Conversation Starter in focus: Awkward Harmonica
Conversation starter you say? Ever wanted to start a conversation with someone, but not sure where to start? Our conversation starters take the hard work out of it! All Awesome Gear is designed to make it that little bit easier to start a conversation with a smile, a high five, or even to leap past those social barriers with a random hug!
The Awkward who's-a-what? Super eloquent but occasionally have awkward moments? Awkward Harmonica to the rescue! A small little 'phweee' and the day could be saved...
The Awkward Harmonica grew out of many personal awkward moments for the Awesome Team. Our eagerness to connect caused many a slip-of-the-tongue remark that resulted in awkward silence. After we started carrying our Awkward Harmonica around, we found that a quick toot could divert attention and save the moment. We wanted to share this amazing tool and conversation starter; and thus the Awkward Harmonica has been included as part of our Awesome Gear range!
Make someone's day - send them a High Five!
Well you're in luck! We've recently launched our easy as conversation starter tool High Fives!
Log onto your profile to check it out today!
When browsing someone's profile, choose a conversation starter (top right) and click 'Send High Five!'. Just like that, you've made someone's day; and a new friend. Up high!
