| Back in August, 25% of UK shoppers that celebrate Christmas said they will have started thinking about Christmas shopping before the end of that month*, but we know just from talking to the team here at Allwag that there is still a large proportion of the population who don’t plan so far ahead. |
| |
| As of today (10th November 2021), there are only 6 weeks until Christmas, and timely delivery of Christmas gifts can sometimes be a concern (especially when ordering from overseas). |
| |
|
|
| In our recent online poll, we found that Just under 50% of respondents DO give gifts to clients during the festive season**! Left it until the last minute? Don’t worry, it’s not too late. |
|
|
| |
What is the solution? A ‘UK Made Christmas’ of course!
|
|
|
| |
Not only will buying UK Made reduce delivery times dramatically with ‘express’ festive gifts for your clients and staff, you are also doing your bit to help the environment by reducing your carbon footprint.
|
| |
Plus, you are helping the local economy! Did you know that UK manufacturing is worth £192 billion to the UK economy and employs 2.7 million people++? Buying UK Made Christmas gifts is a win-win for sustainability and supporting UK manufacturers.
|
| |
And with 43% of consumers actively reducing their carbon footprint and valuing this as one of their commitments to protecting the environment+, why not promote the fact you are buying UK Made merchandise this year as part of your festive campaigns!

| Why not appeal to the sweet tooth of your clients this festive period – after all, everyone knows that the winter season is all about the food! From sweets, to chocolates to Christmas puddings, we’ve got edible holiday gifts for everyone! |
