First Aid for Bad Days – Because Even Your Cat Ignores You Sometimes

Let's face it: no one escapes them. Shitty days. You know them: your alarm goes off just a tad too early, your hair does whatever it wants, and your laptop spontaneously decides to schedule a three-hour update when you actually have a deadline. Even your favorite socks suddenly pinch your toes.

And yes, those are the days when you'd love to hang a big sign above your head saying: "Do not approach me, I'm temporarily out of action."

Why shitty days are actually totally okay

The good thing (well, "good") is: shitty days are part of life. No one walks around like a Zen Buddha 24/7 with a bubble tea in one hand and perfectly styled hair glistening in the wind. No way. Sometimes it just sucks. And that's okay.

But... that doesn't mean you have to struggle through it all alone. At Gekkiggeit, we've come up with a solution: theFirst Aid for Shitty Days box .

What's in that box?

Well, everything you need to make your day a little less awful. Think a tile with a happy quote, greeting cards that really cheer you up, and of course, some goodies that add that extra bit of cheer.

Because let's be honest: sometimes just putting on your pants is a victory. And that deserves a reward, right? This gift box essentially says: "Hey, you don't have to be perfect. You're already fun enough, even on your off days."

It's the ultimate comfort gift for yourself or that friend who's just been struggling through a rough week. And believe us, just unwrapping it feels like giving yourself a big hug.

Who is the box for?

• For yourself, as a reminder that you really don't have to fix anything.
• For your best friend, who always pushes herself too hard.
• For that colleague who is already on their sixth cup of coffee after three Zoom meetings.
• Or just for anyone who could use a smile.

Gerrit de Geit's survival tips

Our mascot Gerrit the Goat also has an opinion about crappy days (when isn't he, right?). His tips:

• Eat chips for breakfast. Because on a shitty day, calories don't count.
• Put on a cheerful playlist and dance as if the laundry folded itself.
• Remind yourself that even Beyoncé probably has a shitty day sometimes.

In short: putting things into perspective and nibbling on things works better than staring grumpily at your screen.
