Last-Minute Christmas Buyers: Small Glass Keepsakes that Sell Through in December

Every December, customers leave shopping until the last minute — and they need affordable, meaningful stocking fillers they can pick up quickly. For independents, this is a huge sales opportunity.

Our tealight holders are compact, affordable gifts with strong shelf appeal. They’re easy add-on purchases and make excellent “little extras” for stocking fillers or secret Santas.

Wholesale retailers should dedicate a Last-Minute Gifts bay near the till point. Use signage like “Stocking Fillers Under £20” to encourage impulse purchases. Smaller glass items also work brilliantly as countertop displays, turning overlooked spaces into high-margin zones.

Retail tip: In the final two weeks before Christmas, customers buy with speed, not planning. Make sure these items are easy to see, easy to grab, and clearly priced.

By stocking the right small keepsakes, retailers can maximise December sales right up to Christmas Eve.
