15 September 2026 · Version 3: the same ten concepts for Little Hyde & Hare's first Black Friday and Christmas (mums in their thirties, the Sheepskin Pram Liner first, gifting in seven of ten), with the evidence under them rebuilt. We wrote a full read on each of the eleven competitors and checked every claim inside each brand, which corrected some of version 2: creator ads only outlast brand ads when the creator films her own routine, and the brand that swapped a Black Friday discount for a gift was Sezane. What holds: at every brand that discounted, the offer ads stopped running first; nobody mentions a pram; 4 of 7,167 ads mention gift wrapping and 9 give a Christmas delivery date. The Q4 calendar sets the timing: sale copy starts the week of 3 November, gift copy peaks 1 to 19 December. So the pram liner films go live in late October and run straight through, the booties gift runs Black Friday week beside them, and the gifting concepts run through December. The pictures behind every claim are at lhh-bfcm-library.pages.dev. You are approving the CONCEPT, not finished copy.
What you are deciding: the concept. Mark each one Approve or Reject, then inside the ones you like, tick the hooks worth building a script around and leave a note if the script must do or avoid something. Anything with a pencil can be edited, just click and type over it. Everything saves to this page as you go and Casey can see it, so close it and come back whenever you like.
There is nothing to send. An approved concept with its hooks ticked becomes a brief: we write the scripts for it next. Nothing on this page goes live, so there is no send step. Close the page when you are done.
What changed in version 3 Nothing about the direction: same ten concepts, same personas, same products. What changed is the proof and the timing. C01 now opens on her doubt ("Won't sheepskin make them too hot?"), after Rise & Fall's longest-running ad did exactly that, and adds two texture stills. C02 and C04 are briefed on the creator's own routine and kept off the offer. C06 now rests on Sezane, which ran a gift instead of a discount all month. C04, C08 and C09 each ship a cut with no gift words so something keeps running after Christmas. Every run window follows last year's calendar. Version 2 had no marks, so nothing was lost.
Three rules for the whole slate One: the pram liner films go live by late October and keep running through Black Friday; the sale and Christmas ads are added on top, never swapped in. Two: every gift ad has a sister cut without gift words. Three: the line "gift wrapped, with a card written by hand" goes in the headline of every Q4 ad once the client confirms both are standard at launch. None of this splits the campaigns by persona or stage.
The stance: no percentage off Every concept assumes Little H&H does not discount for its first Black Friday. The evidence: ME+EM ran 0% offer creative across 133 Black Friday ads, With Nothing Underneath 2%, Sezane 7%, and in every brand that did discount, the offer ads stopped running soonest. If the business needs a discount, say so here and C06 changes.
Personas are provisional Little H&H has no customers or reviews yet. The thirties focus is Casey's direction, backed by Hyde & Hare buyers getting younger at Christmas (35 to 44 rises to 15.3% of purchases). Every [hypothesis] cell is marked in personas.md. Check it against real buyer ages after about three months of orders.
Blocked, test or needs a contract C10 needs the store to publish a Christmas cutoff and an exchange window first. C07 is a test with no direct competitor precedent, and the store has no wishlist or gift message. C02 and C04 need creators in their thirties contracted with whitelisting rights by October, using the liner long enough to speak to it. C03 needs a named expert or runs with a team voice.
Things only the client can confirm Pram liner stock and origin wording for Christmas (the bible's liner row reads "Made in England, Feb '27"), product and colour names, whether the waitlist "keep the product vague" rule has ended, the booties RRP so C06 can state a worth, the £100 threshold and dates, gift wrapping as standard at launch, Halley Stevensons naming permission (C08), and any safety wording in C03.
C01: Warm, Not Hot Edited
PRAM LINER · RUN late Oct through February, straight through Black Friday · BUILD October · 15 to 20s demo film + 2 texture statics
The Considered MumProblem-aware
P1 The Considered Mum x the first winter with the pram. Draws on Problem (a baby who runs hot or cold on winter walks), Failed Solution ("every single one trapped heat") and Reason to Believe (structural perforations, "not a treatment, not a chemical process" [BIBLE 6.5]).
