Our personalised coordinate bracelets have been our best seller by far in our first year as Life Less Ordinary. So popular, in fact, that we decided it was time to add to our coordinate bracelet collection! Let us introduce you to our all new design, the compass coordinate bracelet.

The symbol of the compass has held meaning for people throughout history. While the symbol is popular among travelers, adventurers and free spirits, it’s also the perfect symbol to gift to someone you love.

Let’s explore some of the meanings behind the symbol and why we chose it for our newest custom coordinate bracelet design:

Guidance - A compass will always point north. For explorers, the compass provides a sense of safety as they know they can rely on it to always point them in the right direction, no matter where their adventure takes them. It is like the North Star, celebrated throughout history as a symbol of guidance.

Travel –The word compass comes from the Latin com meaning together and passus meaning step or pace. It is literally a word that means to travel together! For some, that means literally exploring the globe, and for some that means exploring this amazing adventure that is life.

Safety and Protection – Because of it’s ability to guide and stop people from losing their way, the compass has long been a symbol of safety and protection.

Motivation and Inspiration – A compass helps a person to choose their path and follow it, symbolising motivation and inspiration. Throughout history, north has symbolized progress and advancement (whereas south symbolizes things going wrong, hence the saying that something has ‘gone South’!)

When to give a compass coordinate bracelet

The compass is a symbol with such positive connotations and meaning, there are so many good times to gift someone a compass coordinate bracelet.

A Graduation Gift - Let someone know their life is moving in the right direction, and that they will always be able to find their way home.

A Second Wedding Anniversary Gift - The bands of our compass coordinate bracelet are made from waxed cotton, and guess what the traditional gift for the second wedding anniversary is? You got it, cotton!

A Long Distance Gift - Have a partner or BFF that lives far away and you can’t be with right now? Send them a compass coordinate bracelet to remind them that you will find your way back to each other.

A Wedding Gift - Give your new husband or wife a gift to show them how excited you are to ‘step together’ on this crazy adventure that is life. Or maybe you are giving a gift to the newlywed couple? Give them personalised compass coordinate bracelets symbolising their new journey together.
