RICHMOND HILL, ON, Nov. 8, 2019 /CNW/ – Staples Canada is helping Canadians surprise those who matter most with unique, curated gift ideas this holiday season. Whether Canadians are shopping for their family, friends, teachers or coworkers, Staples has the solution to ensure their gift is meaningful and as unique as they are.
A recent survey conducted by Staples Canada revealed that 68 per cent of consumers find it difficult to find the right gift for their family members, while 45 per cent have a challenging time finding a perfect gift for their friends. Finding the right gift is a common stressor among Canadian shoppers, and that’s why Staples Canada is providing solutions this holiday season by creating a streamlined shopping experience with Gifts that Get Them.
“As The Working and Learning Company, we are always thinking of ways to help our customers get inspired and be successful in anything they do – and that includes making their holiday shopping a breeze,” said John DeFranco, Chief Commercial Officer, Staples Canada. “Finding that perfect gift can be difficult, so we thought of family, friends, teachers and coworkers alike to build a unique selection of gifting ideas that reflect who they are and what inspires them.”
Some of the gifting personalities crafted include:
- The Entrepreneur: This is the person in your life who has a small business, a gig on the side, and always striving for the next big adventure.
- The Artsy Crafter: This is the creative DIYer who loves to doodle and make their own gifts.
- The Pen Lover: For the person who favours the personal touch of the written letter and prefers taking handwritten notes. Making notebooks look pretty using different colours, pens and all types of sticky notes.
- The Tech Enthusiast: They are obsessed with always having the latest in tech innovation, staying connected and having the “smartest” home/office set up.
- The Sentimentalist: The person who appreciates a personal gift more than anything else. Personalized photo mugs and calendars will act as a continued reminder of their loved ones. This can also go beyond loved ones to loved times.
- Stocking Stuffers: Gifts that are small enough to fit in a stocking but still pack a great punch and under $50.
