Good Afternoon everybody.
Very soon we will be launching a brand new online charity shop which we will be very excited to share with you. We’d love it if you had a couple of minutes spare to help provide some feedback on the potential designs we will be using for our merchandise.
Done! Though I'd quite like a bottle that says "breathing is the greatest challenge in life" 😅 I know it shouldn't be, and for most it should be able to be a pleasure, but personally speaking it's not 😅
Actually do one that says "breathing can be the greatest pleasure in life: take your meds as prescribed and know your condition!"
Hmm what about 'Breathing should be seen and not heard?' 😂🎵 (I mean, perhaps not great for the non-wheezers like me, but I was also thinking of being told by physios that you shouldn't be able to hear normal breathing just sitting near someone).
I've also done the survey. I like the idea of a water bottle but my sense of humour is probably too twisted to sell well if I made any more suggestions about what mine would have on it.
On a lighter note, I did like several of the designs including the floral ones, but I have to admit I was amused by all the floral/leaves given how my lungs react to that.😉
Ah we never fit anything, us weirdos 😅 so those who are more normal can have "breathing should be seen and not heard"! I like it!
The irony of flowers, dogs and cats when they're all potential triggers..
Wasn't sure if that was deliberate or not in a random twisted fashion....😂
But that's me I've done it. 😉
Intriguing. Not sure if items offered need to be specifically asthma related. I'd quite like to see some anatomically correct images on clothes and t-shirts - some images of cells, or organs like lungs are quite beautiful and almost architectural in their simple complexity and functioning. My lungs or head aren't full of flowers or cats and dogs (to my knowledge).
I'd buy a royal blue metal waterbottle with some photographic or diagnostic images of cells or lungs. Maybe a colour change mug with healthy or affected lungs? Or people walking outside and doing pulmonary rehab? Or diagrams of them like those step-by-step learn to dance instructions?? Not quite like the scary images that used to be on cigarette packs. A nice folder to keep asthma plans in? Or some fascinating stats on things?
Any place online to get good quality items, gifts, t-shirts or incidentals like umbrellas or travel pass covers is welcome. I'd like to be able donate or support in this way. Yes, it's nice to be alive and to breathe but I'm not sure about some of the captions or straplines 🤔.Different colourways would be good too.
Thank you, all so far for your feedback, I shall pass these on
👍😊
I enjoy the irony of some of the designs (as the others have said!), I’d love the blue bubble lungs on a bottle! Or something more ‘comedic’ (‘it ain’t easy being wheezy’ ‘asthma: Playing life on hard mode’ etc etc) as something more relaxed and aimed at the youngsters (I know kids who would love those compared to the more ‘boring adult’ designs 😉).
But I hope the launch goes well!!
