Holstee Reflection Cards are a fun way to spark meaningful conversations and deepen relationships with the people in your life.

Every deck includes 100+ thought-provoking questions centered around mindful themes like Adventure, Creativity, and Resilience. Perfect to use with friends, family, and coworkers. 

Each card has a unique, abstract design, representing the adventures, stories, and ideas that make us who we are.

 The perfect question is always on hand.

We’ve researched, brainstormed, and tested hundreds of options to arrive at the 104 questions included in the deck. The final questions were chosen based on their potential to inspire stories, emotions, and a sense of connectedness. 

Each card has two questions on it — an icebreaker to keep things light and fun, and a deeper question for digging into the good stuff.

No matter what card you pull or who you are with, you’ve always got a great question to ask.

When to use your Holstee Reflection Cards.

• With friends: Dinner parties*, road trips, picnics, brunches, camping trips — there is never a bad moment to start a meaningful conversation that will leave you feeling better connected with friends old and new. 
• With family: We used these questions with our parents and learned more about each other in two hours than we had in the past two years. Best for ages 10 and up. 
• With co-workers: A tool to help you get beyond typical water cooler talk and build relationships with your team. Great for company off-sites or as an ice-breaker before meetings. 
• With a partner: Whether you're on your 1st date or celebrating your 51st anniversary, these questions can help you discover and share new things about each other. 
• With a journal: Bring a deeper level of introspection to your next journal entry. These questions are perfect writing prompts and a wonderful way to get to know yourself better.

*If you know Holstee, you know that we love a good dinner party! For about a decade, we have held regular potlucks that have resulted in some of our most memorable conversations. Many of these questions are inspired by those dinners :-)

Beautiful, functional, and fun.

Each card has a unique, abstract design, representing the adventures, stories, and ideas that make us who we are. Together, the cards make a single, connected piece of art — a reminder that we are united in our differences.

Informed by mindfulness and positive psychology.

Covering topics such as Kinship, Gratitude, and Compassion, the cards tackle all of our Holstee Themes — informed by our research into the science of mindfulness and positive psychology. The cards are color-coded so you can guide the conversation or self-reflection however you feel.

Each deck also includes some gameplay suggestions to help you get started!

Quality & Sustainability

The cards are printed with the world's leading playing card producers, the United States Playing Card Company based in Kentucky, USA. They have been perfecting the quality of their cards since they started printing in 1867 and produce some the best quality cards in the world including Bicycle®, "Bee"®, Aviator®, and Hoyle® playing cards.

After reviewing samples from other vendors, we chose USPC for their print quality and their dedication to minimizing the environmental effects of production.

Our playing cards are crafted from sustainably-forested paper, starch-based laminating glue and vegetable-based printing inks. At the end of their long life, the cards are also recyclable.

Ecology

For us, building a great company means making decisions about design and production that we are proud to share. With this in mind, we work to make sure all of our products have that extra touch of something special. With care from how our products are made, how they are packaged, to how they interact with your everyday life, we want our goods to bring you inspiration, provoke thought and spark conversation.

Cards, Prints & Posters

We produce our prints with EM Letterpress and Aardvark Letterpress, two craft-driven letterpress printers based in North Attleboro, MA and Los Angeles, CA respectively. Both print shops have been huge supporters of Holstee since the beginning.

Our designs are printed using low VOC and non-toxic inks on bamboo and cotton papers that are both chlorine and acid-free.

Frames

In 2013, we meet the team at Urban Ashes and were inspired by their work with reclaimed wood, as well as their approach to training and working with formerly incarcerated individuals.

Our frames are handcrafted from reclaimed wood taken from deconstructed homes and buildings in the Detroit Metro Area. The frames themselves are put together in Ann Arbor, MI.

We are proud that through our work with Urban Ashes, we are able to give both the wood of these frames, and the craftsman and women who assemble them, a second chance.

Decal

Our self-adhesive Manifesto Decal is produced by Riverworks Printing in Greenland, NH. The decal is printed onto biodegradable PVC-free polyester using eco-solvent, low VOC inks. The unique adhesive we use (designed to be posted and removed up to 100 times!) is phthalate-free and won’t damage your walls.

Wallets

One of our original designs, the Upcycled Wallet is made of 100% vegan materials: upcycled newspapers and plastic bags. Using these otherwise unwanted materials provides the impoverished collectors with fair wage employment while simultaneously reducing waste in Delhi. Sent to you in 100% recycled and biodegradable packaging, no two wallets are alike!
