Each year, I enjoy thinking of creative presents for my clients.
A couple of years ago, I played with the Vitamin C theme and delivered gorgeous, colorful bowls of organic satsumas, oranges, and grapefruit.
As my list expanded out of state and even overseas, this proved logistically, well, impossible.
Last year I chose colorful pens and notebooks from Poppin, one of my favorite #brandcrushes, which I pull frequently for client inspiration.
This year, for most of my list, I decided to showcase one of the projects I worked on: Ravensburger, maker of what are arguably the world's best puzzles. (I collaborated with their in-house designer on a 65-page brand book, which included fine-tuning strategy, developing a brand manifesto, articulating values, and creating guidelines for visual and written expression.)
I had so much fun selecting just the right puzzle for each person, based on their personality, interests, and family composition. (At one time I had a towering stack of more than 40 puzzles in my office!)
The gifts really had a "wow" factor when I presented them, and what better time than the holidays to unwind and spend time with family doing a puzzle?
And, best of all....just look at all these fun pics I received in return!

And, yes, I chose something else for team Ravensburger! They got some bubbly from one of my other favorite clients, Mumm Napa...
Happy 2017 from Vitamin C Creative!