THE MESSAGE: A sheepskin pram liner should let the wool breathe, and Wool Flow is how ours does.
PRODUCT: Sheepskin Pram Liner (lead).
ANCHOR: Problem: "most sheepskin pram liners trap heat" (founder insight [BIBLE 6.1]).
NOT ABOUT: Gifting, price, the 47% figure.
WHY (competitor evidence): Rise & Fall's longest-running Black Friday window ad puts the buyer's doubt on screen, "It's just a fitted sheet, how different can it be?", while hands stretch the elastic (1379207416957011, 189 days); its product demos ran a median 110 days against 52 for its other non-offer ads. With Nothing Underneath's fabric close-ups ran 102 days against 24, and Organic Zoo's material statics, "100% wool. No blends. No compromise." (2002133620566495), 43 against 7. None of 7,167 competitor ads mentions a pram, buggy, stroller or pushchair. Borrowed mechanism: say her doubt, then prove the answer in hands and in close-up.
WHY NOW: Live by late October, before the category's offer copy jumps in the week of 3 November, and left running through Black Friday and into February (Piglet in Bed's October argument batch ran 94 to 112 days while its sale ads lived 1 to 22).
FORMAT: PRODUCT_DEMO video, 15 to 20s (hands turning the liner to the perforated backing), plus two TEXTURE_MACRO statics from the same shoot (shearling close-up; the perforations with the approved line burned in). One message across all three: the wool breathes. AWARENESS: Problem-aware: she knows the pram gets cold on winter walks, and may already worry about her baby overheating under layers. Same stage as the source.
SHOT LIST: Open on the doubt as an overlay over a pram on a frosty morning; close hands turning the liner over to the perforated backing [CLIENT SLOT: final liner]; macro of the shearling; a mum in her thirties checking her baby's neck, warm not damp.
MUST CHECK: Wool Flow applies to the pram liner and pram mittens only. No "up to 47%" until tested and ASA-reviewed. Use Wool Flow without the TM symbol until the client confirms registration. Hook 1 is a question the film must answer on screen within seconds. Include safe-sleep guidance if a sleeping baby is shown (confirm wording with the client).

Most pram liners seal the wool against a solid backing. We removed it.
Wool Flow is a pattern of small perforations that lets the wool breathe the way nature intended.

C02: Our Winter Walks Edited
PRAM LINER · RUN late Oct to Jan, relaunch after Cyber Monday · CONTRACT now · 2 to 3 creator films on their own handles
The Considered MumSolution-aware
P1 The Considered Mum x the first winter with the pram. Draws on Desire (substance over trend) and Micro Moment (other mums at pick-up asking where the liner is from [hypothesis]).
THE MESSAGE: A real mum in her thirties films her own winter walks, and the pram liner is simply part of them.
PRODUCT: Sheepskin Pram Liner (lead).
ANCHOR: Desire: "fewer, better things" that make the everyday with a baby feel good [BIBLE 4.2].
NOT ABOUT: Offers, specs, the brand talking.
WHY (competitor evidence): The creator premium is real only when the creator films her own routine and the product does one job in it. Pooky's creator films of a woman's own evening ran a median 76 days against 8.5 for its brand ads: "pov: you've found the perfect rechargeable lamps for cosy self-care evenings" (1416477037144503, 95 days), "this is a no big lights household" (855588060267291, 88 days); Pooky put the same creators live again as new ads on 2 December, after Cyber Monday. Where creators carried the discount they died with it: Beaufort & Blake's Black Friday creator cuts ran 1 to 9 days. Boden credits real mums with their babies by handle (1359265198908927).
WHY NOW: Creator relationships must exist before November. Contract now, live by late October, keep the same films running through Black Friday and relaunch them as new ads after Cyber Monday, as Pooky did with the same creators, into January.
FORMAT: CREATOR_IN_THE_MOMENT video, run through the creator's own handle (whitelisted). Two or three creators, each filming her own route, rather than one film cut many ways. AWARENESS: Solution-aware: she knows sheepskin liners exist and is choosing between makers. Pooky ran unaware; we shift one stage because a pram liner is a considered purchase, not an impulse lamp.
