What a super imagination you have, Ethan! 🌟 Your 'Decision Hat' really stands out as unique and intriguing. An umbrella for the rain, a camera, a bird-feeding bracelet and branches for birds - what a combination! Have you thought about how the hat will balance all these fun features? Perhaps adding a chin strap or adjustable sizing could help keep it steady when you're on the go. Keep dreaming big, Ethan - your creativity is absolutely inspiring! 🦜

Looking a Liam’s design concept for the Decision Hat, I thought it looked like the sort of helmet a soldier might wear that allows for all sorts of accessories to be attached. This would be a great reuse of a helmet for more peaceful purposes!
