Founder Story: Why We Love Building Blocks
(And Why I’ll Never Outgrow Them)
Hey fam, it’s me, the founder of Bloxday 👋.
I get asked a lot: “Why do people still love building block sets? Aren’t they just toys for kids?”
And honestly? That question always makes me smile. Because if you’ve ever sat down with a pile of blocks, you already know the answer.
🧱 Building blocks = instant therapy
Life gets chaotic. School, work, deadlines, bills — it’s a lot. But the moment I start snapping blocks together, everything else fades out. It’s like meditation, except instead of closing my eyes, I’m building something awesome. The click of a piece fitting perfectly? Pure serotonin.
It’s not just about building, it’s about creating 💡
Blocks aren’t passive entertainment. You’re not just watching something on Netflix; you’re making. Every set is a challenge, every build is a little journey. Sometimes frustrating, sometimes hilarious, but always rewarding. When you finish, you don’t just have a model — you have a story you built with your own hands.
It hits that nostalgia + newness sweet spot 🎮
Gen Z loves retro, right? Well, blocks are the ultimate throwback. They remind us of being kids, when all you needed was a few pieces to imagine a whole universe. But the new sets? They’re trickier, cooler, and way more designed for us — the “kidults” who want a little challenge with our fun.
🤝 It connects people
I’ve seen it happen over and over: two friends, siblings, even total strangers bonding over a build. You start with small talk, then suddenly you’re geeking out over which piece goes where. It’s social, but without the awkward “what do we talk about?” problem. Blocks do the talking.
📅 It makes any day feel special 🌟
This is the heart of Bloxday’s mission. Saturday, Sunday… and Bloxday. When you build, you give yourself permission to slow down and actually enjoy the moment. That’s why we say: make today your Bloxday.
So yeah, that’s why I’ll never outgrow blocks. Because they’re not about age — they’re about creativity, focus, and joy. Whether you’re 9 or 29, blocks remind you that you can always build something amazing out of what’s in front of you.
💭 So, tell me: what’s the last set you built that made you lose track of time?
