I was the creative co-founder of The Mysterious Package Company (mysteriouspackage.com) and we - gasp - sold mysterious packages. It was a wild idea pitched by my cofounder, to which I was a hesitant buy-in, but the impact we had on people is astonishing.
Rich stories, physical things (letters, puzzles, hair..), and a customized elements are still extremely rare to find in a product offer.
I'm no longer involved (and I didn't get rich), but I'm still proud of the experiences we created for the human bonding that occurred after delivery.
To this day there are people who come up to me saying "You!! I couldn't sleep for a week!" or "You!! My father and I went over your aged documents with a fine tooth comb and they were _REAL_." I'm so proud to have given these people a moment of awe and wonder.
