But here you go, Anon!

Ship: RemRom Word count: 713 Warnings: Remus driving a car on the highway, fellatio mention, food mention and eating, lmk if I need t tag anything else

Read on AO3 

“Come on, we’re gonna be late!”

“The park doesn’t close until tonight, we can afford to be 5 minutes behind plan, Remus.” Roman said as he walked around the car and pushed the last bag into place beside a cooler and another larger bag. “Besides it’s you driving this time, and I know you’ll run the speed limit at least twice to try and make up for the lost minutes anyway.”

Remus couldn’t argue there. He had always been a bit of a speed demon and Roman had learned to live with it. He probably had an early will written just in case.

Remus got pulled out of his thoughts when Roman leaned down and kissed his cheek. “I’ll go get my coffee and your sparkling water, and then we’re good to go.”

The time was half past 7 in the morning and they were going to DisneyWorld for their anniversary, and Remus absolutely wanted to be there before the gates opened to get in as quickly and early as possible. So as soon as Roman was back with their beverages they were on the way to the park, Disney songs playing on the stereo.

-

When they arrived at the park it was the expected chaos of families with small impatient kids, Disney fans of all ages, and people trying to park as close to the entrance as possible and then still having to walk a long while after finding a parking spot. The twins choose to park in a not as crowded part of the lot even if it meant a little farther to walk. They got their cooler and the smaller bag, leaving the big one with spare clothes and other emergency necessities in the car. No reason to drag that with them all day if they weren't gonna need it.

They got their tickets checked after a long enough wait for Remus to start getting impatient and fidget, but was soon enough on their way to the first stop of the trip before going to the rides. Snacks.

The twins had had this trip planned a long time, and they had a whole list of what things to do and which rides to take in order for maximum use of their time. Of course they could try everything, though that would be a dream to brag about. They had taken estimated queue time into account too, keeping an eye on the park app and seeing when it would be shortest and used that as the ranking point.

For the long queues they had made sure to pack a few of Remus' fidget toys, which he kept on him in a fabulously green glitter fanny pack around his hips. And Roman was the one with water, snacks and hoodies - as well as other necessities - in the back pack. They had preplanned lunch and dinner in the park, keeping in mind in their planned timetable, and to not overeat on snacks. Which they both started to fear they might as everything looked so pretty and delicious and instagram-able! They did buy snack-credits, so they did have some already planned to get pictures of and with.

Which was exactly what they were doing when the inevitable happened. They felt the temperature drop, the wind shift, and saw the sky get covered in even darker clouds than before. Both twins stood with a churro each in their hands, ready to take a selfie, with Remus acting like he was doing fellatio, when the sky opened up and it started raining. They hurried to the closest place to take cover, which thankfully wasn't far, and while Remus held Roman's churro and ate his own, the latter was pulling off the backpack to get their ponchos and a pack of tissues to dry off.

Before Roman could start drying off though, Remus leaned towards him, asking for a kiss. Roman smiled at him and accepted the request, kissing him softly on the lips a few times. He tasted like sugar and the vanilla glaze he had his churro dipped in before taking pictures. The kisses were innocent and soft, entirely approved to do at DisneyWorld without being asked to stop by a cast member. Maybe a disgruntled Karen would be annoyed but the twins didn’t care.

[s-mething-mbti]

Hi! 22 years old transmasculine person here. Would probably be good to know that I suspect I might be autistic, and have suffered from depression, anxiety and emotional problems before. Nowadays I'm better and more stable, though.

1. Are there any types you’re torn between? Which ones and why? Look into cognitive functions and really put some thought into this.

ISTJ, ESTJ, ISFP, ISFJ mostly. From tests I've gotten all kind of results - mostly they've been intuitives - but I'm pretty sure I'm a sensor, especially when I compare myself to intuitives in my life. Intuitive types I've thought of are INTP, INFP and ENTJ, even. I kinda see Te and Fi on myself, however also Ti in addition to that. I identify with Si quite a much - I tend to be alert of new situations and I prefer to know what will happen before engaging. (This has been a bit of a problem for me before but I've been working on it slowly.) I somewhat see Ne on my varying interests and seeing possibilities everywhere - though I'm cautious of carrying them out and need to plan things for long time. I see myself more as a thinker than a feeler, maybe.

