Surprise gifts from Ziploc® brand reminded families that the chaos of holiday travels can be managed for better travels and more fun!
When hundreds of people along the Ohio Turnpike got to the tollbooth at Mile Marker 71 before their Thanksgiving celebrations began, they were surprised that instead of being asked for the toll, they received an array of gifts—from snacks packed in Ziploc® brand bags and containers to a chauffeured limo ride home.
The resulting video reveals how the gifts came from Ziploc® brand to remind people that holiday chaos can be easily managed for better travels and more fun.
Ziploc® brand is also providing travelers, whether on the road or in the air, with ways to make their trips a little less hectic:
Always pack children's items last. From diapers and snacks to toys and toiletries, children's needs are often more urgent, so their items should always be accessible – not buried under a pile.
Bring new toys, books and magazines. Buying new books, toys or coloring books that the kids have never seen before will hold their attention throughout the trip. Ziploc® brand bags with Easy Open Tabs help keep everything organized in their travel bag, and are easy to grip and open.
Create memories. Apart from taking photos, there are lots of ways to preserve memories. Buy postcards or snow globes and keep a journal or make a scrapbook.
Snacks on wheels. Munching is a required activity on road trips, but try to keep it healthy. Pre-pack favorite snacks, such as carrots, pretzels or crackers in Ziploc® brand Containers with One Press Seal, available in decorative blue, red, gold and green.
