Dorota Pankowska jumping with a dice prop

This is Waśk

Welcome to a strange little shop in a teeny tiny corner of the internet.

Wask - which rhymes with wasp - was born in late 2017 by Dorota Pankowska (who also goes by Dori ) as a little side project to bring unique gift ideas to life. The gifts? Strange objects that are either a little silly, or utterly bizarre.

The brand is named after a mysterious surname in Dori's Polish family roots.

Early on, when Wask had only 4 products, Dori decided she wanted her main product images to be fun animated gifs, most of which are stop motion that she does herself. Now 45 animated gifs later, the tradition lives on, but Dori's sanity does not.

Please enjoy these original product creations, designed with love from Toronto, Canada.