2. What do you LOVE to do - to the point where you can go all day without eating or sleeping - and why? Tell me about as many things as come to mind.

The first thing that comes to mind is that I just love learning about different subjects (whatever picks my interest - it varies and I become usually very obsessed with it). I love telling about my interests to other people and discussing about them, I like to challenge my thinking even though I sometimes might come off as blunt and strict with my opinions. (When learning I like to ask "Why? What is the reason for this thing to happen?") In addition to learning I like just generally like discussing about more "deep" subjects such as trauma. I'm interested in how other people view the world and what has affected them during their life. How could I get close to them? (However, getting close to people seems to be quite difficult for me.)

3. What’s something that’s obvious to you that most other people just don’t seem to get?

In ordinary life the one thing that I notice the most is the importance of planning things ahead and that having a structured environment where everything is on their rightful place is more efficient. Importance of visual harmony. I dislike chaos. Joking around when work is expected is another thing I cannot stand. Oh, and that human rights are not a subject of "opinion."

4. What’s something that’s obvious to everyone else that you just don’t seem to get?

Enjoying watching sports or driving a car. I just have never understood those things. Oh, and social cues. I just seem to get them very late or not at all.

5. Pick one or two of these prompts that stand out. How do you feel about: [honesty, leadership, harmony, morals, society, truth, management, emotion, efficiency, self-expression]

Truth is the thing I seek with everything. "Why am I like this? Why did this happen? What's the reason behing this?"

Efficiency is the thing I seek quite a lot. Usually it's about forming a routine on something so I don't separately have to think about it anymore. I would wish for having a set list of foods which I eat and make but unfortunately I get bored on them and have to try out new things or modify them somehow.

6. Pick another one or two prompts. How do you feel about [adrenaline, novelty, tradition, meditation, the future, the past, new ideas, comfort, perspective, brainstorming, excitement]

Meditation... Ah, I've tried. I'm not sure if it has helped but I try to remember to do that. I remember being a bit sceptic of it but reading about the benefits made me try it. Actually an one thing I would wish to find from meditation is "coming to truths, conclusions". I'm very interested in the use of intuition in everyday life, tbh. I wish I had Ni, but I think I don't.

The future. I'm optimistic and scared - it varies. I think about the future quite a lot. I would love to achieve something and be appreciatied but especially I would like to find a flexible but secure job I can do without getting bored and having confidence on my skills and being responsible for things.

In addition: comfort. I like to have comfort but I greatly value getting out of comfort zone too. Nothing feels comfortable if you're always comfortable, right?

IXTJ, probably INTJ.  Caution around new situations, needing to plan first, knowing before engaging - this is all typical of being an IXXJ. Your focus on “why did this happen, what’s the reason,” “coming to truths/conclusions,” thinking about the future a lot, and your interest in how people view the world sounds more like Ni than Si. 

Your Te came out pretty clearly - coming off blunt, valuing structure and efficiency, forming a routine so you “don’t have to think about it anymore.” Te wants to “set and forget” systems for maximum efficiency. 

Other minor points - difficulty getting close to people and confusion over social cues can point to low Feeling. Also, your disinterest in sports and driving could point to low Sensing (but I wouldn’t use that statement on it’s own to make a conclusion)

This started as a joke, but Dragon!Skies 😅

(Ideas of March Prompt Fill 9/15)

It was impossible to hide a Sky when they manifested, given the way they were immediately encased in an indestructible crystalline eggshell that glittered and shone with a thousand shades of the Rainbow. There was some debate, in the Alliance, over which Sky had cracked their shell at the youngest age. Xanxus di Vongola had already manifested and learned how to control his Flames when he was taken in off the streets at eight. Still, some of the Giglio Nero Donna’s had Manifested that young too. Reborn glared at the pathetic excuse for a personality profile Bakamitsu had dropped into his hands and wondered what the gossips would say if they learned the Young Lion’s spawn had cracked his shell at four.