SHOT LIST: Phone-shot on her own route [CLIENT SLOT: creator in her thirties with a baby under two, e.g. from the Callie Coles programme]; baby tucked into the liner; a flask, a hedgerow, cold air, no studio. The liner appears once, mid-walk, never as a pitch.
MUST CHECK: Whitelisting rights in the contract [BIBLE 8.10]; ASA ad disclosure on the creator's post; the creator must genuinely use the product for long enough to speak to it. Keep her off the Black Friday offer.

C03: Safe From Their First Day Edited
PRAM LINER · RUN late Oct through Christmas · BUILD October · 25 to 30s teaching film
The Considered MumThe Mum Who GivesProblem-aware
P1 The Considered Mum x the first winter with the pram (Objection: is sheepskin safe for a newborn); P2 The Mum Who Gives x a friend's new baby (Objection: choosing something natural for a baby she does not live with).
THE MESSAGE: Sheepskin is safe from birth, and we explain why in under thirty seconds.
PRODUCT: Sheepskin Pram Liner (lead).
ANCHOR: Problem: "is sheepskin safe for a baby?" (a listed search term [BIBLE 8.4]).
NOT ABOUT: Price, gifting mechanics, Wool Flow percentages.
WHY (competitor evidence): Teaching works where the buyer is anxious. Wild Nutrition's teaching and named-expert posts ran 164 and 68.5 days against 40 for its other non-offer ads: "Isabelle, our Head of Nutrition, on the three nutritional tips she recommends to everyone embarking on a fertility journey" (1554592848904191, 177 days). Its whitelisted "Three things I wish I knew when I first found out I was pregnant" runs under a parenting publication's handle (2463535580809536). Rise & Fall's teaching ads ran 94 against 52. The same format failed at ME+EM (5 days), where nobody was worried. Borrowed mechanism: three numbered answers from a named voice, ending on a helpful next step.
WHY NOW: Live by late October with C01 and running through Christmas; it answers the safety question before she buys for her own baby or for someone else's.
FORMAT: TEACHING_HOWTO video, 25 to 30s (ATHLETE_EXPERT only if a named expert is secured; otherwise a Little H&H team voice). AWARENESS: Problem-aware: she wants something natural in the pram but worries about getting it wrong for a newborn. Wild Nutrition ran the same stage.
SHOT LIST: Presenter at a kitchen table [CLIENT SLOT: named expert such as Lisel Truscott once agreed, or a team member]; three numbered beats with macro fibre close-ups; a baby awake in the pram liner, natural light; end on the pram compatibility offer.
MUST CHECK: Every safety claim needs a source the client holds; strip any it does not. The pram compatibility service ("tell us your pram, we confirm the right product") is in the plan [BIBLE 9.3]; confirm it is live before the end line runs. Include safe-sleep guidance if a sleeping baby is shown (confirm with client). Expert endorsement only once signed.

C04: What I Give Every New Mum Now Edited
PRAM LINER · GIFTING · RUN 1 Dec to cutoff, no-gift cut on into Jan · CONTRACT now · creator talking-head film + no-gift cut
The Mum Who GivesProblem-aware
P2 The Mum Who Gives x a friend's new baby or baby shower. Draws on Desire (a gift chosen from experience), Failed Solution (newborn outfits outgrown in weeks [hypothesis]; "Not another baby gift that gets forgotten" [LHH-JUL]) and Trigger (a shower invitation).
THE MESSAGE: A mum who has pushed a pram through a winter says what she gives friends having babies now, and why.
PRODUCT: Sheepskin Pram Liner as the gift (lead).
ANCHOR: Desire: to give the thing she wishes someone had given her [hypothesis, the P2 angle to test].
NOT ABOUT: Specs, Black Friday, the brand's own voice.
