Christmas product sales are getting personal
 
Personalised Christmas products are selling better than ever before. History and Heraldry lead the way but this year they are joined by lines from Suki and a new your “Name in lights” line from Royal County.

Overall half term has been a bonanza for Christmas sales, up 121% on week 43 last year, but also nearly reaching the peak Christmas weeks 49 and 50 of last year.

Here are the highlights:
  • Suki Personalised Angel Ornament was the highest new entry.
  • Premier 7.5cm Battery Operated LED EVA Robin with Hat was the highest re-entry.
