"A Thunk" is a beguiling question about everyday things that stops you in your tracks and helps you start to look at the world in a whole new light. A thunk will shake up your templates, rattle your thought routines, and make you think about things differently! So find a friend or family member, ask a 'Thunk', disagree with their answer (remember there are no right and wrong answers) and keep your brain working longer and better. This is the ideal gift for possibly the most impossible person to buy for!
