Until We Can Hug Again In 2021...

In reflecting on the past 12 months, my team and I have been overwhelmed by messages of how our customers have been using Caribu during such a difficult year to create moments of joy: to meet the grandkids for the first time, supplement “Zoom School”, have extended family virtually babysit the kids, discuss racial justice, and connect kids with their friends. 

After the millions of Caribu Calls made in 2020, even though we are still not out of the woods, there's a feeling of rebirth in the air as we embark on a new year. And as we wait to safely give and receive multigenerational hugs, and have playdates with family and friends again, we wanted to make sure everyone had ways to cope with the *hopefully* last and final months of separation.

This past year, being socially isolated has been extremely difficult for everyone, but most especially for kids and seniors. While we can’t wait to find ways to spend time together as multigenerational families in 2021, take the second-best option and schedule a Caribu Call with a loved one today. According to a study from Boston College, “an emotionally close relationship between grandparent and grandchild is associated with fewer symptoms of depression for both generations.” We’ve helped families spend quality time together in virtual playdates over the past year and are honored to keep them connected, no matter the distance, for years to come.

This past year we grew exponentially, and across the globe, because our customers emphatically shared videos and images of their Magical Caribu Calls with everyone they knew. We know there’s still a lot of families that don’t know that Caribu can keep their family connected in a more fun and engaging way so we’re asking for your help to spread the love.

If you love using Caribu, or just love what we do, here's a discount code to share that love with your friends and family. Send them to the Caribu Gift Shop and use CARIBU2021 to get $21 off a Yearly Gift Subscription that they can use with their family. 

There’s no catch, we just want to put a smile on a child’s face and make a grandparent’s day a little brighter. 

Share it with anyone you think could benefit from having Caribu in their lives to stay better connected with loved ones when they can’t be physically together.

With gratitude,

Max
