It's one thing to give someone a gift like a lamp or a clock, but the 'Packajing' series is a new lineup of products that offers users the ability to make their own gift using folded paper and other included components.

The 'Packajing' series of products consists of [a lamp, a clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodi) and a picture frame that can all be created by using the various supplies that are offered in the kit. This arrives to the recipient in [flatpack form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-collection-1), ready to be folded and created whenever they want.
