A whole NEW world from Smart Garden
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

Christmas is Smart Garden’s fastest growing category and in 2026 we are launching more products than ever before – over 1,000 new lines including Autumn and Halloween! 

 

Building on the success of previous years, you can expect to find extensions to many of your favourite Three Kings ranges as well as completely new collections.

 

The latest Gonks & Plush Figurines bring unprecedented levels of cuteness and fun to the Christmas party. Roll up, roll up and watch our adorable Circus Lions and Elephants steal the show! Or, take a deep dive into the “ChristmaSea” collection of Crayfish, Crabs and Octopus… each with their own unique personalities! And that’s just for starters…

 

There are plenty of additions to discover across Inlit Décor, Lanterns, SnowScenes and Whimscapes. From scene-stealing “Titan” lighting pieces to quirky Christmas village collectibles set in telephone boxes, rockets and ships, we have really pushed the boat out – in more ways than one!

 

And as if that’s not enough to get you excited, we are introducing a completely new range of Low Voltage String Lights, including Tree Lights, Clusters and Icicles in all the most popular colours and lengths. We are confident that the distinctive packaging along with uber-competitive pricing will help maximise sales in this key category.

 

Alongside our festive endeavours, we are responding to a burgeoning Halloween market by unleashing lots of family-friendly products plus a new foray into “Super Scary” characters – it’s quite a Boonanza! Autumn gets a boost as well, with a wealth of new designs and colours for even stronger in-store impact – all offering unbeleafable value!

 

Along with a Christmas Pet collection, the Smart seasonal offers have never look so good, so please come and visit us at out Peterborough showrooms where you can be assured of a warm welcome.
