    alright guys, i've been wondering and thinking about this for some time now.

    what are your favourite goodies that come with a new dama?
    stickers, badges, stringin tools, small wood goodies like terra got?
    also what are some things you would love to see in future?

    let me know what it is, i'm curious.

    Stickers for sure. But I am a fan of the little Terra wood logo that I got with an old purchase before, still have it. I think more of those wood logos would be cool

    Stickers with rad art. I've gotten really cool ones from Deal With It and from buying stuff from Mash. Terra also held it down and I've gotten the dice and wood logo.
    A personal favorite was from purchasing my Craft Slim at MKO this year. It came with a sticker of the craft logo on a single layer of wood. SO legit.

    Towels! Got a couple from some JKA contests, and the MKO as well. Being a more expensive item, its rare to find them as a true 'giveaway' though.

    The Terra keychains and dice were always a favourite of a lot of people. I've been thinking about a round 2 of the dice, they were very popular!
    Bonus points to anyone who can post a photo of a REALLY old terra wood keychain. We made a bunch that were just random offcuts with stuff drawn on them when we first started, the ones cut into the logo shape came later.

    More recently, we threw in some simple Terra phone-clip fisheye lenses for larger orders. The supply of them was pretty limited, but I thought it was a pretty legit 'extra' to include!


    One of the euro sites used to include patches in orders... I think it was kendama.de. I always thought those were cool, though I have never actually sewn them onto something. I have a small stack of them hidden away somewhere.

    And of course stickers are always the best!

    @OEZ we try to keep it as rad as possible! haha
    Since Terra's aim is to produce higher-end products, I feel like we have more room to offer cool extras. In comparison to a company that sells China-made damas for as cheap as possible, for them it would be more of an 'every penny counts' sorta situation.

    For example: these days its actually pretty much the norm, but back in the day I think Terra was the first company to offer drawstring carrying bags with all of our kendamas. The first few batches of handturned damas were all packaged in carrying bags that were sewn together by either my mom, or Kristin (many of them are 'one-of-a-kind'). Obviously bags are great for storage and protection, so no surprise it caught on widely!

    I have some of the kendaminkas from Mirek! I know he had them up for sale, but I think he just threw them in with an order I placed for a 3D printed dama and some of his dama cushions, a few years back. Mirek always has rad stuff going on, his shop is awesome.

    Couple pics I snagged off insta quick, here's one of the fisheye lenses from @dandy_bsd:
    (EDIT: you can also see a Terra leaf keychain here, and an all-over print pill bag. Offer for anyone placing an order with Terra for the next little while: leave an order note asking for one of these pill bags, and I'll throw it in free for you!)

    And here is a phone case that Junya customized using some Pill stickers (@junya_shonankendamateam).
    Not really an 'extra goodie', but really cool nonethless! I've seen a couple brands make actual phone cases, but I don't think they've ever sold them publicly

    Love the stickers. But the bags and little fishing line string things come in handy very often!

    I love the little tidbits that come with Kendamas. I haven’t gotten anything super crazy or fancy outside of stickers, strings, bags oh and a pin from Sol which was cool and cards, etc. I think it would be cool to have a place to trade stickers. I love those guys (totally had a studio cider collection as a kid lol). It’s nice to have these extras, makes everything unique and adds to the experience for sure. Also, since the goal is to ‘destroy all damas’ ha ha, it’s nice to have the tokens.

    The wood grain and the (for lack of better word) black textured Craft stickers are sick. Still havent used them, wanna put them on something special.
    Love the Sol stickers too, especially the logo ones (little sun stickers).
    Pins. Sol and Homegrown especially.
    If a dama bag is included (again, Sol and Craft ftw) that’s always a plus. Might have about as many bags as I do for close to all of my current dama collection.
    Strings and bearings especially.

    Sweets had air fresheners for a while. It stayed in my car long past when it dried up.

    Kendama bags for the WIN!
    I love the bags that come with older slaydawgs, they just feel so great.
    Also KUSA's craft bags are amazing.
    I always keep my bag, and have gotten a decent collection of bags from Kroms to GTs
