Goblets in the Mailbox

Just a little thing I wanted to share~ A few days ago, my company did an exercise to stir our creative “design thinking,” in which we got into pairs and interviewed each other about the last gift we gave… which ended up going deeper into our gift-giving tendencies and mindset, how these were shaped by how we grew up, what the experience feels like for us. Then we had to draw as many sketches as possible, followed by building a physical “prototype” or model, as a solution for our partner’s problem/what they’re trying to achieve. My partner’s problem that I decided to address was how—although she does genuinely love being able to give things to everyone in her life—it’s a responsibility that can stress her out. And she often feels that her gifts aren’t big/good enough? :c

As our building materials, we dug out whatever we had in the office LOL so a lot of Lego’s, paper clips, paper, forks…. So I made her a model out of Lego’s! :’D I represented her as a Lego person, standing next to a mailbox because that was the first Lego object I found that worked as a container haha. Inside the mailbox were a bunch of little golden goblets, because for some reason we had an abundance of those in our kit. And the Lego person was surrounded by a handful of more Lego people, representing her loved ones, each holding an identical little golden goblet. My solution for my partner was for her to always remember and not to undermine all of the good deeds she’s done and gifts she’s given to others throughout the year, so that she might not feel as pressured by or guilty about these big gifts she feels she owes. So yeah ^^ a reminder that those goblets you’ve given out are important and they are goblets that will stay with you if you remember to keep them in your mailbox! TLDR please appreciate yourself and how much you’ve done for others ♥
