The Story

Written and designed by THALKEN’s owners and creators, Hana and William, these cards offer a fun way to spark conversation, create connection, and deepen your relationships, whether old or new. Pull a card, ask the question, and let the conversation flow.

Since its release last year, Thalken Heart Questions: Volume 1 has found its way into over 500 homes, cafés, and hearts around the country—and the response has been soul-filling. 🥹

“As many in our community know, asking meaningful, heartfelt questions is our favorite thing to do. They connect us, move us forward, and create love, energy, and all the beautiful things that make us feel more human. Now, we’re on a mission to share these questions with the world.” - Hana & William

How to Play

Each deck includes 54 question cards, with one question per card. Every card is labeled with one to four hearts—the more hearts, the deeper the question. Pull a card, ask the question, and let the conversation flow. The deck can be used with people of all ages and relationship types. It’s also a great tool for self-reflection or as a writing prompt.

How Our Conversation Deck Stands Out

Designed to Be Seen
With muted colors, a playful heart design, and luxurious gold-gilded edges, they were designed to complement the most beautiful hotel lounges, charming coffee shops with exposed brick, and homes filled with plants, warm white walls, and cozy corners — on tabletops of all kinds, eagerly waiting for Thalken Heart Questions to complete them.

Only Good Vibes Inside
Every question was written with a clear intention: to inspire curiosity, connection, and positivity. Our prompts are thoughtful, heartfelt, and never harsh. You won’t find any “landmine” questions here — no negativity, emotional traps, or awkward “gotcha” moments. In fact, each shrink-wrapped deck comes with a sticker that says, “Only good vibes inside.”

Perfectly Portable
Our deck is the standard size of a traditional card deck, making it easy to slip into a bag, purse, or even a pocket. Many other decks are bulky and not designed with travel in mind — ours is perfect for bringing to a coffee shop or a spontaneous hangout.

Become a Part of the Vision

Our vision is to place and sell Thalken Heart Questions in curated spaces in every state in the U.S.—whether it’s an intimate boutique hotel lounge, a charming local coffee shop, or a thoughtfully curated bookstore. We aren’t looking for just any space—we’re looking for those special, soul-filling places that embody what we call Thalken energy—places that value connection, growth, and making people feel truly seen. It would be an honor for our deck to become part of these magical, warmly welcoming spaces.

If a place comes to mind that fits this vibe, we’d love to hear from you. You can DM us on Instagram at @thalkenmercantile, email us at Thalkenmercantile@gmail.com, or even tell them directly that you’d love to see this deck on their shelves.

We’re so grateful for your support. This mission is personal. We believe these questions can build bridges, spark healing, and connect people in ways that matter. With your help, we can get them into more hands and more hearts across the country.
