Your memories, not stock ones
Every Illumina Orb ships empty on purpose. You choose the photos and videos you keep coming back to: the first steps, the wedding toast, the grandparents singing. That is what makes it a gift rather than a gadget.

What Illumina Orbs is
One keepsake that plays your photos, videos and voices.
Illumina Orbs is a single-product Christmas store built around one idea: the best decoration on the tree should be a memory. The Illumina Orb is a glowing orb with a built-in round screen, a speaker and a warm backlight. It holds around 220 photos or 10 minutes of video, and you can change what it plays as often as you like.
It is the kind of thing that gets unwrapped, set up at the kitchen table, and hung on the tree before the wrapping paper is cleared away. Orders ship tracked and free worldwide, usually within 48 hours, and every purchase is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Payment is handled by Stripe and PayPal, so your card details never touch our servers.
The moment it is made for
Lights down, tree on, and a thirty-second clip of someone you love, with their voice, on a loop.
Built for the tree, made for the mantel
A weighted orb with a round LCD inside K9 crystal glass, a warm backlight and a built-in speaker. A braided loop for the branch, a flat base for the shelf. White or black.
From your phone in minutes
Add memories through the companion app, change them whenever you want, and use the control wheel to switch between them and adjust the volume. No complicated setup.
Give them a memory they can replay

Quick questions
Christmas Eve, 9:40 pm
The tree is lit. The Orb is not.
It hangs like any other ornament: a crystal-glass sphere with a soft matte shell, a little heavier than a bauble. Nobody in the room notices it yet, which is exactly the point.
01 / 03
One turn of the wheel
A clip from last summer starts to play. With sound.
Grandma laughing at the beach, and you can hear her. Thirty seconds, on a loop, wrapped in warm light. The conversation stops. Someone reaches for their phone to film the Orb, then puts it down and just watches.
02 / 03
Every year after
It becomes the first ornament on the tree.
Swap the memories whenever you like from the app: a new grandchild, a wedding, a dog that grew up. The Illumina Orb outlives the batteries in every other gift and becomes a small family archive.
03 / 03
Watch it play
Real footage of the Orb. Sound plays from the built-in speaker.
See it in seconds
It is not another frame. It is the moment itself.
Watch the video. Hear the laugh. Replay the wedding toast. Keep the first steps, the family trip, the people you love and the memories you never want to lose.
The Illumina Orb turns your camera roll into a physical keepsake you can pick up, display and give. A round LCD screen sits inside K9 crystal glass, a built-in speaker carries the sound, and a warm backlight makes it glow on the tree or the mantel.
We sell exactly one product because we would rather make one thing people keep for twenty years than ten things they forget by February.

Christmases it should last
A photo is beautiful.
A memory that moves and speaks hits differently.
Some memories do not belong hidden behind 17,000 photos in your phone.
The laugh you forgot you recorded. The wedding toast. Your baby's first steps. Your parents when they were younger. The voice you wish you could hear one more time.
The Illumina Orb gives those moments a place in the room again.

What customers need to know
Small details. No surprises.
Rechargeable
Charge with USB-C and enjoy approximately 2 to 4 hours of continuous playback. Leave the cable plugged in behind the tree for all-evening play.
Change it any time
Update the photos and videos whenever you want through the companion app. One Orb can hold many chapters.
Sound included
A built-in speaker with volume control lets video memories keep their voices, laughter and little details.
Cool to the touch
The backlight is low-power LED. The K9 crystal glass and ABS shell stay at room temperature, so it is safe against needles, ribbon and paper decorations.
Gift guide
The gift already means something before they open the box.
For Mom & Dad
The video they thought everyone forgot. Family holidays, old home videos, weddings and everything in between.
For your partner
Your story, in one place. Trips, anniversaries, the first date and all the small moments after it.
For grandparents
Keep the whole family close. Grandkids, birthdays and voices they can replay whenever they want.
For new parents
Because the first year moves too fast. First smiles, first steps and the tiny moments your camera caught.
