Free Gift Bag's- Clever Bag Designs

As part of the promotion of the Lynx Condom range, we should consider doing a free gift bag give away.
Yesterday I saw a stand in the middle of Nottingham Market Square, giving away mini cans of Fanta to promote their new 'Grab a taste of friday'campaign. Seeing this bright, vibrant stand, giving something away for free gained much consumer attention, including my own. This would be a great way to do a give away to consumers, the stand could be a pop-up which visits different key citys promotiong the new range.

In the gift bags we could give away a several Lynx Condoms, A Lynx Bullet, A Lynx Shower Gel and also thought something novelty like a badge promotiong the range?

Here are some bag designs, which we could use as inspiration.

Condomi shopper bag- i feel we should create something less explicit, to appeal to younger consumers and to be be coherant with the brand message- the less embarrassing choice of condom.
