Somethings are hard to say out loud
About Fond Tokens:
We've been taught to keep our feelings tidy and to not make a fuss, caring has started to feel uncool. Most gifts on the high street are generic because they're made for everyone, which means they're not really for anyone.
Fond Tokens exists to change that.
"Art begins where ordinary language stops being enough."
What makes Fond Tokens different?
Hi, I'm Paris, a 3D designer with a background in animation, XR and film, and I use 3D printing to build keepsakes with real depth, not just a name on a surface. I start with your story and design around it, so each piece is made for one person and one reason.
What I do
We take your memories, inside jokes, and personal milestones and translate them into tangible, lasting keepsakes. Rather than just printing objects, we use the power of storytelling and years of specialized 3D printing expertise to craft pieces that tell your unique story.
Nothing is mass-produced, and our year-round store operates seasonally with limited edition runs.
Let's break the monotony of the everyday with a gift that genuinely surprises, and delights.
Why I started Fond Tokens
Growing up, there were times I felt like the "convenience friend", acknowledged, well-liked but not really seen. But when Christmases and birthdays came around, my family would put so much thought into my giftd, that I knew I belonged and I want others to feel the same. Gifts mattered to me because when there were times I struggled to keep perspective and see the bigger picture, those gifts would act as tangible tokens that would bridge me back to what is real and what I can rely on - true connection.
My favourite tokens to collect were Willow Tree figurines, each one representing a different part of me. When I looked at that shelf, I could see myself in one place. And that's what I make now: keepsakes that hold a person or a moment, uniquely.
