The Curiosity Project...time to get involved!

Have been searching for a bit of a crafty pick me up as am off work feeling rather under the weather and down in the dumps.  I can usually relax and waste an hour or two (or more!) on Pinterest but today I felt like trying to find something I could involve myself in a little more.  So, whilst reading one of my favourite blogs by  Little A Designs I stumbled across this fabulous idea....


Thought up by wedding planner and stylist Tiffany Grant-Riley, The Curiosity Project is a way for people to communicate in a new and exciting way...
"Remembering the chain letters she used to receive and pass on as a child, she got to thinking of a way to bring people together, to reignite the excitement of receiving something in the mail, something from a complete stranger delivered on foot by the postman. Simple, old fashioned, back-to-basics communication. Thus, The Curiosity Project was born." 


The box I'm sending out this time. From Little A Designs


The idea is that you put together a box of goodies for a secret recipient.  The idea is to be creative and thoughtful with your gifts.  From what I've seen of the boxes that people have made a lot of people often make things to put in their curiosity boxes which is such a lovely idea.  There is a budget of up to £20 and the more creative the whole thing is the better!  I completely fell for this idea as soon as I saw it as I'm such a fan of old fashioned snail mail and the excitement that a surprise parcel brings is unbeatable!


You have to sign up to take part and I'm not sure when the next Curiosity Box project is running so I'm now following them on Facebook so I can get involved as soon as I hear about it!  Have a looky at the Curiosity Projects website as the range of boxes that people have made are amazing...

  1. I so love the sound of that. Isn't it wonderful getting parcels in the post anyway and to have no idea what they will contain could be such fun. I may blog about this with a link to your site if that is ok with you. xx

Have contacted The Curiosity Project, they said there won't be another Curiosity Box Project for a bit but there will be another mystery project coming up soon, I'm intrigued so will share the details as soon as I find out!! x
