Wahoo, Your stick has arrived! The packaging is open, the handle is in your hand, and you have a choice. You can leave it by the door for the day you might need it, or you can start using it the way good objects deserve to be used.
We made this challenge for the second one. Ten days, ten small things to do with your stick. Some are about getting out. Some are about getting comfortable. Some are just for fun. Distance does not matter, fitness does not matter, and there is no order to follow. Pick the day that suits the day you are having.
The challenges
Day 1. Go somewhere new, or somewhere old.
Take your stick to a place you have not been, or one you have not visited in a while. The next street over counts. The garden counts. The point is that your stick goes with you, test her out!
Day 2. Coordinate the colour.
Match your handle to one thing you are wearing. A scarf, a jumper, a pair of socks no one else can see. Outfit one, stick zero, until today.
Day 3. Take a photo and send it to us.
Get someone to take a picture of you with your new stick. Email it, message it, tag us. We collect these and we love them.
Day 4. Try a new surface.
Grass, gravel, sand, a polished floor, a steep path you usually avoid. Notice how the foot grips. Notice how your weight moves through it. What do you think?
Day 5. Introduce it.
When someone notices your stick, and someone will, tell them where it came from. Compliments are easier to take when you have an answer ready.
Day 6. Pair it with a coffee or a tea.
Sit somewhere that is not your kitchen. A cafe, a bench, a friend's front step. Lean your stick beside you and stay a while. Dolce far niente.
Day 7. Run a small errand on purpose.
Pick the trip you would normally skip or ask someone else to do. The post box, the dairy, the chemist. Take your stick and go for it.
Day 8. Tell us what you think.
Is your ooak stick living up to expectations? Is there anything we could improve to make it work better for you? We're always innovating and we'd love to hear from you. Leave a review here, or send us an email at store@ooak.co
Day 9. Take a portrait of just the stick.
Lean it somewhere that suits it. A garden gate, a doorway, the corner of a chair. Good objects deserve to be photographed once in a while & we love to see them.
Day 10. Pass it on.
Tell one person who is putting off getting a stick about yours. Not to convince them, just to show them. That is usually all it takes.
Send us your ten days
Photos, notes, where you went, what you wore, the looks you got. Send them to store@ooak.co or tag us @ooakmoove on Instagram. We will share our favourites in the journal, with your permission.
Welcome to ooak. The stick is yours now. Go and use it.
