The Perfect Gift

This year, Waitrose didn’t just make another festive ad, they launched an industry first, four minute rom-com, directed by Molly Manners, breaking norms of traditional supermarket Christmas ads; scheduled as film on ITV, rather than in the ad break. When widower Phil has a chance meet-cute at the cheese counter with crush, Keira Knightley, they spark an unlikely romance built over a shared love of food. When Phil spots a mysterious gift to Keira from ‘Mark’, panic sets in, prompting his mum to remind him that ‘cooking for someone is love’. But can Phil cook his way to her heart?
