Whats Hot this year

Each year brings its own surprises . In our industry its very difficult to anticipate what will be popular from one Christmas to the next . Photo gifts is big business with a  lot of players but it does seem that the general public do follow particular trends .

A few years ago it was photo mugs and it seemed you guys out there couldn't get enough of them 1000's are still sold each year and apart from fun gifts they make great adverts . If you are in business look at it like this you can give a customer a card and it gets stuffed in a drawer, but if they have a mug with your company printed on it then that's displayed every time they have a cuppa . But back to Christmas gifts and what's popular last year it was defiantly photo pillowcases

i think mainly due to so many overseas postings for military guys and girls, i guess family members sent these to give them loving reminders of home. I'm sure sleeping with a soft photo of your loved ones were a great comfort for those missing home. 

So what is it this year well its a couple of things 

Cushions are always a favourite

But i think the trend is moving more towards the designed themed cushion rather than plain picture on a cushion type thing i think the public taste has matured some what 

we defiantly get asked for pictures framed rather than just slapped on a cushion but the surprise for this year is without doubt , Photo lamp shades 

we are getting more and more orders for these this year and its looking like a bumper lampshade year 

happy buying :)
