The Heart-Mind Box: A Thoughtful Well-Being Gift Box

A thoughtful gift box for well-being — and a gift that gives back. Every Heart-Mind Box is filled with ethically sourced, gender-neutral items chosen to help the person who opens it slow down, take care of themselves, and connect with someone they love. 50% of net proceeds go to the Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education, a secular non-profit that helps adults nurture kindness and resilience in children.

Group and corporate gifting: buy 10 or more boxes and save 10%, applied automatically at checkout.

What's inside

• The Wisdom of Compassion — the book by the Dalai Lama and Victor Chan, who co-founded the Dalai Lama Center. Stories of remarkable encounters and timeless insights from decades of friendship.
• Two rosewood mala bracelets — custom made for the Heart-Mind Box in the colors of the Dalai Lama by a multigenerational, family-owned workshop in Nepal. Keep one, and give the other to someone important to you, so you stay connected wherever you are.
• A handcrafted Lokta paper gift box for the malas, made in Nepal from traditional Lokta bark paper.
• Heart-Mind Pure Black Tea — 30 servings of top-grade loose-leaf Assam tea from two of the region's top tea gardens, selected by fourth-generation tea expert Saunam Bhattacharjee as the best of the season. (Also sold on its own.)
• Five 20-minute beeswax meditation candles with holder — handmade in the USA from locally sourced beeswax by 20 Minute Candles. Each one burns for about 20 minutes, a small, undistracted block of time to rest, reflect or simply breathe.
• Dot rock painting set — assembled by our team from separately sourced materials, with tools 3D-printed by students at a California high school maker's space. A calm, creative activity to do alone or with kids.
• Laser-engraved bookmark with the Dalai Lama's words: "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."

Why people give it

Every box includes something to help you connect with others, something to help you care for yourself, and a link to the science behind well-being. It works as a birthday or holiday gift, a sympathy or thank-you gift, a self-care gift for someone going through a hard time, or a meaningful corporate gift for clients and teams.
