Give The Gift Of Smirnoff
As an adult, the holidays can be, well—predictable. You work entirely too hard to sit through another boring White Elephant office party and pretend that you actually love those mugs you won—sorry lady from finance, but how many mugs can one person have?!
To spice up the gift giving season, Smirnoff Ice has created three cardboard boxes that look like luxury (admittedly boring) appliances, but when the unexpecting gift recipient opens their box of hangers or mini ironing board they are sure to be surprised when they find the real prize inside—a bottle of Smirnoff Ice!
Have a White Elephant party coming up? Don’t panic. The boxes, sold under the name Cremsiffino (an anagram for Smirnoff Ice), are available for purchase starting today for $20 (plus shipping) from giftagram.com/smirnofficeboxes. If you live in a state where GiftAGram cannot ship alcohol, just purchase the box by itself for $10 and add in your own bottle of Smirnoff Ice once it arrives!
It’s time to end the decade the right way and surprise your friends or favorite coworker (over the age of 21, of course) with a gift they won’t see coming – wrap and it’s ready to be gifted! Just be sure to remind the recipient to chill their bottle of Smirnoff Ice Originally before enjoying for the holidays.

Crown Royal And Jimmy Butler Make Great Teammates
Last week, Crown Royal Regal Apple teamed up with four-time NBA All Star Jimmy Butler Miami native and multimedia artist D’ana of COVL to unveil THE ROYAL COURT in Miami during Art Week.
Through The Royal Court, which was designed by D’ana of COVL, Crown Royal Regal Apple refurbished a beloved neighborhood basketball court in Miami and turned it into a remarkable piece of art that the whole community will enjoy. In addition to refurbishing Southside Park basketball court, there were merch giveaways and activations that bridge together the intersections of art, culture, and basketball while inspiring a fresh new wave of creativity and inspiration for Miami’s residents.
Crown Royal Regal Apple and Jimmy Butler were natural partners, both with a deep respect for crisp culture, creativity, and creators. Neither ascribes to the typical stereotypes of what athletes or whiskey brands should be, and instead brought to life a shared vision of inclusion that gives back to the city of Miami.
While other brands come to Miami Art Week for one weekend, Crown Royal Regal Apple wanted to partner with Jimmy Butler to focus attention on creating experiences, products and opportunities that continue to give back to Miami’s New Royalty – artists, athletes, creators and leaders – and Miami at-large long after the weekend ends.
