We’re all a little toasty.
Crispy at the edges, emotionally medium-rare.
Somehow, this toaster-shaped oddball machine still managed to spit out us; A Snack-hoarding, puzzle-solving, cream-smearing misfits on a mission.
We’re not exactly thriving—but we are showing up. So go ahead, give healing a shot. Or at the very least, laugh a little while you unravel.
Sometimes what you really need isn’t advice or a fix—just a moment to feel, fall apart, and slowly stitch yourself back together.
Why Basket Cases™?
(a.k.a. “Why a Breakdown Basket?”)
Because being human is hard. And hilarious. And chaotic.
We made these baskets because:
- Your brain deserves a timeout (even if your schedule doesn’t).
- Art, stories, and silly rituals can be more healing than a checklist.
- You’re not broken—you’re just beautifully overwhelmed.
Basket Cases was born from burnout and rebirth.
Created by artist Camilo Martinez, this project is a mix of art therapy, dark humor, and emotional survival kits.
