This year's Christmas Campaign from Boots UK focuses on how hard it can be to find the right gift for the very different people in your life - and how a trip to a Boots 'Bootique' is … read morethe answer. Christmas research conducted for Boots says that this year people want to give fewer, better gifts and focus on the most special people in their lives. However, this can make Christmas stressful. The campaign will launch with a media event and 90-second film, created in collaboration with Ogilvy UK, Mediacom, Geometry, Bookmark and True Story. More than a third of us are worried about choosing the right gift. This is no surprise; with the multitude of new trends and tribes constantly emerging, it can be daunting to show our most precious people that we really get them. To help solve this problem, Boots is launching hundreds of individual 'Bootiques': gift edits curated around the countless personalities that make up the fantastic people that we love. Bootiques will appear online, in Boots stores, in out-of-home, social media and experiential channels. Starting in a traditional village hall, the film shows the common gifting frustrations of a married couple, Linda and Neil. Another character relates to their frustrations and reaches boiling point on just what a nightmare Christmas shopping has become. The doors to the village hall burst open, and we move through a series of scenes which bring to life some of the people we now have to buy for. From the person who gets up every Sunday at 6am to be yelled at by a fitness instructor, to the person who totally gets why a beauty influencer contours with a kitchen spatula, the Bootiques are revealed as the perfect solution for all those ridiculously hard to buy for people in your life.
