Christmas items sales splutter in the rain

H&H-Money-Box

There are seven new entries and 10 re-entries in the GTN Bestsellers Christmas Products charts this week as garden centre customers get into the festive spirit.

Sales volumes are gathering momentum as our data shows they’re 17% higher than the previous week, although they were down on the same time last year.

History & Heraldry have had a good sales week with their popular Christmas Money Box replacing Christmas Carousel Charms at the top.

Their Christmas Tea Light Carousel and Charm Set is the highest new entry, jumping straight to No 5, followed by Snowy Night Christmas and Waiting for Santa Stockings.

Premier Decorations have two battery-operated newcomers in Dancing Flame Candle and Water Spinner Christmas Tree. Their Christmas Glasses (assorted designs) are the highest climber, moving up 30 places to No 19.

And to complete a good week for Premier, their Christmas Metal Hooks earn the highest re-entry accolade, coming into the chart at No 25.

Kaemingk have a new entry in their Glass Hurricane Lamp with Star.
