One to give, one to keep: a moving-away gift for best friends

Sometimes best friends end up in different places. A family moves suburbs, or interstate, or someone changes schools — and two kids who saw each other every day suddenly don't.

You can't fix that with a present. But you can give them something to share from far apart, which is exactly what the 2-pack of My Bestie Pop-Open Cards is for.

How the two boxes work

The 2-pack is two complete, matching boxes. Your child keeps one and gives the other to their best friend before the move — one to give, one to keep.

Each box holds the same 30 pop-open cards, numbered 1 to 30, each hiding a secret friendship message. Because the boxes match, the cards become something to do together, apart: open number 7 on a Tuesday, ask your friend to open theirs — by text, on a video call, or through a parent — and compare. Thirty small excuses to stay in touch, with nothing to schedule.

The 2-pack is the complete version of the product, not a bulk discount: the single box is lovely to give, but the pair is built for two people — whether the friend moved last month or the friendship has been long-distance for years.

What's in each box

If you already know the product from our homepage, the short version: the 2-pack is simply two of everything.

Thirty pocket-size die-cut pop-open cards, each with an original secret message inside. A tracker sheet for marking off the numbers you've opened. To/From space on the back of every card. And a mermaid keepsake box to keep them all in.

Every message and illustration is original, designed by a registered psychologist. Suited to ages 5 to 15.

Not moving anywhere? It still works.

Plenty of 2-packs go to best friends who live five minutes apart — same cards, opened side by side at lunch instead of over text. And if you're after other ideas first, our best friend gifts for kids guide has plenty that aren't ours.
