It features a selection of sweetly illustrated creatures such as bears, reindeer and penguins. The packaging is a mix of boxes or wrap around cards and products include ear muffs, gloves and hats, mugs, and beauty gifts.

Here are my snaps from the day featuring mainly book covers, some cards and wrap, and a smattering of homewares.
