365surprises has launched a product that cures those who feel homesick towards Madeira.
A Madeiran firm has launched a service to cure the homesick. It goes by the name of Madeira Box and offers the chance to receive ‘the best that Madeira has to offer, no matter what part of the world you are in’, reveals Tiago Teixeira, the person in charge of it.
The target audiences are emigrants from Madeira or visitors who want to rekindle their memories of the local products.
Madeira Box is a monthly service that ensures the delivery of a box containing Madeiran products, from the more traditional ones, to the more innovative: molasses cake, cookies, almonds, sugar lumps, poncho, Madeira wine, brisa maracujá, laranjada, embroidery and herbs and spices. The box’s contents will vary from month to month.
The service is available online at www.madeirabox.com. It is possible to buy a single unit or a package of 3, 6 or 12 months.
This is the most recent service offered by 365surprises, a firm conceived to help those who want to ‘offer original gifts yet are lacking in time or imagination’. According to Tiago Teixeira, the service functions through a ‘very intuitive interface’, through which the user supplies the needed information on the person they wish to surprise. The user is then allowed to choose the gift or to adhere ‘to one of the suggestions or to purchase a “mysterious” gift putting their trust on 365surprises’ good taste’.
