Gift of Home for the Holidays

Air-Canada

It’s that time of the year again! So here is my last and very Christmassy post for the year. 😉

Since Christmas is the season of giving, Air Canada decided to spread a little love to unsuspecting Canadian’s at a local Canadian bar in London. At the bar two Air Canada pilots talked to several Canadians about how they wouldn’t make it home this holiday season. After which they announced that they would be giving everyone in the bar a very special gift. What happened next would make you wish you were there for this special moment…

Until 2015! Ramble over and out.

Give-A-Toy Store

One of the things that all people do during the holidays, besides real shopping, is window shopping. Storefront window displays therefore have a stronger significance during the holiday season. Keeping that in mind eBay has developed a way to make this experience from a passive experience to an interactive and engaging one.

Give-A-Toy Store is a 3D Christmas window installations that has QR code tagged toys evoking passerby’s sensitive and giving side. Scanning the QR codes from inside the eBay app, allows passerby’s to instantly donate that toy on the spot, with the window lighting up and rewarding them for the donation.

The window installation is currently available at Toys for Tots in New York (at 35th and Broadway) and San Francisco (at 117 Post St).

Additionally customers can also customize their own toys on eBay’s Facebook page. For each toy created, eBay will donate $1 (up to $50,000).
