Why Friendship Balls Are a Must-Stock for Gift Retailers in 2025

The timeless glass keepsake that continues to deliver strong sales

If you're looking to stock a proven, high-performing gift item with broad appeal, Friendship Balls from Sienna Glass should be at the top of your buying list. These handcrafted glass globes are more than just decorative — they offer deep sentiment, stunning colour, and a strong retail story that resonates with customers of all ages.

A Gift That Speaks Volumes
Each Friendship Ball comes beautifully gift-boxed with a tag explaining the tradition behind it — symbolising friendship, connection, and good wishes. This emotional appeal makes them perfect for birthdays, thank-you gifts, and “just because” moments. The included story adds perceived value and makes gifting effortless.

Best-Selling Sizes and Styles
Our 10cm Friendship Balls remain the most popular size for gifting, offering a good balance between price and visual impact. Colours like Pink & Purple, Green & Blue, and Multicoloured are consistent favourites, but pastel tones like Pastel Pink and Pastel Silver also shine in spring and wedding displays.

Occasion-Specific Options Drive Sales
Don’t overlook our Happy Birthday range (from 18th to 100th), Wedding & Anniversary editions, and New Baby designs. These provide an easy go-to gift option for milestone occasions and are excellent for themed merchandising zones.

Display Matters
Use a Heart-Shaped Display Stand or Crescent Curve to showcase multiple colours and sizes at once. Grouping several balls by theme (e.g., “Gifts for Her”, “Milestone Moments”) encourages browsing and boosts multi-buys.

By stocking Sienna Glass Friendship Balls, you’re offering more than just a product — you’re offering a heartfelt moment your customers can pass on. And that’s what keeps them coming back.
