Let your gift show that the person receiving it truly matters to you.

The usual question is: What should I give? We ask a different one:

What do you want your gift to say to this person?

Each edition turns the answer into an object. A bookmark gives it words.

  1. The thought

    What you want to tell someone.

  2. The object

    A symbol that makes it tangible.

  3. The bookmark

    Words that stay.

  4. The gift

    A moment for someone who matters.

Each edition says something different.

Two editions, two thoughts. Choose the one you want to give.

FEIGE

For moments when someone is completely themselves.

At its heart: a sleep mask. Plus an A5 notebook, a pen, a collector’s card and the bookmark with the message “Mehr Ja. Mehr Jetzt. Mehr Leben.” (More yes. More now. More life.)

See the box

PEAR

Give five minutes. The hourglass makes them visible.

At its heart: an hourglass that runs for five minutes. Plus an A5 notebook, a pen, a collector’s card and the bookmark with the message “Langsam ist auch ein Tempo. Und manchmal genau das Richtige.” (Slow is a pace too. And sometimes exactly the right one.)

For teams and clients, there is the Corporate Edition OLIVE. More for business

Some moments are worth marking.

The bookmark is the signature of TAKE A MOMENT. Each edition has its own, illustrated in an original design. It stays in the book long after the box has been put away, and the message stays with it.

For the page in the book. For the thought that follows.

A card that lingers.

Every box holds a collector’s card from Card Collection #01. What it says stays with you long after the gift has been unwrapped.

To celebrate. To say thank you. Or simply because you thought of someone.

A gift doesn’t need to explain much. Just say the right thing.

The collector’s card
From Card Collection #01, clipped to the notebook.
The notebook
A5, for thoughts that deserve paper.
The pen
So the first thought goes straight onto paper.
Corporate Edition OLIVE bookmarks on linen notebooks: an olive branch on the front, on the back the message “Man sieht die Früchte. Nicht die Zeit, die in ihnen steckt.” (You see the fruit. Not the time that went into it.)

Appreciation is personal. The gift should be too.

Not another standard gift, but a gesture that means something. The Corporate Edition OLIVE contains an hourglass, a notebook and a pen, plus its own bookmark with an olive branch and a thank-you card for your team. The bookmark reads: “Man sieht die Früchte. Nicht die Zeit, die in ihnen steckt.” (You see the fruit. Not the time that went into it.)

Three thank-you messages. For teams that want to say more.

Not sure how to thank your team? We’ve done it for you. Many years of corporate experience went into three messages that keep a thank-you from sounding like a duty. You choose one of them for your Corporate Edition OLIVE. Shown here in the original German, with a translation.

Zum Beispiel du.

Danke für alles, was keine Kennzahl hat.

Not everything that counts is in the annual report. You, for example. Thank you for everything that has no KPI.

For individuals.For teams.For people.

How good intentions become real appreciation.

Fifteen years of professional experience, a degree in quality management and several years in supply chain management have shaped how I see collaboration, communication and responsibility. In those years I saw plenty of corporate gifts that were well meant but often felt interchangeable.

That is why TAKE A MOMENT exists: a gift brand where the message behind a gift matters more than the object itself. Meaning, not kitsch.

A gift is no substitute for good leadership. But a thoughtful gesture can show that you truly see the person behind the performance.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy TAKE A MOMENT?

Currently on Amazon.de: FEIGE and PEAR. Our own shop is in the works.

What’s in the box?

Every box contains an A5 notebook, a pen, a collector’s card from Card Collection #01, a bookmark in an original design and the edition’s object: a sleep mask in FEIGE, an hourglass in PEAR. Everything sits in an elegant insert.

Which edition suits whom?

FEIGE gives someone a moment to themselves. PEAR gives time: five minutes made visible by the hourglass. Both editions are meant for women and men alike.

Which occasions is the box for?

To celebrate, to say thank you, or simply because you thought of someone. The message suits a birthday or Christmas just as well as a perfectly ordinary Tuesday.

Can I add my own words?

The box already speaks through the collector’s card and the message on the bookmark. Your own words have their place in the notebook.

Does the box arrive ready to give?

Yes. Every piece sits in its place in the insert, so the box can be given straight away.

Orders, shipping and returns are handled by Amazon.de. You’ll find delivery times and return conditions in each listing.
