Luna Bean Couples Hand Casting Kit
The Four-Minute Goop Clasp
A plaster molding kit where holding hands submerged inside a bucket of dental-grade alginate gel freezes your exact clasp in stone.
Why we like this gift.
Holding hands across a table is polite. Holding hands submerged inside a five-liter bucket of cold, pink, gelatinous alginate goop for four minutes without laughing or moving is an unforgettable shared experience. When you peel away the rubbery mold, you reveal an astonishingly detailed stone sculpture of your clasped fingers, right down to skin creases and rings. It is tactile, hilarious, slightly bizarre, and wonderfully romantic.

“If you don't mind getting your hand submerged in cold pink slime for four minutes, I have a very cool project.”
Before you buy.
Requires a bit of preparation: mixing powder with water, holding still for 3 to 4 minutes, and letting plaster cure before de-molding. Skin-safe and non-toxic.
