But some of the most
effective Christmas advertisements aren’t for gifts, they’re for everyday home essentials, like shaving cream, coffee, tide bleach, and hair
remover. Those don’t seem like the most festive of holiday items, but by the time Christmas
morning comes around, well, we’ve probably used at least one of them.
Here are some holiday ads we’re especially impressed by:
The Nespresso Coffee Machine. It’s a simple design—6 coffee cups in the shape of a Christmas tree. But there’s also an underlying message—doesn’t your entire family love coffee on Christmas morning?
Did dad remember to shave? Because otherwise he’s going to look like
Santa Claus. This clever ad from
Gilette plays with the idea that dads don’t want to look too jolly. At the same time, it reminds us of when
we were kids and we couldn’t wait to steal our dad’s shaving cream to make our
own frosty Christmas beard!
Veet helps women have soft, smooth legs without having to shave. This ad recalls Charlie Brown’s bare little Christmas tree. Who doesn’t love watching that movie every holiday season?
