UGG: MAKE IT A FEELING
What if choosing an UGG gift wasn't about finding the right product first?
What if it started with who they are, how they spend their time, and how you want them to feel?
UGG becomes the destination.
A NYC holiday pop-up transforms the UGG gifting journey into a train station / airport journey home, where every stop reveals a different feeling.
THE EXPERIENCE
NOW BOARDING: NYC ā HOME
Guests enter through an elevated NYC departure station.
At check-in, they're invited to answer one simple question:

From there, the UGG Feeling Match begins.
This can also be replicated in other cities such as an LA West Coast drive-thru.
02 | OCCASION
When do they feel most themselves?
Slow Sunday morning
Running around the city
Getting ready for a night out
Weekend away
03 | FEELING
What do you want them to feel?
Comfort
Confidence
Adventure
Joy
PERSONALITY + OCCASION + FEELING = THEIR UGG MATCH

HOME IS A FEELING.
After discovering their feeling, guests arrive at their personalized UGG recommendation.
YOUR FEELING MATCH:
HOME - Classic Mini II + Cozy Accessory
The feeling you're giving:
Home, wherever they are.
But the experience doesn't end with the product.
Guests fill out a Feeling Card explaining why they chose it.
For the person who made this city feel like home.
For every Sunday morning we spend doing absolutely nothing.
For all the places we're going next.
You make everywhere feel like home.
THE GIFT ISN'T JUST PERSONALIZED.
THE REASON BEHIND IT IS.
WHY IT WORKS FOR UGG
UGG isn't just selling something soft or comfortable. It's selling the feeling attached to it.
IT MAKES THE PRODUCT EMOTIONAL
1
The experience starts with knowing the person, not choosing the product.
IT MAKES GIFTING PERSONAL
2
Comfort, self-expression, community and iconic UGG products become physical destinations.
IT BRINGS THE UGG WORLD TO LIFE
3
IT GIVES NYC A ROLE
IT CREATES A REASON TO VISIT
4
The journey starts in New York, but ends somewhere more universal:
Home.
The experience gives shoppers something they can't get from simply browsing a product page.
THE FINAL ARRIVAL
Guests walk through a final set of arrival doors.
The departure board disappears.
The noise of the city fades.
One final message:
HOME IS A FEELING.
UGG: MAKE IT A FEELING.
A gift that says more than "I got you something."
It says: "I know you."
