The Ungiftables. We all have them. Those people in your life who are seemingly impossible to shop for.
At Mojave, we played off this universal truth to create a series of fun, interactive characters for CafePress. From the Emo Nephew (played by Jake Bern) to the Critical Mother-in-Law (Kelly Hazen), the site lets you interact with video and sort through CafePress’s 150 million gift ideas to find a perfect gift. Mojave wrote, cast, shot and built the entire flash application.
Check it out, you might just find the perfect gift for your own ‘ungiftable’.
