About
Our Story
Besties was created to help kids stay emotionally connected with the people they love — even when they’re apart.
We noticed that for many children, especially younger kids or kids who feel pressure around talking, traditional communication tools can feel overwhelming. Choosing who to message, navigating screens, or finding the right words isn’t always easy.
Besties is different.
It’s a connected figurine designed around simplicity, familiarity, and emotional safety — so reaching out feels natural, not stressful.
Why a Figurine?
Kids form strong emotional bonds with objects that feel personal and familiar. By representing a real person — like a parent, grandparent, or caregiver — Besties turns communication into something tangible and comforting.
A gentle Heartbeat can say “I’m thinking of you” without words.
A voice message can be played when a child feels ready — no pressure to respond right away.
Designed for Families
Besties is designed with families in mind:
- One-to-one connections
- Adult-managed setup and permissions
- No games, feeds, or scrolling
- No pressure to speak
Our goal isn’t more screen time — it’s more meaningful connection.
