Janet Gordon, manager, Kitchen Range, Llandudno picks the following bestsellers for the run-up to Christmas:
Stellar and Judge Pans from Horwood
A lot of people buy new pans for themselves in the run-up to Christmas. People like these for the brand names and associated quality (and Stellar is particularly well recognised). We talk customers through the features and benefits.
Roasting Trays from Silverwood as well as MasterClass from KitchenCraft
Silverwood trays are an investment: if you look after them, you have them for life. They also appeal to some people who don’t like coatings. However, we also get a lot of good feedback from customers who have bought MasterClass Heavy Duty Non-stick Roasting Trays (by KitchenCraft), and we share this feedback with other customers.
Novelty Cruet Sets from KitchenCraft and Eddingtons
We have a very good selection that customers say they can’t find anywhere else. These salt and pepper sets brighten up a festive table setting.
Tea Towels from Cheshatex Textile Supplies, plus Stow Green (from Eddingtons)
Stow Green linen tea towels are always popular and Christmas designs sell well. Meanwhile, our top sellers from Cheshatex include animal designs (such as the owl) as well as festive patterns.
Napkins from NJ Products
People come to us for their Christmas paper napkins as we have a very wide selection of designs.
Christmas Egg Cups from KitchenCraft and Eddingtons
Christmas themed eggcups (such as Santa and Snowman designs) are a good priced gift and stocking filler.
