September has been a busy month for new arrivals, and the seasonal shift is now well underway. From standout sweets and chocolate gifts to festive favourites, there are plenty of fresh lines to help you keep your range fresh, giving shoppers more reason to convert and to kickstart festive sales.
Advent calendars are a logical place to start building your seasonal range, with their demand peaking earlier than other festive lines. The Kinder Pokémon Holiday Calendar combines 24 Pokémon-themed Kinder favourites with Pokémon stickers, resulting in an eye-catching choice for younger shoppers and a fun way to kick-start the Christmas period. For a more indulgent countdown, The Best of Thorntons Advent Calendar offers 24 of Thorntons’ best-loved milk, white and dark chocolates. Stock up on bulk Advent calendars well in advance to maximise sales and help customers begin the countdown in the best way.
Gifting stock is a seasonal essential, helping retailers cater for shoppers looking for affordable treats, stocking fillers and easy presents. The KitKat F1 Collectable Tin Car is filled with 12 KitKat chocolate cars, combining a crowd-pleasing brand with a collectable format. The Snickers Large Selection Box brings together five popular bars, including Snickers, Mars and Twix. Both are ideal additions to a festive range and perfectly sized for stocking fillers.
Swedish candy has struck a chord with British sweet-lovers thanks to its distinctive textures, exciting flavour combinations and colourful, eye-catching appearance. Hyttis brings all of that appeal to the bagged sweets fixture with its Magic Mix and Fun Mix bags. Packed with variety and ready to brighten up any range, they offer shoppers a tempting taste of the trend at an RRP of just £1.
Taffy Town saltwater taffy is made for pick and mix, bringing all the fun of the fairground to colourful, nostalgic displays. Three new flavours—Chocolate, Cotton Candy and Strawberry Banana—give you and your customers even more ways to create memorable mixes. With their great texture and flavours, plus their autumnal appeal, they are terrific stock this time of year.
The well-established Toxic Waste appeal is bursting into the weigh-out sector with the new Nuclear Fusion 1kg Jar. A standout choice for tuck shops and pick and mix stands, it gives shoppers the intensely sour hit they know in a format that is easy for you to merchandise. Also available in four colour mixes (Green, Red, Yellow, and Purple), the range delivers variety on shelf and offers retailers a great 35% POR.
