Martin Bothier (ESC 2013) and Rushmix suggest you use all these shots to produce a video compilation. Your memories are therefore immortalised, and with some style. A professional video compilation will be sent to you within 72 hours.

Socially aware giving and selling of gifts

We have all received a duplicate gift, or one the wrong size. If this happens to you this year, then give a thought to social responsibility and #bonesprit - you can sell unwanted gifts on www.cestbonesprit.fr, or donate the proceeds from any sale to charity. It also works if you want to give presents in a socially responsible way. This idea from Julien-Pierre Savin (ISLI 2000) means you can spread some happiness from your sale and doing the right thing.
