The Best Gift You Could Give


Alright I’m sorry guys but this isn’t technology related at all, it’s just so funny I had to share it.

Granted, someone will need to die before you can purchase this gift, however if you’re willing to wait than you too could brighten someone’s day with this pencil box full of pencils made out of human carbon. You also get the deceased’s name printed on the side of each pencil as you can see from the screenshot.

This is the brainchild of Nadine Jarvis who likes to create death inspired design work, or ‘work in post mortem’ if you prefer.

That’s not all though, you don’t just use these pencils until their gone, the box is designed so just one pencil can be removed at a time and are sharpened back into the box so it becomes an urn for the remains.

If you would like to be useful even after dying than perhaps this is the way to go.

    Why wait for someone to die? Kill them yourself or wander down to the local morgue and ask about unclaimed bodies!

    Anyway, pencils are for people who make lack confidence in what they do. Since I never make any mistakes, I use ink. :)

    Decadence.
    One of the first proof of civilization discovered by archeologist was burial and respect of defuncts.
    One day, our wonderfull “civilization” will make toilet paper out of human skin and make you beleive this is the nicest possible post-mortem gift.
    Truth is, when society reach this bottom, you better be dead than alive.
