Sometimes, you’ve just got to stop and smell the roses. And sometimes, you might need a friendly nudge to do it. Now, thanks to a Vancouver, British Columbia-based design company, this reminder to slow down can fit into the palm of your hand. Called the Thinking Egg, this palm-sized egg is designed to help those who carry it better get in touch with their thoughts, ideas, and reflections amid the hustle and bustle of the 9-to-5 work day and life’s other responsibilities.
Available in three different materials — brass, pine, and howlite — each type of Thinking Egg comes with a different purpose. Pine is designed to facilitate concentration, brass to revitalize the mind and body, and howlite to provide a calming effect while reducing stress and anxiety. More materials could be coming in the future.
It’s OK to wear your job and at-home responsibilities like a badge of honor. But sometimes, we all need to just stop, slow down, and enjoy the finer things in life. That’s where the Thinking Egg comes in — and it’s coming soon, thanks to raising nearly $90,000 versus a goal of just $7,793 on Kickstarter. It’s estimated for delivery in October 2018.
