#ReimagineChristmas
We are encouraging festive shoppers as part of our Reimagine Christmas campaign to rethink and reimagine the presents they gift this Christmas. Shoppers are asked to make presents more personal and eco conscious by gifting reuse or recycled items or creative experiences. Christmas presents that are revamped, upcycled, reused and recycled are not only uniquely personal but they also have a positive impact on local communities and the environment.
Look out for our Find It – Bling It – Remake It posters (featured below) at over 460 member shops Nationwide. For more information see our press release here and feel free to share.
