Initial Thinking
Although you can purchase literally anything online, you have to put the work in to find it. It’s not a fun experience.Inspiration
My home city of Cape May has a shopping strip called Washington Street Mall. Here, people make a day of window-shopping, dropping in and out of stores, and strolling around town.From exploring to purchasing, they’re inspired by their options and feel joyous in finding gifts for your loved ones.

Cultural Truth
Browsing is the best part of holiday shopping. It’s exciting to walk through the aisles of stores, seeing yourself in the display windows, all for the anticipation of finding something worth purchasing.
Insight
Shopping online is easier than its ever been. One-click-buy has conditioned us to trade discovery for convenience.Human Truth
You know you’ve found the one when you feel it in your heart.
Strategy
Put your heart into it.
