Snowy Night Fireplace range from History and Heraldry
With garden centre Christmas Departments now in Sale mode or being packed away for next October, GTN Online can reveal that the No 1 Bestselling product in the UK Garden Centre Christmas Charts for 2008 was the 40 clear bulb sets of Fairy Lights from Premier. Although they didn’t enter the weekly chart until mid November, sales volumes increased rapidly taking them to No 1 in week ending 7th December, holding on to the top spot through to Christmas week itself.
Santa Hats, Musical Christmas Ties and Cookies for Santa Plates had high chart positions throughout the season and as a result took the No 2, 3 and 4 spots for Premier too.
The Salco Glass Advent Candle holder took No 5 spot with four Kaemingk products taking the remaining Top 10 spots.
Arguably the most successful new Christmas product this year, in volume terms, was the Snowy Night Fireplace range from History and Heraldry. The Snowy Night Stockings to hang on the model fireplaces ended the season at No 11 and the Medium Fireplace closed at no 19.
