The gift is to be a magnet.
Why?
The gift is designed to uplift the receivers each time they see it. A magnet seems more likely to be put in a location where it is seen often rather than put in a drawer somewhere.
It should have practical use.
As mentioned above, it should be uplifting
Additionally, it should be beautiful - enhancing the aesthetic of whatever room it is in
And it should be functional - useable for the things for which magnets may be used.
The gift should be small in size
The gift should be relatively financially inexpensive
With everything included (features, packaging, tax, shipping, etc), I think we can go all out and still keep the price under $50. I’d like to enable those who don’t have lots of money to give it.
No one does it, so it will be unique.
Ok, so maybe someone somewhere makes extremely high quality magnets, but if so they’re uncommon... I’ve never seen one.
Because no one does it, we can craft something world-class.
Because there isn’t much of a high-end magnet category, there isn’t much competition in the high-end magnet category. We should be able to craft a world-class magnet and have it available for less than $50. There aren’t too many world-class anythings that are available for that price.
We can hopefully automate and scale the process
Part of the goal is quality and consistency at scale.
Personalization
I like the idea of putting each person’s name on it. In this case, not only would the receiver receive a beautiful, uplifting magnet - but they would receive a beautiful, uplifting magnet that was manufactured specifically for them.
