After the dreary end to September, the first week of October saw Christmas sales soar by almost 200% and were on a par with 2017 levels for early October.
That’s a good omen as 2017 was the highest Christmas for sales volumes that we’ve ever recorded from the GTN Bestsellers Epos data. Could we be on for another bumper season?
Christmas chocolates fare well again even though the Lindt Teddy bear drops to No 2.
The Lindt Mini Advent calendar and the Lindt mini snowmen are both new entries in the GTN Christmas Top 50.
Kaemingk’s Owl Glass Bauble 6cm is the highest new entry for the week, in at No 7.
Two Kings and Queens Christmas Doormats from Smart Garden Products are high placed new entries this week too at No’s 10 & 11.
