A coupon book for when you can't be there

Long distance makes gift-giving oddly difficult. Posting anything is slow and expensive, and half of what you'd want to give is the thing you can't: being in the same room.

A book of promises gets around both problems, and you can choose how it lands. Give the shipping address as theirs and the hardback goes straight to them, printed and bound to order — no trip to the post office at your end. Or send the digital book, which arrives the second you send the code.

Either way the promises can be written for the distance: calls that don't get cut short, a film watched at the same time, and the ones saved up for whenever you're next in the same place.

$44.99 — a real hardback, posted. Printed and bound to order in landscape boards, one promise to a page, despatched within 10 days. The digital book is included, so you can send the code the moment you pay.

Questions

What can you give someone far away?

The things distance takes away: unhurried attention, shared time made deliberate, and something concrete to look forward to when you're next together. A coupon book holds all three and needs no postage.

Does it work across time zones?

There's nothing time-sensitive in it. They open it whenever they wake up and redeem promises whenever they like.

How do I send it to them?

You get a link and a secret code. Send either however you already talk — message, email, or read the code out on a call.
