We have a knack for people of the heart.
That’s why we’re always happy to hear our customers’ stories.
Because they are so lovely- here are some quotes:
Dad flies with
“I went on vacation with my son and grandparents. Unfortunately, my husband couldn’t come with me. Sasha then took one of his dad’s bondees with him and held it for the whole flight. It was very sweet!”
Kathi W., verified customer, Linz
He has Grandma’s hand on his favorite glass.
“Now that’s a story from my life! Before his grandmother died, my son wanted a glass with her handprint on it. He took his favorite glass with his name engraved on it.”
Catharina Bond, verified founder, Vienna
He thought it was great!
“When my son made a bondee for his dad as a present, he didn’t want to give it back. He thought it was great to hold his own hand. The bondee now also accompanies my son to sleep – and for the first time he seems to have found something that calms him down!”
Michaela W., verified customer, Vienna
Holding grandma’s hand.
“My mother has been very ill for a long time. She keeps having to go to hospital, where she spends most of her time alone. I can’t visit her every day because of work, but we made bondees with all her grandchildren when we last visited Grandma. So now she always has her loved ones on the bedside table and we have her bondees with us.”
Veronika R. Verified Buyer, Carinthia
Holding my own hand – the best!
“The imprint of my own hand has helped me to better control my emotions and focus on the here and now. Like a little consciousness anchor – simply the best!”
Anna S., verified customer, Frankfurt
In my handbag!
My husband’s handprint has been in my handbag for ages. Somewhere in the depths…and every time I’m looking for something, it falls into my hand. And that’s really nice – such an unexpected, in-between press!
Theresa, verified customer, Vienna
It makes me focus somehow.
“It’s amazing how something as small as the imprint of my own hand can make such a big difference to my mental state. I have one on my desk, and when I have a lot of studying to do, I reach for it every now and then. It kind of makes me focus….very cool.”
David G., verified customer, Cologne
It was very helpful after the separation.
“I separated from the father of my children and then got psychological counseling for my little girl, who suffered a lot. Dad’s handprint, which my daughter now falls asleep with when she’s longing, has helped a lot.”
Julia F., verified customer, Klosterneuburg
It’s already really worn out.
“I’ve been in a long-distance relationship for 1.5 years. My boyfriend’s bondee is now my new shrine and I always have it with me! It’s really worn out, but somehow it’s also a nice sign of how much I miss him. I think I’ll have to make a new one on my next visit…;-) “
Steffi C., verified customer, Madrid
My 99 year old mother.
“I made an impression with my 99 year old mother. The mass was not too sticky, I mixed it and kneaded it. She was a little tense and clenched her hands tightly. She ignored the fact that this wasn’t necessary, or rather her biography came through. She was used to gripping firmly .”
R.P., verified customer, Waidhofen

Frequently asked questions
Who is a personalized gift from Hearts in Hands suitable for?
We are all about love, connection and creating something together.
Our sets are therefore suitable for anyone who can identify with them.
Every handprint is unique.
Just like the person who makes it.
That’s why the memory of holding a loved one’s hand is so special.
A perfect, personalized gift for various occasions!
Why is Hearts in Hands clay more suitable than clay, plaster or other modeling clay?
Our material is produced especially for us in Germany and has unique advantages:
– No kneading of hard material or mixing with water is necessary.
Ready for immediate use!
– It hardens residue-free in the hand in four minutes.
No burning or long drying necessary!
– The impression is soft, warm, yields to pressure and feels like skin.
– Extremely accurate – the impression shows every single handline, no matter how small.
– The imprint cannot break and retains its shape forever.
– Easy to clean with soap and warm water.
– It leaves no paint stains or crumbs.
– Absolutely safe for use on children over 3 years and animal paws.
What is the shelf life of the mass in the jars in a gift set?
The mass can be stored for approx. 6 months in unopened containers at a room temperature of 5-23 degrees. Longer is possible.
Why are there 2 spoons in the gift set?
At the slightest contact between the two components, there is a risk that they will harden in the jars. It is therefore advisable to use 2 separate spoons to remove the mixture. If you start kneading straight away, then of course 1 spoon is also fine!