/…/

Reborn had not quite known what to expect when he arrived in Namimori to teach Sawada Tsunayoshi the laws and customs of his father’s culture so that the boy could take his place as the Vongola Heir. The CEDEF report had listed Tsuna as easily distracted, high-strung, shy, and constantly anxious. Whatever Reborn had thought to expect, it was nothing like this.

A young Misty Cloud was snarling at him, with a smallish army of lesser Flames following his lead. The Sky Reborn had come here to teach was all-but smothered in the arms of two girls, a Sunny Mist and a Misty Lightning respectively. Just in front of the huddle a Misty Rain bounced a sword against his shoulder, smiling like a natural hitman, and a Misty Sun cracked his wrapped knuckles with a shining grin, both with hints of Lightning crackling through them. Behind the main cluster a Stormy Cloud stood with her feet planted and arms crossed, scowl firmly on her face. She was the only one bound directly to the Sky without a hint of Mist in her.

This was bad. Reborn was no good with unanchored Mist-magnets. Although he was going to look into what had made his new student so determined to hide from reality, that would have to wait. Right now Reborn needed a way to get his new student to focus without drifting back into the Dreaming a Sky with too many Mists was prone to.

What to do?

Hm. Perhaps Reborn should try going the traditional route. The Japanese liked tradition, right?

Now, who did Reborn know that would be a shiny enough distraction for a Sky of Tsuna’s potential strength?

… Ah. Yes, that would do nicely.

/…/

At first Reborn had debated dropping the bait in front of Tsuna in class, but as hilarious as that might have been at another time, nothing Tsuna had done so far was in any way predictable. As much as Reborn was enjoying both the chaos that followed his new student and the challenge of figuring out Namimori’s secrets, Reborn would never risk actually breaking Omertà.

So Reborn decided to do some creative editing with his first idea and rewrote the scene he had initially had in mind for maximum effect.

/…/

At first Tsuna had no idea what to make of his new home tutor. Reborn was tiny as an infant but was actually older than Tsuna’s parents and the first thing Reborn had tried to do was shoot him in the head and if Kyouya-sempai had been even a little bit slower… 

Reborn insisted that the bullets would not have killed him, but Tsuna really, really did not want to be shot even non-fatally by someone who was visibly plotting messy murder every time Tsuna’s dad came up in the conversation. Sure, Reborn was better about treating Tsuna fairly now that they had gotten to know each other a bit better, but Tsuna still could not shake the feeling that if Tsuna had been a disappointing student Reborn would have taken his dislike for Iemitsu out of Tsuna’s hide. What was strange, and also worrisome, to consider was that Reborn was apparently here as a favour for Tsuna’s father. Why Reborn was doing favours for a man he visibly and verbally disdained was a question Tsuna was not certain he wanted answered.

If Tsuna got too nosy then Reborn might stop being polite about Tsuna’s secrets, and Tsuna’s secrets were not just about him. So Tsuna was content to let the unspoken truce hold.

“Let’s go, Tsuna.” Reborn toddled cheerfully towards the park, and Tsuna felt a sudden chill when he realized that all of his treasures were nowhere nearby. “We have a meeting.”

“Wait, Reborn!” Someone only less than two feet tall should not be capable of dragging four times their bodyweight down the street. This was unfair. Tsuna squeaked as he tripped and scrambled to stay upright. “What meeting?”

“A personal meeting.” Dark eyes gleamed from under the shade of his fedora, and Reborn smirked before letting Tsuna go. “Watch and learn something, Dame-Tsuna.”

/…/

There was a slim figure lounging in the shade of a sakura tree, dapples of light catching on silver chains and coloured stones. “Reborn.”

