Moreover in product choice preference aspect, a greater parts of respondents will choose the home decoration, and thermos product and stationary are also the categories they will choose for other usually. The reason why gift choice preference is big different to the female, the research data also indicated that the male are more concerning on functional and design instead of female care on luxury or trendy, it men’s buying process is more rationality. And also, the research found that the safety and unisex color combination for example pastel color, metallic color and warm color would be higher chance to choose.

Theme 2 - Romantic gardener ‘Romantic Gardener’ represents the merge of classic and modern elements, Which is targeted the Gen Z male who is in a relationship. This theme also develops from WEDGWOOD gift culture because the result of primary research states, one of a choice that they will buy the gift for their lover, especially on Valentine days. In addition, home decoration and aromatherapy product as popular choices at Gen Z male gift variety, therefore, the following products with combine some elements of home decoration and aromatherapy products. A Valentine day’s romantic story that has a chapter said leading actress - Julia in order to commemorate the dead leading male actor - Saint Valentine, therefore, a pink-blossomed almond tree was planted nearby his grave by Julia (Awesome stories, 2015). Concerning to the storytelling, the inspiration of the theme comes from the above story. Until today, the almond tree already as a symbol of love and friendship. Consequently, plants will be the main of developing elements in this theme. Moreover, as we all know giving flowers or plants for a favorite mate is a traditional activity in the relationship.
Concerning the color palette, basically, a majority of Organism will try using color to attract opposite sex (Serene Interiors, N.D.). Besides, color can give different feeling for people. For example, pink has an interesting ability which can halt the people stay angry status, purple is unpredictable, mysterious and full of enthusiasm. The use of pastel color will represent the pure and happiness of love. The soft pink, milk white and creamy yellow is representing the sweet of love, also the rose red and purple is highlighted to show the hot and passionate. Green is willing to adding more nature and organic feeling to keeping the freshness in love. Accordingly, it will apply the pastel color tone to present the romantic and soft feeling. At last, it can see the findings of Gen Z male survey (Appendices.? Q6) shows that pastel color also is an orientation choice for them. Regarding design elements, owing to the needs of combination romantic appearance and functionality, it will focus on appearance and divide into three parts, crystal ball concept, geometric terrariums, and eternal plants. So as to reach the above demands, the design inspired by garden factors. Then, the products category is bathroom goods since the bathroom is a private place hence only lover have the qualifications to give the bathroom products. Moreover, consider the suitable materials via the trend forecast, such as resin is easy to apply at different goods to make a unique look or put something inside to increase the uniqueness. Also, the resin has waterproof function and prevent broke. On the other hand, porcelain also is the main materials. It will apply inside of the resin or product that can offer a delicate design furthermore it will be protected by the resin.
Theme 3 - Catch the moment ‘Catch the moment’ is a gift direction for generation z giving their partner in special day such as birthday, anniversary, graduation day. Generation z is aged at the most happiness age surrounded with love and care. They faced many environmental changes such as graduation and relationship broken up. Also mental and physical changes in puberty process can be captured in life. By using memories as main theme which recorded their life. Also personalize products are highlighted for creating uniqueness and self identity. There are three seasonal statements. The first one is personalized products. Based on research, generation z interested in unique and limited goods. Customized product gave a high freedom and creative. Customer can add on their own idea for a meaningful gift. The second one is moments.They used photography recording their life especially share in social media. The third is entry product. By providing small and available goods for gen z as an entry product. Then educated and attracted them purchased main line product like teaware set in future especially gifts for partner, housewarming, wedding.
The main colour is Wedgwood tone introducing Wedgwood classic colour to generation z. Keep the traditional culture for new collection. The sub-colour is metallic colour. Metallic balloon and decoration highlight the celebration mood. Also create a modern atmosphere. The main pattern is referred to current Wedgwood floral pattern and arris for introducing the traditional pattern for generation z. Three design elements used. Firstly, Modern. By using Wedgwood classic blue and Arris as based, added metallic sterling metal as highlight for modern atmosphere. Secondly, Happiness. Since most of generation z are single kids, they values friendship and relationship. Sharing happiness and love become an element in this theme. Thirdly, Memories. Building and rewinding memories. Catch the memories and remind this beautiful moment when growing up. Sterling metal is chosen for the main materials because it can lower the production cost but the luxury image with Wedgwood. Generation z prefer home decoration and stationery as gifts (Appendices.b Q5). So ‘ Catch the moments’ main product category are stationary and home decoration including ball pen, photo album, post card, photo grid, calendar and schedule book.
Conclusion
The gift culture - the biggest rationale and development space matching with Wedgwood brand historical identity for targeting generation Z male. Due to past brand image, it is not suitable for directly focus the Gen Z younger and men consumer, so that it used the indirect method to approach this group of consumer. From the research, we know that most of generation Z male are care about maintain the healthy relationship with other for example family, lover, friends etc. And also, most of generation Z male willing to spend their money and time to others. From this culture, this proposal proposed three kinds of direction to develop the new product imperceptibly to build up positive and luxury brand image of Wedgwood. These three theme also inspired by the lifestyle trend prediction and research of generation Z basis, the products also consider to the preference and behavior of this generation and gender.
In this lifestyle and trend prediction report, it found that the generation Z is pursue on more high quality lifestyle due to they can easily receive the global information through the internet. And also, they will more pursue on more quickly, convenient and immediately things whatever the product, service or communication. It means that if Wedgwood want to target this generation group male consumer, the product development would be involve these three aspects or elements into the design. Lastly, it is the currently existing retail environment of the generation Z male in Hong Kong context, most of them are seeking on cost-effective products rather than luxury products, also they can easily conduct the price comparison through the internet if they desire to buy some premium stuff. But in reality, existing Wedgwood are standing in the luxury positioning, just opposite to the cost-effective products, that is one of reason why the brand can’t reach the generation Z consumer. To solve, the new product range might be a better way to sell in separated, but also can integrated in one frame and offer different combination within the collection to achieve the preference and demand of this targeted group.