WHY (competitor evidence): Across 7,167 competitor ads, none says "gift for mum", "new mum" or "baby shower". The only gift for a new mother in the set is Wild Nutrition's Wild Beginnings Gift Set (1371585967699847, 6 ads, 23 days), shown as a product with nobody giving it. The nearest spoken line is an Organic Zoo whitelisted mum creator: "if you wanna treat a new baby or yourself" (1433393218682892). The creator mechanism lasts when she speaks from her own life, not from a brief (Pooky 76 vs 8.5 days); the hindsight format is Wild Nutrition's "Three things I wish I knew" (2463535580809536). Borrowed mechanism: one mum's hindsight, to camera, on her own handle.
WHY NOW: Gift copy across the category peaked 1 to 19 December; baby showers and first Christmases cluster then. Contract now so the creator has used the liner for weeks before she films. Ship a second cut with no gift words (her own pram, her own walk) that keeps running after Christmas.
FORMAT: CREATOR_TALKING_HEAD video (30 to 45s), run through the creator's own handle (whitelisted), plus a no-gift-words cut from the same shoot. AWARENESS: Problem-aware: she has a new-baby gift to buy and every option she has seen feels generic. Wild Nutrition's creator film ran the same stage for its own buyer.
SHOT LIST: To camera at her kitchen table [CLIENT SLOT: creator in her thirties with a toddler and a younger baby]; cut to her own pram with the liner in it; cut to her wrapping one for a friend.
MUST CHECK: The creator must genuinely have used the liner; she must not say she gave it to friends unless she has. ASA ad disclosure; whitelisting rights in the contract [BIBLE 8.10]. Pram fit wording must match the compatibility guidance on site [BIBLE 9.3].

C05: The Box Is Part of the Gift Edited
PRAM LINER · GIFTING · RUN 1 Dec to cutoff; wrapping line on every Q4 ad · BUILD October · 20 to 30s unboxing film + 3 stills
The Mum Who GivesProduct-aware
P2 The Mum Who Gives x a friend's new baby or baby shower. Draws on Desire ("unboxing IS the product"), Reason to Believe (illustrated gift box, ribbon, hand-written card on every order, plastic-free [BIBLE 9.6]) and Micro Moment (the lid copy "Herein lies the start of something beautiful").
THE MESSAGE: For the friend giving it, the Little Hyde & Hare box is half the present, and we show every layer of it.
PRODUCT: Sheepskin Pram Liner revealed in the box (lead); the double-sided blankie as the smaller gift.
ANCHOR: Desire: "to be the gift the parents talk about" ("unboxing IS the product" [BIBLE 4.1]).
NOT ABOUT: Materials science, price, Wool Flow.
WHY (competitor evidence): Only 4 of 7,167 competitor ads mention gift wrapping or a gift box: If Only If "every order arrives beautifully gift-wrapped" as a two-day weekend card (696484350196873, 4258160624440153) and Rise & Fall's gift box over £150, "Only 500 available" (1177502544521638, 12 days). Brands that carry a standing value line carry it on almost every ad: "Free returns" on 118 of ME+EM's 133 Black Friday ads. Sezane's Parisian Gift Guide as a tissue-lined flat lay (1182448813215368, 38 days). No unboxing appears in the 109 close reads and 12 were launched in the window, 9 of them Rise & Fall. Borrowed mechanism: the box as the hero object, slowed right down, and the wrapping stated as standard rather than as a deal.
WHY NOW: The unboxing film runs through December's gift peak (1 to 19 December). The standing line ("gift wrapped, card written by hand") runs on every Q4 ad from launch.
FORMAT: UNBOXING, video (20 to 30s) plus 3 stills of the layers; the line itself as a TEXT_OVERLAY_USP headline across the slate. AWARENESS: Product-aware in gifting terms: she knows she needs a special gift and is choosing where it comes from. Competitors ran the box as a product-aware closer too; no stage translation.
SHOT LIST: Friends in their thirties around a kitchen table at a baby shower, natural window light [CLIENT SLOT: real friends, not a model look]; the expecting friend lifts the lid to the lid copy, unties the ribbon, parts the tissue, reads the hand-written card [CLIENT SLOT: real card], reveals the pram liner [CLIENT SLOT: final name and colourway]. End frame: box closed, card on top.
MUST CHECK: Confirm gift wrapping is standard on every order at launch (plan says yes [BIBLE 9.3]). Confirm what the hand-written card says. The store has no gift message field [HH]; do not imply a personal note from the giver unless one can be added.

