PR Newswire (US)
Gifts that marry function, style and creativity top the "must-have"
list NAPERVILLE, Ill., Nov. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
OfficeMax(R) (NYSE:OMX), a leading provider of office products and
services, announced today that function, style and creativity are
the key motivators behind many gift hunts for the 2007 holiday
season. OfficeMax is featuring an expanded technology selection to
include a new generation of digital photo cameras, printers,
digital photo frames and new HP Notebook and Desktop holiday
bundles, made exclusively for OfficeMax. In addition, OfficeMax
ImPress(TM), OfficeMax's print and document services, has enhanced
its selection of customizable calendars and holiday cards in
keeping with the current trend of giving personalized calendars and
holiday cards as keepsake items. "This year our customers are
looking for gifts that are useful and fun, so they are frequently
used and appreciated and not just left to sit on a shelf," said
Ryan Vero, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer
for OfficeMax. "In addition to finding a special gift that is
functional and appreciated, style is a key factor in gift
selection. While some gifts, such as furniture, are understandably
driven by style, even more traditional office supplies, such as
paper shredders and organization goods, are becoming more style
dependent." OfficeMax Top Featured Items for the 2007 Holiday
