I would distribute the roses to people I love and care for. I would thank them for playing a loving role in my life. I would hand them to those people that have helped me and kept me company whenever I have endured a tough time, difficulties and trials. They might know they are important to me already, but this would just remind them that I am very thankful to have great people around me - and that they will always be remembered.

As for the chair, I would smarten it up and place it in my room. I'd decorate it with different colours: each colour would be for certain memories - either good or bad. Bright colours would represent joyful memories to be cherished. Dark colours would not remind me of the bitter and hurtful moments in my life, but rather of how I conquered tough times and how overcame my problems.

As for the shoelaces, I'd give eight of them to four friends, one pair each, and keep one pair for myself. We'd learn cool, new and exciting ways of putting our shoelaces in our shoes, saying goodbye to the traditional and boring method of shoe lacing. Experimenting is always cool, especially when you experience it with friends. They'd remember me whenever they saw their chic and creative shoelaces.

I would use these materials to make a 'compromise chair'. As the name suggests, this chair would be specially designed for couples experiencing a 'cold war'. Hopefully they could make up after their conflicts.