C06: Complimentary Booties, Not a Discount Edited
PRAM LINER + BOOTIES · RUN 23 to 30 Nov, beside C01 to C03 · BUILD October · 1 offer static + 10s film
The Considered MumThe Mum Who GivesProduct-aware
P1 The Considered Mum x the first winter with the pram (the liner at £130 clears the £100 threshold by itself [BIBLE 9.2]); P2 The Mum Who Gives x a first Christmas for a niece, nephew or godchild (the booties arrive in their own gift box [BIBLE 5.4], one to give and one to keep).
THE MESSAGE: This Black Friday, Little Hyde & Hare adds something rather than taking something off, and the pram liner earns the booties on its own.
PRODUCT: Sheepskin Pram Liner (lead) with complimentary Woollen Tiny Booties.
ANCHOR: Desire: a clearly premium buy without the sale sticker ("the gift giver is buying a thing that looks expensive").
NOT ABOUT: Percentage off, urgency countdowns, "Black Friday deals" language.
WHY (competitor evidence): Sezane ran no discount at all through Black Friday and gave a gift instead: named, limited items ("Enjoy a limited-edition Sézane x Antoinette Poisson pouch with your order", 1294696072342042), the terms printed ("*Minimum spend $/£/€50... While stock lasts, one gift per person.", 1507714400448555), a new gift with each drop from 16 November to 15 December, threshold raised to 100 from 14 December (757109584041453). All 8 of its offer pictures in the window were gifts. Rise & Fall stated a worth on its gifts ("worth £30" to "worth £110") but ran them in September and October, then switched to "20% off everything" for the window. Organic Zoo's tote was stacked on up to 50% off, which is the version to avoid. Nobody in the set ran a gift with purchase on a baby product.
WHY NOW: Black Friday week, 23 to 30 November. The offer static is short-lived by nature (offer pictures stopped soonest at 9 of 9 brands), so it runs beside C01 to C03, never instead of them.
FORMAT: OFFER_GRAPHIC static (the liner with the booties in their gift box, the terms burned in) plus a 10s film of the booties being placed into the order. AWARENESS: Product-aware: she knows Little H&H and the liner, and needs a reason to buy this week rather than a reason to trust.
SHOT LIST: Booties in their gift box on linen beside a folded pram liner [CLIENT SLOT: final colourways]; a mum's hands placing the booties into an open order box; macro of the single-yarn wool.
MUST CHECK: £100 threshold is the 2026 plan [BIBLE 9.2]; confirm it, the dates, the booties stock, and that the liner is still £130. State worth only once RRP is published on site. Terms and end date on the landing page. "Complimentary", never "free".

PRAM LINER + MITTENS · GIFTING · RUN 1 Dec to cutoff · TEST · 1 static + 2-frame story
The Mum on the ListProduct-aware
P3 The Mum on the List x her own Christmas present, and x when the grandparents ask what to buy. Draws on Desire (something for her daily life with the baby [BIBLE 9.1 "Mommy Pram Mittens"]) and Objection (no wishlist, gift note or gift message on the store [HH]).
THE MESSAGE: When someone asks what she or the baby would like for Christmas, the ad is the answer she forwards.
PRODUCT: Sheepskin Pram Liner (lead) and Sheepskin Pram Mittens.
ANCHOR: Problem: nobody knows what to buy a new mum, and the store has no wishlist to send [HH].
NOT ABOUT: Specs, discounts, the giver's feelings.
WHY (competitor evidence): Wishlist language in 7,167 ads is spoken to the buyer about herself: Boden's "now's the time to wear your wishlist" (43 ads, e.g. 1105995721607910, 20 days), Sezane's #SEZANEWISHLIST voucher giveaway (3317005705133011, 2 days), Pooky's "The Christmas list is growing" as a sale line (1388149586247646, 8 days). No brand writes the ad for the person being asked what she wants, and none mentions a pram. This is a TEST: the mechanism has no direct precedent.
WHY NOW: 1 to 19 December, when gift copy across the category peaks and the "what would you like?" messages arrive [hypothesis].
