A lockable aluminium box that is programmed to open at a specific time, Timeless Box is a new, memorable way of giving a gifts.

Developed by Ignasi Giró, founder of Honest & Smile, the beautifully simple box is intended to be used for special gifts (boxes can be preordered for £63). Users put an object inside the box, set the number of days until it can be opened, then close and lock the box and give it to a loved one.

Potentially, recipients could wait years for their Timeless Box to open, injecting a sense of hyper-excitement into proceedings. Going against a culture of instant gratification – something we’re all guilty of – Timeless Box is currently raising funds on Indiegogo. If you can’t justify buying the box, check out the virtual timeless box.
