The Sunshine Labs - Mystery Boxes | Meet the Maker

The Sunshine Labs Box for Women. Specify the person and occasion to personalise the box. The above box was created for a special sister.

This is part of uOpen’s ‘Meet The Maker’ interview series - your exclusive opportunity to get to know the real people and personalities behind the subscription boxes you know and love, and the ones you will soon come to!

If you're looking for a unique gift or a feel-good delivery in the post, then The Sunshine Labs offer a truly unique experience. Each box is lovingly created with an assortment of mystery handpicked gifts, each beautifully gift-wrapped and presented in a colourful hand-decorated gift box.

We spoke with Dara and Raja to find out more about the business and how it all got started :

The Sunshine Labs Mystery Box for Men. The perfect gift for Dads on Fathers day or a special birthday.

What sparked your decision to start up your box and how did you get started?
One magical Christmas I received a gift from my boyfriend. It was a large box. When I opened it I saw a whole bunch of different gifts inside, each wrapped nicely in a pretty paper and each with a handwritten note inside. I thought then "I wish everybody was lucky enough to receive a surprise like this at least once".

So, I decided to make my wish come true. I started creating boxes full of beautiful surprises. I took this idea one step further though. Instead of opening everything at once, I applied one rule to my boxes. And the rule is: YOU CAN OPEN ONLY ONE GIFT A DAY :-) That's how we came up with a concept of the boxes with 7 gifts for 7 days of the week.