“Smoking Bomb.” Reborn hopped down off Tsuna’s shoulder to approach the younger hitman. Normally Reborn liked to work his students into a frenzy first to teach them how to think through their initial instinct to panic, but Tsuna was the type to need plain statements. So while the idea all but gave Reborn hives, he was going to show his silly student that someone Tsuna’s own age could earn and keep respect in their world before he started training Tsuna to fight. “You made good time.”

“You made me an offer worthy of a little extra effort.” Stepping out into the light, the explosive expert’s narrowed green eyes raked over Tsuna with clear interest. “A new student?”

“You see now why I asked for speed.” Reborn hid his triumph as the bomber hummed absently and handed over the information Reborn had asked him to gather. Pulling the strings to get Shamal’s protege to come to Namimori personally had been worth it, especially since Reborn had taken the calculated risk of not mentioning he was tutoring a Sky. Smoking Bomb was clearly interested in Tsuna despite managing to stay professional. That was almost secondary to the report the younger hitman had put together on the state of the Alliance and and a bluntly analytical profile on Sawada Iemitsu. This was the kind of report Reborn had been expecting from the CEDEF. “Hm. You do good work, Smoking Bomb. The money will be in your account by tonight, and I will ask my daughter if she would like to meet with your sister.”

“It’s appreciated, Reborn.” Business concluded, there was no reason to linger and every reason to leave, but the silver haired teen hesitated, just as Reborn had expected. The silence stretched just a bit to long as Smoking Bomb stared at Reborn’s student with intent eyes. Finally, the younger hitman shook his head. “Name’s Gokudera Hayato, called the Smoking Bomb. I work freelance, so if you need a job done Reborn can put you in touch with me. Ciao.”

Inclining his head in a quick acknowledgement, the silver haired teen moved to depart before he embarrassed himself. Reborn saw the regret sear itself across Tsuna’s face and took the shot.

Bang!

Gokudera whirled around, face slack with horror as the Sky crumpled.

One knee on the ground, Tsuna’s hand closed around the bomber’s wrist. Gokudera froze in place, arms still out to catch the other boy. 

Reborn peered up at his student in confusion. Tsuna had been oddly quiet since the first time Gokudera had spoken, and now that he had finally managed to hit Tsuna with the special bullet Reborn had been expecting more in the way of ardent declarations. There were no Flames, and Tsuna’s clothes had remained intact. Instead of Hyper Dying Will mode, Tsuna was giving off the impression of a sealed pot set to boil, building pressure that was about to…

BOOM!!

… explode. On his back in the bushes several meters from where he had been standing, Reborn blinked rapidly as his ears rang in the aftermath of Tsuna going up like a small atom bomb made of Flames. Ow.

/…/

Mine. 

Rusted chains falling away, too-small cage finally broken open. 

Mine.

Free for the first time since his father and the old man had tried to damp his inner fire.

Mine.

His heart beating all out of rhythm as he scrambled to catch the fragile treasure fallen into his grasp without causing damage. Something precious and unique, old hurts gleaming silver and gold where the scars had healed over.

“Mine.” Tsuna curled in on himself, wanting to gather his new treasure close but terrified of sending shattered pieces scattering into dust. “Please?”

Sprawled out in the gentle cradle of Tsuna’s paws, Gokudera was a crimson opal, fractals of violet-blue-green-gold flaring in brilliant colour against the amber of Tsuna’s claws. “… Eh?”

“Please?” A whine was building in Tsuna’s throat. How was he supposed to ask? His other treasures had always been his. They had helped Tsuna chip away at the fetters his father had laid on Tsuna’s inner fire. They had been there to help despite Tsuna being crippled and weak. He was supposed to defend his hoard, but they defended Tsuna too. Tsuna had the best hoard, and he had never before considered wanting more but… “Mine.”

“… my Sky is a UMA?” Pale, scarred fingers pressing against Tsuna’s muzzle, patting gently like his pretty treasure thought Tsuna might reject the touch. The silver haired teen was mumbling in strange tongues even as he relaxed into the Harmony Tsuna offered, touch growing more sure as Tsuna pulled Gokudera closer. 

