Although new to GTN, GiftScribes Gifts Limited has been providing a comprehensive range of high quality Christmas decorations and beautiful piggy banks to the giftware industry - as a specialist wholesale distributor, for more than 10 years.
GiftScribes is a family-run, Midlands-based importer that offers two core product lines; the uniquely personalisable ‘Rudolph & Me Inc.’ Christmas tree decorations and the ‘This Little Piggy Inc.’ piggy banks. Complementing these American-sourced products are a selection of table top decorations and photo frames, the combined range offering nearly 400 individual products.
Since the business started in 2007, the Rudolph & Me Inc. range of beautiful, design-led Christmas decorations has seen growing demand. Each individual product can be personalised - with hand-written names or greetings - at the point of sale by the retailer and it is this USP that transforms every thoughtful gift into a personal and permanent keepsake. Every one of the resin-based products has a high quality ceramic look and feel and each comes complete with a glossy gift bag. Designs include snowmen, reindeer, Santa’s sleigh and a stocking full of presents, as well as a magical castle, a fairy, a Choo Choo train, gingerbread men, penguins . . . the choice goes on! Surprisingly, for a seasonal line, the demand is not just limited to November and December and orders are placed throughout the calendar year.
The popular and perennial ‘This Little Piggy Inc.’ range of piggy banks features a choice of 11 large pigs and 13 small pigs. Products include traditional pigs with contemporary designs as well as a castle, dinosaur, jungle animals, cow, ladybirds and a football. Every piggy bank is made from sturdy ceramic with a hard-wearing glaze and pretty, raised artwork. The smaller versions are supplied in a gift box covered in silk finish paper. All feature a removable stopper and a slot that will take a £ 2 coin.
Although both the garden and gift trades need choice and variety, GiftScribes isn’t just playing a numbers game. Impulse buying is accommodated, but a significant proportion of their products meet a known demand; based on key buying decisions. Seasonal events such as Christmas, as well as annual celebrations of birthdays and anniversaries are covered; together with other special moments in life such as christenings, weddings, graduation, a child receiving pocket money for the first time and a baby’s first Christmas.
Many products are marketed under the “Special Moments” branding so that retailers can make clear distinctions between different lines for different customers, key events and seasonal demands.
GiftScribes have carefully selected their lines to offer wholesale customers proven demand and good margins. Directors Howard and Linda Thomas also promise their customers that “if it’s on the website, it’s available” from UK stock; as well as a high standard of personal service to maintain and build good relationships.
The trade-dedicated website offers online ordering, although Howard and Linda welcome telephone calls first to “make friends”, tailor service standards and offer POS options.
