Christmas gift idea

A Christmas gift that opens at another Christmas

At Christmas, we give things to be unwrapped straight away. The paper is torn in seconds, and by January nobody quite remembers who gave what.

Astria does the opposite. It is a 20 cm Guardian that keeps a message — written, recorded or filmed — and only reveals it on the date you have chosen. Christmas Eve five years from now, say, when the family is gathered again and everyone has changed a little.

Pre-order Astria — €59 See how it works

A family seen from behind sitting on a rug before a tall lit Christmas tree: the mother strokes her daughter's hair, the little boy reaches toward a golden bauble, a fire burns in the fireplace

For Christmas

24 December, five years later

The message

“This year you absolutely wanted to open your presents before midnight. This one, you had to wait five years for. So listen carefully, because that evening, around the table, there was…”

Why give it at Christmas

A gift in two stages

It is given once at Christmas, and revealed a second time, years later, at the moment you set.

An appointment for the whole family

Everyone can add their voice to the message. On opening day, today's table speaks to tomorrow's.

One Guardian, one message

Each Guardian carries a unique code: the message it keeps only opens with it, for the people you give it to.

What you might seal on Christmas Eve

A few possible openings — yours will be better, because it will be yours.

The story of this Christmas: who was there, what you ate, what made everyone laugh.
Everyone's prediction of what the family will look like in five years.
A message from a grandparent, to hear again at a Christmas they may miss.
A child's letter to Father Christmas, to give back the day they stop believing.
