It would seem more and more brands are now using movies to sell their products! Christmas this year seems to have seen it go into overdrive!
The leaders are of course for movie-related Christmas Shopping are Star Wars; Minions and of course Disney’s Frozen, from everything to socks and other clothes to Soap and shower gels.
Not forgetting of course that we can use movies to countdown to Christmas, the previous 3, as well as Marvel characters and Inside Out we have all seen featured on Advent Calendars this year!
This year, thanks in part to Social Media we have seen Movies put on Christmas themed gifts, Bay 57 have a range of movie themed Christmas Jumpers http://bay-57.net/collections/half-price-xmas-sweaters as do Tee Fury http://www.teefury.com/ugly-sweaters we especially like their one featuring Disney’s Stitch.
