About Minimo Sanduku la Zawadi
Minimo ni mkusanyiko wa vito vya watoto wa Smaragd 1969, ambapo sanduku la zawadi na uzoefu kamili wa utoaji zawadi umeundwa na Why Agency. Dhana hii iliundwa kuzunguka zawadi ya kwanza ya thamani ya mtoto, ikibadilisha wakati wa kupokea vito kuwa uzoefu wa kucheza na wa kukumbukwa. Mbali na vipande vya vito, sanduku hili linajumuisha pakiti ya stika zenye michoro kutoka mkusanyiko wa dhahabu, kitabu cha kupaka rangi, penseli za rangi mbalimbali, na Pasipoti ya Mtoto ya Minimo kwa wateja wa mara ya kwanza. Kila kipengele kinawahamasisha watoto kuchunguza, kubuni, na kuunganika na mkusanyiko huu zaidi ya vito vyenyewe.

- Sketched and Produced in Adobe Illustrator. Print execution done by hand.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part was what the theme of the gift box was gonna be.
In the end, we opted for making the box design to have motifs inspired by the jewelry which is included in the boxes themselves.
The second hardest part was creating an unique blueprint for the box, which was largely assisted by the production facility. - Research
- The research was mostly done online with some physical inspiration from vintage advent boxes found on flea markets.
- Inspiration
- The gift box takes inspiration from vintage children's gift boxes, incorporating a classic dual compartment structure that has the main gift and the complimentary merchandise. The main piece is usually jewelry, and the secondary pieces are usually coloring books and pencils, accompanied by a sticker sheet.
- Project Duration
- The project was initiated in the beginning of 2025, and an initial prototype was released in limited quantities. The final presented version was produced in the summer of 2025, and released in July of 2025. Production was primarily in Why Agency offices, while execution was done by AJ-Graf Matbaa in Skopje. The product was available for sale online and physically in the Smaragd stores in Skopje.
- Operation Flow
- The front part is opened, which contains two compartments, one with a piece of jewelry, and one with special merchandise.
