Presents Versus Presence: Gift-giving or attention-giving?

Pulp 101 on How To Give The Gift of Time! 

The best gift is your time.

And now’s the season to double up (belt and braces style) with both. Who gets what, when, where, and why—your face time and material offerings. You decide! 

Pulp can help you be together with your best people with these in-tandem items.

Ever heard of ‘The Attention Economy’? No? Well: 

“The attention economy is a concept where human attention is considered a valuable and limited resource. Think of it like a currency. Companies and individuals compete to capture your attention, just like they would compete for money. In the digital age, with endless information and entertainment options, our attention is becoming even more valuable.” 

Uh-huh. Sound familiar? Where attention goes, energy flows. 

Now then. How can we balance things out a bit more and channel that energy towards our loved ones? Less phone face time, more physical face time. How about a compromise where both parties still look at images but do it together? We’re thinking of good old-fashioned photographs- in albums! 

Semikolon photo album 

In orange, black, burgundy and marine, set your images into this classic album, and then pour over the memories with your fam-a-lam when the time is right—a genuinely fulfilling activity. 

There was once a time when photo albums were cutting-edge technology! Yup, early photographs were unique, but new technology allowed for creating multiple prints from a negative. This made sharing photos with family and friends possible, which led to the need for new ways to display and store them… 

Enter photo albums! 

The Semikolon has a distinct design and first-class craftsmanship: the pages of the Classic Album are made of high-quality creamy white cardstock – sheets of fine glassine paper protect the mounted photos. It is handcrafted and covered in high-quality book linen. 

Size? For the small, it’s 21.6 × 16 cm. Sweet!

Do you want more of this tactile, real-life connection stuff? Then look into sticker books!

Namely: 

The Pepin Press Label and Sticker Books.

A wonderful gift for spending time. Stick images together, together! 

The term "sticker book" was first used in the 1900s, and the origins of stickers and sticker albums can be traced back to ancient times and the 20th century. 

Football (aka soccer) sticker albums were released in the early 60s. For kids (and adults!) to collect, trade or keep as a mini shrine to their favourite players. 

Perfect! Adopt the same mindset and sit with loved ones to pour over stickers depicting natural history, historical maps or butterflies, just to name a few collections on offer! You can also use their contents to decorate packages, presents, label jars, treats and books. 

Here’s what you get!

  • Premium label & sticker book containing 32 sheets of high-quality uncoated sticker paper.
  • 250 stickers, labels and strips of sticky tape in various shapes, sizes and designs.
  • 240x170mm.

Rightio! Next!

House of Nunu double trouble cup set. 

Have a cuppa with your favourite person. Give them the gift of gently brewed cup of tea or coffee. Set it down next to them with care.  Arrange a sweet biscuit next to it. Yap it up, and enjoy the company! 

Double Trouble Cups are a tribute to the fun that comes from a best friend or ‘partner in crime’ (which is why they come as a set of two). It’s basically a ‘cheers’ to those essential people in our lives. 

What's more, they are: 

  • Made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass, designed with a durable double-wall construction, which ensures optimal insulation for your tea or coffee for a more extended period of time.
  • 8.5cm diameter x 7.5cm high, approx. 250ml capacity. Heaps of volume for a hearty cuppa!

 Long live tea! (And the spilling of it!)

Your Time Is Your Life

Sayings about time, anyone?

Time flies over us but leaves its shadow behind. Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it. Time is money. Time moves in one direction, memory in another. Time is a dressmaking specialising in alterations.

Whoa. That’s deep.

The main takeaway here is that time is yours for the taking. Grab a chunk of it and share it with the ones you love! xx

And Hark!
