Hi dear friends!

I want to give you some gifts this holiday season as @parentsarehuman turns 5 years old 🎉 (I can’t believe we’ve been doing this for half a decade!)

It’s been our annual tradition to give away our hard work—I truly believe some moments are too precious not to share.

🎁 That’s why our Parents Are Human, Grief Is Human, and [new] Grief Is Human (Pet Edition) decks are completely Free/Pay-What-You-Can year-round: https://t.co/MnaLR6eD5L

I know the holidays can be an especially tough time. I hope our cards can help make conversations just a little easier.

🗓️ This year, we’ve created our own Advent Calendar of gifts! From December 1st to 24th, we’ll be giving away access to a different digital deck every 3 days, completely for free (after, they’ll return to $20):

Dec 1–3: Gift Deck 1️⃣
Dec 4–6: Gift Deck 2️⃣
Dec 7–9: Gift Deck 3️⃣
Dec 10–12: Gift Deck 4️⃣
Dec 13–15: Gift Deck 5️⃣
Dec 16–18: Gift Deck 6️⃣
Dec 19–21: Gift Deck 7️⃣
Dec 22–24: Gift Deck 8️⃣

(Stay tuned on our website and social media to see which deck drops when!)

We’ve poured our heart and soul into creating 6 new connection decks this year, which we’ll be giving all away:

🩵 Loving Is Human (Dating Edition) - For discovering what you want out of your love life.

💛 Children Are Human - For bonding with kids in elementary school. (Grades 2-5 | Ages 7-10+)

🧡 Preteens Are Human - For getting to know preteens in middle school. (Grades 6-8 | Ages 11-13+)

❤️ Teenagers Are Human - For connecting with teenagers in high school. (Grades 9-12 | Ages 14-17+)

💜 Grief Is Human (Pet Edition) - For the grief of losing a pet. (Includes 7+ age-appropriate cards.)

💚 Roommates Are Human - For discovering how to live well together.

We can’t wait for you to experience these! Sending you & your loved ones our warmest wishes. ❤️

Lots and lots of love,
Joseph Lam

P.S. If you buy a physical deck from us, my wonderful mom and dad continue to pack and ship every order with the utmost love and care. 🥰

Hi dear friends! I want to give you all a gift this holiday season as Parents Are Human turns 4-years-old 🎁

It’s been an annual tradition for us to give all our hard work away — I truly believe some things are too important not to share.

This year, we put our heart & soul into creating four new special card decks:

💜 Grief Is Human - A deck for navigating the complex journey of loss.
💙 Partners Are Human - A game that deepens your romantic relationship.
🩵 Siblings Are Human - A game that brings you closer to your sibling(s).
💚 Friends Are Human - A game that brings you closer to your friends.
& of course, in all 15 language editions:
❤️ Parents Are Human - A bilingual card game that brings you closer to your loved ones.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, all of our digital decks will be FREE/Pay-What-You-Can (this week only): https://t.co/j83DQfXIKi

Afterward, our Partners, Siblings, and Friends decks will return to $15. (We’ll always keep our Grief Is Human & Parents Are Human digital decks accessible.)

I know the holidays can be an especially tough time. I hope our cards can help make conversations just a little easier this year. 🫂

Sending you and all your loved ones our warmest wishes. ❤️

P.S. If you buy a physical deck from us, my beautiful mom & dad continue to pack and ship every order with the utmost love & care. 🥰

ok, so my partner runs a connection card game company and i *highly* recommend you check it out this holiday szn

at first glance seems like 'just' another card game, but go deeper and you'll uncover an extremely powerful tool for both healing and deepening relationships

Most date-night ideas lists are made for couples. As my parents get older & I've gotten closer to them, taking Mom & Dad out on regular dates has become a non-negotiable. I couldn't find a good list of parent-date ideas, so I made one! Here are my top 20 tried & tested 🧵
