The joy of giving
Whether the gift is from a grandparent or family friend, gifting in the UK is big business.
Who doesn’t like to celebrate the arrival of a new baby, that precious first birthday, christening or special occasion? Gifting in nursery can drive additional footfall in store or traffic to websites. First time parents can have huge wish lists of items they would like to have once their baby is born, which is why the gift category is one that shouldn’t be overlooked. With this being a vast category (ultimately anything could be considered a gift), in nursery prime examples will be bedding, toys, nursery accessories, clothing and footwear through to keepsake items. With grandparents in general tending to be the gift bearers on the larger nursery items, friends will often seek items that have higher perceived value, which can be greatly aided via the packaging and overall presentation. A good gift has to not only look appealing, be good value for money, have some sort of practical or sentimental value, but has to have that extra special something to make it stand out from the crowd and persuade those eager gift buyers that this is the gift for them. Here we highlight a number of products which are all available to order now.
