New Christmas 2021 Has Launched!

posted on 22 Feb in General News, Our Products, Showroom by Katie Mann.

New Christmas 2021 Launch

We’re so excited to share our fantastic New Christmas Collection with you. It’s now available to preview and pre-order here on our website, at our extensive showrooms and via your Rep.

To ensure you get your first picks from our collection, we ask that you pre-order as soon as possible to secure your selections from the 2021 collection. You don’t pay a penny to reserve your stock until we dispatch later in the year on a date that suits you.

It will be strange this year not to be attending the main shows early in the year but to make up for it we’ve pulled out all the stops to transform our Showrooms in to a one stop shop for Christmas 2021.

We really recommend a visit to our extensive Showrooms here in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham (conveniently located only 20mins away from the NEC). It’s the best way to see the entire collections in a safe and relaxed environment, allowing you to be inspired by our displays.

Our Showrooms are open under strict COVID safety measures, find our more here.

Your Angel is here to help
Not sure where to start? Your dedicated on the road Angel rep is here to help you make the best selections.

What experts are forecasting for Xmas 2020

posted on 16 Sep in General News by Katie Mann.

We think the saying ‘can you believe we’re in September already’ has already been worn out, but what a crazy year it has been!

With so much uncertainty, it’s reassuring to have some certainity that our tradition of Christmas will happen. Something to look forward to and celebrate will likely be the morale boost we all need to get through an otherwise very very strange year.

Today marks 100 days until Christmas. In retail land, that’s not long at all and many are still playing lockdown catch up when it comes to planning Christmas stock and displays.

What The Experts Are Saying:

Surveys from Money.co.uk show that consumers are feeling positive about Christmas spending and grateful to have something to safely celebrate. Many of us have had to cancel or postpone our usual get-togethers: weddings, birthday parties… Christmas will be a welcome time of celebration with our nearest and dearest.

Financially, customers are ready to spend. Salman Haqqi, personal finance expert at Money.co.uk says:

“64% of the public we polled said they intended to spend more or at least as much on Christmas presents in 2020, as they did in 2019. Last year people said they intended to spend an average of £780 on Christmas gifts but this year is set to increase to £965”.

The article goes on to say Christmas shopping is likely to start sooner this year, especially if customers can get a deal.

“Three quarters of those polled revealed they would consider starting their Christmas shopping earlier if it could save them money”.

With that being said, it’s time to consider how to make the most of the festive season ahead and maximise your sales. Are you ready?

Get inspired for Christmas

Our Showroom is open!

Our showroom has been refreshed and revamped to adhere to social distancing protocols. You can safely browse our entire Christmas and Everyday collections and be inspired by our displays. Arrange your visit.
