Like naming a star — but smarter
Gift a Piece of
Human Wonder
Explore the beauty of the human genome. Choose a real gene to dedicate as a meaningful gift that celebrates life, identity and connection.
A symbolic dedication — a beautiful way to celebrate someone through real human biology. No one can own a gene, and that's part of the wonder.
For new parents
Gift the Bonding Gene
OXTRis the gene behind oxytocin — the hormone released the first time a parent holds their child. It's the biology of the bond itself. For a new baby, a first Mother's or Father's Day, or the parents who have everything, there's no gift that says it better.
The science of the bond
OXTR encodes the receptor for oxytocin — trust, empathy, and the connection between parent and child.
A keepsake that lasts a lifetime
A framable, archival certificate they'll hang in the nursery and keep forever.
Unlike anything else they'll receive
Everyone gives onesies and blankets. No one gives the gene for love itself.
OXTR
Oxytocin Receptor
“The bonding gene — the biology behind trust, empathy and the bond between a parent and their child.”
