Many people are facing video conferencing fatigue, and to help them adjust to in-person socialising, Neon Zebra recently joined forces with Billy Eichner to launch 'IRL Starter Packs.'
Designed to help make these social situations slightly less awkward, the pack includes various items crated to encourage conversation. This includes a cell phone lockbox that encourages people to take a break from the digital world, an icebreaker game to jumpstart conversation, a portable Bluetooth speaker and custom playlist to "set the mood," temporary tattoos for some light-hearted fun, baseball caps with various sayings like 'Team Hug,' 'Team Virtual,' and 'Team Elbow Bump,' an inflatable drink station as well as several Neon Zebra cocktail mixers.
A limited amount of free starter packs are available for consumers to sign up for online.
