Just when we had given up on finding the perfect gift for uncle Bill and cousin Julie, who we never know what to give on Christmas day, BIMM came bursting through Stimulant‘s doors with a solution to save the day.

Earlier this week, a young man, curiously dressed in steampunk attire, hand-delivered (as instructed) a mysterious white box. He strategically propped it in front of our publisher Mary Maddever, with the suggestion to fix her hair before opening (which she did). We half expected furry creatures (kittens!) to jump out at us, but luckily — for the sake of productivity levels — it was not. What we did find inside, however, was the next best thing: delicious (non-edible) treats, such as unicorn meat and an inflatable turkey.

They’re the kinds of things one would find if they were to explore the direct and digital agency’s Giftalyzer site, which now comes in a 2.0 version, with bigger and better (not to mention weird) gifts for the hard-to-buy-for people in your life. The shop also added a real-time feature to the original site, so you can see what’s hot in stores right now.

The confusion-cum-excitement of the unboxing was captured on camera, too, hence the hint for Mary to correct her bangs. The folks at BIMM took the reverse POV footage of our reactions and sliced it up into a neat little video below. If there’s anything that gets Stim folk excited, it’s big surprise boxes, as you can tell from the incessant picture-taking.