Rumbling happily, Tsuna coiled up around the newest member of his hoard and simply basked smugly in his triumph. Tsuna had the best hoard. He bet nobody else had a treasure with five colours. Ha!

/…/

Up a nearby tree and not planning to climb down any time soon, Reborn stared in utter shock as the giant supernatural lizard that was supposed to be his student cuddled the Hurricane of Flames most of the gossip painted as too complicated to ever properly bond. Well, Tsuna was happily proving them wrong, even if he did currently look like something that belonged in an illuminated book of fairy tales.

Sure, Skies hatched from eggs when they woke their Flames and they were jealous of their Guardian’s attention and tended to collect large amounts of wealth, but… yeah. Never mind, Reborn was not even convincing himself that this was impossible.

What the hell had caused the transformation though? Reborn had shot other Skies with the special bullets, and none of them had physically transformed into dragons. What was different about Tsuna? What the fuck else had Bakamitsu left out of his report?

/…/

Half a world away, an old man ruled his Family with a kind smile and an iron Will. He hoped Reborn took to young Tsunayoshi. While it was regrettable that he had needed to Seal the child back then, at the time it had been for the greater good of the Family. A Sky that pure and that strong would have attracted too much attention and destabilized the succession. The situation with Xanxus had been bad enough, and he as still dealing with the fallout from the public backlash of claiming the boy even years later. 

Still, Reborn would be able to teach Tsunayoshi enough to get by as the new Heir despite the Seal. It was a moot point anyway. Hyper Dying Will mode would break the Seal on Tsunayoshi’s Flames, and Reborn would be able to claim the credit for the boy’s eventual strength.

After all, the only ones who knew Tsunayoshi had woken his Flames once before were Iemitsu and himself, and Iemitsu knew better than to spread that information around. Sealed or latent, who would be able to tell after Tsunayoshi was Active without knowing that little fact? It would all work out for the better this way.

/…/

Under the Iron Fort, a glacier strung with chains sat in the centre of the darkened catacombs. The ice shuddered, cracked.

Shattered. 

Ice vanished into steam as a nightmare of blood-amber scales unfurled massive wings with a scream of enraged triumph.

=/=

So it turns out that sealing an Active Sky equals dragons when the seal goes away! The More You Know.

Welcome to the Godzilla Threshold, Timoteo. *blows kisses*

Much Ado About SPN

Friends, writers, tumblr people, lend me your ears...

For those of you who do not know, I (Angel, @whispersandwhiskerburn) am a teacher. I love to teach writing and reading to students—and I love reading and writing fanfiction. So, when I reached the AMAZING milestone of 1.5K FOLLOWERS, I decided to celebrate with my fellow writers with a challenge that marries the two—my love of teaching literature and writing and my love of spn fanfiction.

Every writer goes on a journey. They start with the ABCs and it's amazing how many wonders just 26 letters can create—it's all about how you use them. Of course, reading helps; good readers become good writers, and good writers are always looking for a way to challenge themselves, in reading and writing. One of the most challenging, most famous, and best writers that ever lived made wonderful stories that are read and taught to this day—all with the same 26 letters that we use.

So, that's the inspiration for this challenge. The letters of the alphabet—and one of the greatest writers of all time: William Shakespeare.

The idea is to use at least two (all three if you can) of the alphabet prompts AND the Shakespeare line—you do NOT have to use Shakespeare's wording, just be inspired by the theme of the quote.

Rules and Accepting the Challenge:

1. Must be following me....it's a follower celebration, so yeah. New followers are welcome though, so feel free to follow, then ask. :)

2. Send an ASK with your requested prompt by letter and quote number. First come, first choice—and there are only 25 prompts (I deleted x) so you'd better hurry! I want to give everyone a chance to sign up, so don't ask for a second prompt until after March 10th, please!        NOTE: If you ask anonymously...you're silly. I can't sign you up if I don't know who you are?

3. Any character from the show is welcome, but not cast members for this challenge (Dean/Sam/Castiel etc., not Jensen/Jared/Misha). Ships are fine, (exceptions: no non-con and no Samifer, since Lucifer totally raped him) but reader-inserts are preferred.

