Mystery Boxes
As we started making a store online, it was a hard choice deciding what items in our store would be in the initial product line. Everything here is just so random, we were concerned that we wouldn’t be able to show off the true nature of our store to our friends abroad…. yeah whatever, don’t listen to this. We can do that in a heartbeat. The first product we created was sort of a ‘Hi, how are ya, this is what we are.’ and it came in the form of our Mystery Boxes. There are three different sizes to choose from ( Small $14.99, Medium $34.99 & Large $54.99) and we basically pack them full of some of the funnest, oddest items we have in the store. Some who have been in the store have asked us to pack Mystery Boxes as gifts for friends, which is always fun. Every time we pack one of these, we sort of go on a treasure hunt of the store and fill it with as many project ideas and curiosities as we can. The only thing that you can expect to be the same each time we pack one of these fine assemblies is pure randomness, and surprise.

YesterdayI got the great opportunity to bring the Reprap 3d printer down and show the kids its abilities during a program called Make It.
