BIRD THEMES

As retailers, we’re always trying to work out what themes are going to sell quickly. Bird themes have always been a favourite and since we are, of course, called Nest, are also very appropriate. And I have to say, so far ‘birds’ are selling well this Christmas, especially pheasants.

Having just sold a stuffed pheasant, a metal pheasant sculpture, a ceramic handmade mug with a pheasant on and a set of 6 pheasant tumblers, this could be the hot seller!

I predict a robin backlash soon – I can’t see robins watching their traditional ‘now’ time being hijacked by a bunch of idiot pheasants. That said, the chickens are making a bid for the Christmas number one with growing sales and the recently formed collection of ‘native songbirds’ in cardboard  are also making their presence felt.

I think I need some fresh air.
