bongs.design Featured in Itchy Feet Video | Phnom Penh Gifts and Studio Story

Announcement

We’re thrilled to share that bongs.design was featured in an Itchy Feet YouTube video after we sent a small package from Phnom Penh. Seeing our work appear alongside Itchy Feet’s warm, curious storytelling felt like a real moment of connection—so we wanted to tell the story here and share the video link.

How it happened

We’ve been fans of Itchy Feet for a long time. The channel’s thoughtful, playful way of capturing Phnom Penh and the surrounding places inspired us every time we watched. To say thanks, we put together a little package of custom pieces from our studio and sent it off with a short note.

What we sent

Custom 3D‑printed Cambodia lithograph — a small piece celebrating his image and instagram photo inside the Cambodia map.
Independence Monument model — a miniature tribute to the city that inspired the gift.
2026 Khmer inspired cat & dog calendar — a playful, locally designed calendar celebrating Khmer motifs and pets. Spoiler Alert: Ryan = 🐶 Dog Person, Case Closed

These items represent the kinds of custom work we love to make: locally rooted, thoughtfully crafted, and made to spark a smile.

We enclosed this letter with the package:

Why this matters to us
Being a small, Phnom Penh–based design studio means every connection counts. When creators like Itchy Feet highlight the city with curiosity and care, it helps local makers and stories reach new audiences. Sending a small gift felt like a natural way to say thanks—and seeing it featured on the channel was a reminder that thoughtful gestures can travel far.
