A Project A Week: Lost Party Housewarming Gift

I had planned on posting an event recap of last Friday’s We Are Family opening at Post Family, but then decided that I should post this before the Lost fever dies down. When a good friend of mine invited me over to watch this past Sunday’s series finale for Lost, I realized that it was the perfect opportunity to give her a housewarming gift to celebrate her new apartment.

What better way to say “congrats on your new place,” than with a food basket from the Dharma Initiative? I found us some island themed snacks (pineapple, Mudslide drink mix, and her favorite macadamia nut mix), and then rebranded them with Dharma Initiative packaging from the show. The basket was actually a bamboo drawer organizer that I knew she had been eyeing…added bonus points for it being sustainable And island-themed.

The Dharma logo was easily found on Brands of the World, and I started recreating the packaging from production stills I found online. That is, until Craig sent me a link to this site…which I then used as a style guide to create labels that fit the snacks I had bought. All in all, a quick, fun (and tasty!) little project that was a big hit at the watch-party.
