What You Loved (vs What We Thought You’d Love)

What You Loved (vs What We Thought You’d Love)

One of the unexpected joys of running KITI is seeing what actually makes your heart skip a beat. We spend hours choosing every piece, imagining how it might be gifted, styled, or tucked into your daily life. But the truth? Sometimes you surprise us-and we love that!

Here’s a little peek behind the scenes at what flew off the shelves… and what we thought would, but didn’t (at least not yet).

You loved the rings. All of them. Fish-shaped, architectural columns, playful stacks — you tried them all on, mixed and matched, and took them home in twos and threes. You also loved the mini shell hair clips-a quiet little accessory we weren’t sure anyone would notice. You noticed. And the incense bar! Turns out, you're as into slow rituals and soft scents as we are.

We thought you’d love the coasters — beautiful stone, minimal shapes, very KITI. But maybe you're not in your hosting era right now? We also expected more love for the simple stone necklaces — timeless, subtle…and a few colors are still waiting for their moment. And greeting cards-we thought you’d love having one handy to complete your gift. But most of you seem to prefer letting the gift speak for itself.

This is all part of the fun. We learn something with every visit, every conversation, every time you pick up an object and light up. Thanks for showing us what speaks to you. And keep surprising us!
