★

Tiny but mighty

I love how small and dainty the pendants are — exactly what my daughter would wear. The compass one was perfect for her gap year goodbye.

From the studio

Why I started Little Meanings

I started Little Meanings because the things I wanted to say to my closest people were too big for a text — and too small for a speech. So I started writing them on cards, attaching a small pendant to each one. Years later, I'm still doing it.
