For a few days near the end of November, Roots will run an immersive greeting card experience called Anything Roots Post, and at the pop-up, guests can pen personalized messages to loved ones across Canada.
According to research, over half of Canadian holiday shoppers identify as "thoughtful gifters," and value heartfelt gestures over extravagant spending. Inspired by the simple beauty and deep meaning of handwritten holiday greeting cards, Roots is providing people in Toronto the chance to visit The Well to send a thoughtful card, free of charge.
Also at the pop-up, there will be an interactive photo booth with a Canadian winterscape for capturing memories, a chance to win a $250 CAD Roots gift card, and the chance to pick up inspiring gift ideas centered on Canadian heritage and nostalgia.