4. Any genre: SFW, NSFW, AU, angst, fluff, smut, or any combination thereof, just please tag appropriately.

5. No maximum length limit, but if it is more than 800 words, include a read-more link, or I won't reblog it. Should be at least 500 words. One shots, drabbles, series pieces, combinations with other challenges/requests—all are totally cool.

6. Tag me (@whispersandwhiskerburn) in the header somewhere. I will reblog these with feedback and add them all to a masterlist. I want to post the masterlist on Shakespeare's birthday which is celebrated on April 23rd, so the deadline for fics is April 20th. Also, please tag the fic with #MuchAdoAboutSPN and #Angel's1.5k within the first 5 tags.

7. Try and post your fic on or before the day it’s due, April 20th 2017, but it’s okay if it’s late. Life happens!

8. Have fun!!

Sign Ups! Once a prompt combo has been chosen, I will write the blog's name beside the letter and move the Shakespearean quote to this list. Any Shakespearean quotes still under the prompts lower in this post are still up for grabs. If the letter in this section has a blog tag beside it, it's taken, so ask for a different one! Happy writing everyone (and if you want to discuss your quote, please message or ask me—I'm an English teacher who loves Shakespeare, so bring it)!

STATUS: Prompts are closed everyone! Deadline is April 20th, and I look forward to your fics!

Alphabet Prompts (A-Z): Choose a letter and (if I give you the okay!) include at least 2 (3 if you can) of the associated SPN topics in your fic.

**You'll notice that none of the major characters of the show are listed—anyone can write about Dean, even if they don't have the letter D. These characters/objects/themes need to appear in your fic, and should have some importance to plot, but just because you choose Meg Masters, it doesn’t mean you have to write a Meg x Reader fic (though, if you want to, that’s cool too), savvy?

Shakespeare Quotes/Phrases (1-40): Choose a Shakespearean line and (if I give you the okay!) let it inspire your fic. You certainly can, but you do not have to include Shakespeare's actual words in your writing. Like I tell my students, “The Bard (Shakespeare) wrote in a different time and the language has changed. That doesn't mean that what he has to say isn't still relevant—you've just got to look harder.”

The LEFTOVERS....

Drinking Writing Challenge!!

So I made a post last night wondering if you all would be interested in doing a drinking writing challenge for my 21st birthday that’s coming up in 2 months and the response was awesome!!!

Everything will be due at the end of March! So you can start posting fics March 1st and it will end March 31st, if you need an extension just shoot me a message and let me know :)

I am going to make a list below the cut with the name of an alcohol bottle/drink/whatever lol (ie: Jack Daniels Whiskey, Pinnacle Vodka, and so on) and then along with that will be a stupid funny quote that one might say while drunk or one might say to someone who is drunk. 

You can take your prompt any way that you would like and it can be as lengthy or as short as you want it. There is no minimum or maximum word count!

Look over the list and shoot me an ask as to which number you would like. 

You don’t have to be following me for this but hey if you think I’m awesome then go for it lol ;)

The fics you post can be literally whatever you want them to be. Smut, angst, fluff….whatever, but just know you need tag and warn about things that may be triggering to others. 

If you could please use the tag #Rose’s Birthday Drinking Challenge that would be very much appreciated. 

Also at the beginning of your fic let me know what pairing, alcohol and quote you had!! And please be sure to tag me so I can read all your wonderful fics!!

NOW LET’S DO THIS!!!

Now these can be whatever flavor you want them to be as long as it’s that brand name!! :D (And yes a lot will be whiskey/vodka bc that’s mostly what I drink anyways lmao and don’t laugh or ask which ones I have said in real life because a good majority of them I have actually said and some I highly regret hahahaha)

How Pinterest Nailed Personalization With These Festive Campaigns

Now that Halloween and Thanksgiving have come and gone, it’s officially gift-giving season!

Let’s welcome the chaos of crowded department stores, delays in shipping, and the ever-too-often “I have no idea what to buy anyone on my list” concerns.

