A Birthday Surprise to Remember Custom Bracelets and Friendship at Bathala
Today at Bathala, we had the absolute joy of celebrating Joao’s birthday and it was one of those moments that perfectly captures the magic of friendship, thoughtful gifting, and community.

Joao’s friends stopped by our store to surprise him with a brand-new bracelet, turning an ordinary day into a truly memorable celebration. Birthdays are always special at Bathala, and we love being part of moments that are filled with laughter, surprises, and genuine connection. As part of our little Bathala tradition, anyone celebrating a birthday and showing their ID receives a birthday discount, so Joao got an extra treat to make his day even sweeter.
Watching his friends plan and execute the surprise was both hilarious and heartwarming. They are all students, and Joao couldn’t help himself, he kept pointing toward the black lava stone bracelet, clearly dropping hints about what he wanted. Seeing his face light up when his friends finally gifted him the bracelet was priceless. It was a moment full of excitement, gratitude, and joy. One that will surely be remembered long after the birthday candles are blown out.
The lava stone bracelet, known for its grounding and calming energy, made the gift even more meaningful. It wasn’t just a piece of handcrafted jewelry, it was a symbol of friendship, shared memories, and the care his friends put into choosing something just for him. Moments like this remind us that the best gifts aren’t about price, but about intention, love, and connection.
We’re so grateful we could be part of Joao’s birthday celebration and help his friends create such a meaningful surprise. Experiences like these are what make Bathala more than just a local shop. They make it a place where friendships are celebrated, milestones are honoured, and memories are made.
Bathala, where friendships and surprises spark magic.
