Sponsored Video: Boots Christmas TV advert 2012: Let's feel good

I don’t know about you but adverts surely cheer me up and put me in a Christmas mood instantly! Especially the latest one from Boots this year that has been doing the television rounds recently has quickly become a favourite!

Of course there’s an Elton John song playing in the backdrop, cozy homes, family gatherings and the Christmas tree that sets the right tone.  But more importantly, I think it’s the use of real life people for the first time in a Boot’s advert that makes it so warm and real, as if you have actually seen such scenarios happen in your home as well.

The chemistry between the couple trying out the fragrance or the little girl and the granddad is heart warming and absolutely adorable to watch over and over again. Nonetheless, the star of the show is Bandit the dog of course who with or without the ‘grooming’ is to die for.

It’s seems almost common sense to keep on giving presents that accentuate the feel good factor and don’t have a shelf life but rather have a thought or an intention behind them. I cannot tell you the number of times I have received thoughtless presents however that just don’t make sense!

Let’s learn a little from the advert and give presents that keep on giving. It can be something quirky, edgy or totally unexpected as Boots literally do a tonne of different gift sets even under the £10 tag if you’re on a tight budget. But whatever you decide to gift, have a cute intention behind it, plan it a few days in advance to give it some thought, browse between lunch breaks or after work or pick out travel sized items from Boots and make a customised gift set if you will and it’ll  automatically appear more lovable.
