Mix Box

Mix Box is a tool to create really personal, fun experiences, and activities in the city and package them as a gift for friends or family. It combines the metaphors of a Mix-tape and a Shoe Box to curate and collect memories and experiences.

Mix Box guides you through the creation of the gift step-by-step by providing ideas for activities your friend might like. Inspiration is collected from various social media data, for example a music concert of a particular band that both you and your friend enjoy, or a favorite cup cake shop you both love. You can add personal audio messages and instructions to accompany each activity.

Your friend will receive Mix Box on the scheduled day and will take up the activities you have crafted, while documenting her experience with each step. The photographs taken during each activity are transformed into a printed memento for both.