FORMAT: TEXT_OVERLAY_USP static plus a two-frame story designed to be screenshotted and sent. AWARENESS: Product-aware: she has seen Little H&H and the liner; the ad gives her a reason to pass it on rather than a reason to buy it herself.
SHOT LIST: Frame one: a phone screen style overlay over the liner in a pram on a winter walk [CLIENT SLOT]; frame two: gloved hands on the pram handle in the mittens, the wrapped box beside them.
MUST CHECK: TEST, not MAKE. The giver is often H&H's mobile, 55 to 64 buyer [HH]: the destination must be easy to buy from on a phone. Say nothing about wishlists unless one is built. Mittens RRP is a range (£95 to £105); confirm before any price appears.

FOOTMUFF + PRAM LINER · GIFTING · RUN 1 Dec to cutoff, walk cut on into Feb · BUILD October · 30 to 45s film + still + no-gift walk cut
The Mum on the ListUnaware
P3 The Mum on the List x when the grandparents ask what to buy for a first Christmas. Draws on Desire (heirloom), Reason to Believe (the grandmother often already trusts Hyde & Hare [HH]; the plan's own grandparent's gift [BIBLE 9.1]) and Micro Moment (opening the grandparents' box on Christmas morning [hypothesis]).
THE MESSAGE: The first Christmas present from the grandparents is the one she chose, and it goes on every walk.
PRODUCT: Sheepskin Footmuff (lead), with the Sheepskin Pram Liner as the alternative.
ANCHOR: Desire: the grandparents' present to be the good one, used every day and kept ("treasured pieces that grow with families through generations" [BIBLE 1.1]).
NOT ABOUT: Offers, specs beyond the cloth, discount.
WHY (competitor evidence): The giver is not on screen anywhere: 0 of the 109 close reads shows the person giving, and the one new-mother gift set in the set (Wild Nutrition) is shown as a product. Closest emotional references are two separate If Only If films at full price: Tartan, three generations in a cottage, "The Tartan collection celebrates heritage with a modern twist" (1879201952694285, 35 days, family 4), and Celestial, a mother and two children, "Timeless and cross-generational" (2277166452695811, 23 days, family 5). Beaufort & Blake's gift-worded ads ran 7 to 15 days while product cuts from the same launch ran 63 to 132, so this concept ships a footmuff walk cut with no gift words too. Borrowed mechanism: generations in one frame, full price, no offer.
WHY NOW: 1 to 19 December, the category's gift peak, up to the Christmas cutoff; the no-gift-words walk cut runs on into January and February.
FORMAT: GIFTING, video (30 to 45s) with a still cut-down, plus a no-gift-words footmuff walk cut. AWARENESS: Unaware of the category: she is thinking about the baby's first Christmas and what to tell her parents, not about footmuffs. If Only If ran solution-aware for its own buyer; we move earlier because her question is "what should they get?", not "which footmuff?".
SHOT LIST: A mum in her thirties and her own mother on a video call, then the grandmother at her kitchen table wrapping [CLIENT SLOT: real family, not a model look]; Christmas morning, the box opened; the baby snug in the footmuff on a Boxing Day walk with three generations. Real, warm, textural, not Cotswolds cliche [BIBLE 3.5].
MUST CHECK: "Kept for the next" stays within the brand's own positioning [BIBLE 1.1, 1.3]; no durability claim beyond it. Halley Stevensons naming needs the client's supplier permission. The store has no Christmas cutoff published yet [HH]; do not imply delivery timing.

C09: A Gift Guide for the Pram Edited
FULL RANGE · GIFTING · RUN 1 Dec to cutoff · BUILD October · 5-card carousel
The Mum Who GivesThe Mum on the ListSolution-aware
P2 The Mum Who Gives x a first Christmas for a niece, nephew or godchild; P3 The Mum on the List x her own Christmas present. Draws on Desire (a present that feels like it came from someone who knows) and Reason to Believe (wrapped as standard, card by hand [BIBLE 9.3]).
THE MESSAGE: One gift guide, sorted by who it is for: the baby's first winter, the one pushing the pram, and the baby shower.
