There aren't many presents that can beat receiving your first bike.
Eschewing all the glitz and glamour of rival festive campaigns (and, let's face it, there are enough that throw ALL of the tinsel at the screen), Karmarama have crafted a beautifully simple 20-second film for Halfords relishing in the pure joy getting a cycle-shaped parcel for Christmas can bring.
Entitled The Gift that Keeps on Giving, the spot follows a young girl making her fledgling pedals on her new freedom-machine, with nothing else needing to be said.