But seriously -- every single year, I struggle with choosing gifts for my family and friends. If only there was a tool that made it easy…

This holiday season, Pinterest has answered this cry of desperation.

According to an article on Marketing Land, the social network has partnered with big brands like Kohl’s, Macy’s, and Lowe’s to help users find gifts their loved ones will rave about.

What’s more, Pinterest and Etsy have also teamed up to bring personalized shopping to the next level and give marketers something to envy.

Let’s take a closer look at these two unique, interactive offers and what makes them special.

Pinterest’s Gift Globes

In this offer, Kohl’s, Macy’s, and Lowe’s have all partnered with Pinterest to create their own digital gift snowglobes.

Here’s how they work:

1. While scrolling through your Pinterest feed, you’ll encounter the promoted Gift Globe pins. I happened to stumble upon Lowe’s first. When I clicked on the pin, it brought up the Magic Gift Globe, and while scrolling, it prompted me to get started.

2. You’re then asked to type in who you’re shopping for. It seems the person needs to have a Pinterest account for these tools by default, so make sure you find their profile in the drop-down.

However, if the person you’re shopping for is not on Pinterest, there’s a helpful option for that, as well.

Once you’ve entered the name of the person you’re shopping for, the Gift Globe will list some ideas that they may be interested in based on what they’ve pinned in the past.

You can then click on a category to remove it if you don’t think it belongs, or you can add additional categories.

The best part, though, is what comes next -- you’re prompted to actually shake your phone like you would shake a real snow globe!

3. After you’ve shaken your phone, the Gift Globe comes up with a personalized gift suggestion, and you’re encouraged to “Buy It Now” right from the app.

In an effort to promote the globes, each of the three brands is using Pinterest Promoted Videos at maximum width or Promoted Pins to drive more users to their customized platform.

The Etsy Gift Finder

Similar to the Gift Globes, The Etsy Gift Finder helps you discover the perfect holiday gift for each person on your list using personalization.

Etsy is also promoting this tool using maximum-width Promoted Videos and Promoted Pins within the Pinterest platform like its globe counterparts.

Here’s how it works:

1. Just like the Lowe’s Gift Globe, The Etsy Gift Finder showed up in my Pinterest feed. (Though, alternatively, you can also visit https://etsygiftfinder.com/.)

When clicking the pin and scrolling down in the tool, a gift tag will appear.

2. Once there, you can then enter information in the appropriate spaces, including the type of gift, the person you’re shopping for, and what their interests are.

Click “Find Gifts Now,” and Etsy will curate a page of items straight from their online shop.

Why Should Marketers Care?

With the holiday season now upon us, it’s vital that you start -- if you haven’t already -- thinking about compelling campaigns to promote your brand. Everyone is vying for the consumer’s attention this season, so whatever you do needs to stand out.

It’s important to note that buyers are more in-tune than ever with personalized shopping and experiences. In fact, OptinMonster mentions that Gartner predicts that eCommerce businesses that personalize successfully could see profits rise by 15% by 2020.

As a result, Pinterest states that in order to stand out from the competition, companies should shift their focus to provide better shopping experiences, not just better deals, with more personalized experiences.

What’s more, mobile commerce (or m-commerce) is expected to account for 44% of total holiday eCommerce spending this year, so make sure your mobile shopping experience is fully optimized.

With all of the above said, here are a few things to remember when planning your holiday campaign:

Ensure your ads are mobile-friendly, so you can reach your audience on any device.

Visuals help people find what they’re looking for much faster, so leverage graphics where it’s appropriate.

Make it easy for someone to get to where they want to be; avoid fluff, and keep the end goal in mind.

Use personalization tactics that make sense for your business. Some examples include using geo-location targeting, showing product recommendations based on previous actions or browsing behavior, and like Pinterest and other big brands are doing, personalizing search results.

Remember, personalization doesn’t have to be used just for holiday campaigns.

Depending on your audience’s website behavior, try implementing strategies that include smart content to better target your visitors and create more effective and defined journeys.
