Christmas sales ease off after busy period
As stocks are selling out the foot has eased off on the accelerator for Christmas sales. Selling out of individual lines appears to have happened more than ever this year as it’s notable that more products than usual have featured in our GTN Bestsellers Christmas charts. 

Next week we’ll do an analysis to see how many products have been in the Top 50.

Here are the highlights:
  • Snowtime LED Snowman Colour Changing Water Ball was the highest new entry at No 20.
  • Premier Red Berry Pick was the highest re-entry at No 9.
  • Festive Gold Butterfly Pick was the highest climber, jumping 28 places to No 18.
