Totem Tuesday: December 3rd, 2024
Hey there friend 🫶
Welcome to the 53rd chapter
of the story we've been writing together.
It's a story set in the here and now—
with a little whimsy,
a lot of heart,
and just enough magic
to keep us on our toes.
We take a breath, look around, and settle into
🎉 TOTEM TUESDAY 🎉
(let's see where today's story takes us, shall we?)
Before we begin...
Welcome to our latest investor, Mick!
We are excited and grateful to have you on the team. 🥳
Alright Tribe—let’s Vibe.
During Rollout, we are keeping things focused and simple here on Totem Tuesday.
This week, we'll start with Rollout Updates and an open call for press and product reviewers!
Then we'll get into the main course...
1)
⬇️ Rollout Update ⬇️
Rollout is jiving and thriving! Here's all the latest.
1,000+ Totems left our warehouse last week, bound for customer mailboxes around the world... and the excitement is pouring in as people receive them. 🥳
(Remember—when you get yours, share it on your Instagram story and tag us! We will repost every single one.)
And guess what? The next shipment of Totems has already landed here in the States! Looks like it will arrive to Totem HQ sometime tomorrow.
That shipment will undergo Quality Control from our team and is expected to ship out to customers sometime early next week if all goes smoothly.
Looking forward, we will be receiving new shipments every week over the next month—and the shipments are only increasing in size as we go. Things are about to pick up speed! 😍
As a loving reminder, the Shipping Queue is prioritized by chronological order. The people who have already received their Totems were the first people who placed a pre-order. For specific timeline updates for YOUR order, look for the weekly Order Update email we send out every Friday.
The last pre-orders in the Queue will ship out by early January—possibly sooner. New orders (aka non-pre-orders) will then begin shipping out immediately afterward in January.

📣 Product Reviewer Open Call 📣
Now that we're shipping to customers worldwide, we've begun receiving stellar feedback from Tribemates, many of whom have already shared their epic lore with us (even in the off-season!) 🙌
Our first product review went live earlier this week, from father of 3 Scott Anderson (aka I'm Bored. North East) who had a fantastic experience using the Totems with his entire family. Check it out!
That said, many of you have been waiting for the Totem Compass to be showcased by trusted tech experts and experienced product reviewers: folks who will provide unbiased impressions of their experience.
We'd like to take this opportunity to open the floor for experienced product reviewers among the Totem Tribe!
Is this you?
Send a request to press@totemlabs.com to get started!
We can't wait to get them in your hands. ✨

...
OK! That's all the news for this week.
This work isn’t just about building a product—
it’s about bringing people together.
It’s rooted in our core value of Unity:
our belief that humanity shines brightest
when we stand together.
Because a movement this big, this meaningful,
doesn’t happen in isolation.
It happens when we work as allies, as a team,
and when we show up for each other.
So here’s to another week of
connection, kindness, and showing up
for each other and for ourselves.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Until next time,
take care of yourself—
and each other.
✌️ + 🩷
The Totem Team
(P.S. — if this is your first Totem Tuesday, we hiiighly recommend that you go back and check out all the past Totem Tuesdays on our website. Every single decision we’ve made with the product is detailed extensively in past editions. Have fun 😘)