PRODUCT: Range: Sheepskin Pram Liner (lead card), Sheepskin Pram Mittens, Double-Sided Blankie, Sheepskin Footmuff, Woollen Tiny Booties.
ANCHOR: Problem: the gift guides she sees are written for adults; almost none is for a baby [INTEL-SEP].
NOT ABOUT: Discounts, specs, Black Friday.
WHY (competitor evidence): Gift guides are a seasonal burst, not a long runner, and that is fine for a December job. Boden's gift guide ran 16 ads, 13 October to 3 November, median 13 days; Sezane's Parisian Gift Guide 38 days (1182448813215368). Rise & Fall's one "Gift Guide" ad launched 12 December and ran 97 days (1425955022387103), and its "Thoughtful, well-priced gifts" line ran 139 days from 18 December (3975532562744277), which reads as an evergreen gifts page more than Christmas. Of 229 gift-mentioning Q4 ads, 7 are for children and they ran 1 to 18 days: Sezane "Only the best for your little ones" (1545401946742845, 7 days), Organic Zoo (876039058275335, 5 days). None is for the pram.
WHY NOW: 1 to 19 December, when gift copy across the category peaks, up to the cutoff. Each card also works as a single-product no-gift-words ad after Christmas.
FORMAT: RANGE_LINEUP carousel (5 cards, one recipient each), plus a 15s scroll of the same. AWARENESS: Solution-aware: she is reading gift guides and comparing. Same stage as the source.
SHOT LIST: One card per recipient, each product in natural light on linen or in a pram [CLIENT SLOT: final names and colourways]; end card with the gift box and card. Card order leads with the pram liner.
MUST CHECK: Confirm every product in the guide is in stock for Christmas. Blankie colours (2 plus a print) and booties availability as a standalone buy, not only as the gift with purchase [BIBLE 5.4, 5.6].

C10: In Time for Christmas Edited
PRAM LINER + BLANKIE · GIFTING · RUN ~7 Dec to cutoff · BLOCKED until the store publishes a cutoff · static + 6s story
The Mum Who GivesThe Mum on the ListProduct-aware
P2 The Mum Who Gives x a first Christmas for a niece, nephew or godchild (Trigger: the mid-December deadline, ordered between everything else); P3 The Mum on the List x when the grandparents ask what to buy (Objection: will it arrive, and can it be exchanged).
THE MESSAGE: Order by the cutoff and it arrives gift wrapped, card written, ready to give.
PRODUCT: Sheepskin Pram Liner (lead) and Double-Sided Blankie.
ANCHOR: Problem: "will it arrive in time?" (the gift-giver's unanswered objection on the store [HH]).
NOT ABOUT: Materials, emotion, discount.
WHY (competitor evidence): Only 9 of 7,167 competitor ads carried a Christmas delivery deadline, all launched 11 to 19 December: Sezane "Final Call: Gifts in Time", "Order today to enjoy complimentary shipping and get your gifts in time for December 24th" (1250087553622068 and 2 siblings, 18 days each); Organic Zoo, the one baby brand in the set, "Get It By Christmas, Order by 21/12" (876039058275335, 1215933547071347); With Nothing Underneath "Last-minute, done properly" with next-day delivery (1373386547913868 and 3 siblings, launched 19 December). Earlier, If Only If paired a delivery weekend with gift wrapping, "Get your Christmas gifting sorted early" (696484350196873, 21 to 23 November). All sold the arrival, not a saving.
WHY NOW: The category ran deadlines 11 to 19 December; run the two weeks before Little H&H's published cutoff (client to confirm dates).
FORMAT: TEXT_OVERLAY_USP static and 6s story, dated. AWARENESS: Product-aware: she has chosen, and needs certainty to press buy. Same stage as the source.
SHOT LIST: The wrapped box on a doorstep in frost [CLIENT SLOT]; the pram liner and blankie beside it; overlay with the date.
MUST CHECK: **Blocked until the store publishes a Christmas cutoff and an exchange window** (neither exists on the shared H&H store today [HH]). Dates in the ad must match the site.
