BRAINSTORM T: +44 (0)1200 445 113 E: sales@brainstormltd.co.uk www.brainstormltd.co.uk 2022 will undoubtedly see an even bigger shift to environmentally-friendly gifts, according to Brainstorm’s Marketing Manager Debra Tiffany. With more companies than ever looking towards net zero targets in 2022, now is the time to capitalise on this trend by focusing on products that not only have eco-credentials but also add value to existing ranges. Debra says, “As a company we are aiming towards being netzero by the end of 2022 and are rapidly transitioning to plastic free packaging. As well as looking at our own ranges, we wanted to include sustainable product lines which is why we began distributing EUGY two years ago. “For any gift retailer wanting to make more conscious buying decisions, EUGY is a fantastic addition as it’s 100% sustainable but also spans various categories so will sit well in different areas of an outlet from collectable and pocket money to crafts and STEM.” EUGY lets children create their own 3D models using 100 percent sustainable, biodegradable card, each printed with natural eco-friendly inks. The simple numerical sequence assembly belies the intricate creations children can make and each results in a cute and sturdy animal or creature that they can collect and display. New for 2022 are Hedgehog, Rhino, Bumblebee, Chameleon, Unicorn Sky, Raptor, Crocodile and Kangaroo.

A recent Ipsos survey indicates that 23% of all employed adults now work from home more often than they did prior to the pandemic. In addition, an ONS survey earlier this year shows that 85% of UK working individuals favour a hybrid approach, with a mix of home and office working. A knock-on effect of this is that we now are experiencing a huge uptake in journaling, with more people conscious of boosting personal mental health and wellbeing as they seek to strike a better work-life balance. This is driving popularity in premium notebooks such as the Rhodia Goalbooks. ExaClair Limited, the UK supplier of Rhodia and Clairefontaine, has an extensive selection of popular Goalbooks with a comprehensive range of colours to satisfy all note-taking, journaling and task-setting needs. Colours range from deep reds to pastel pinks, earthy greens to complex blues, and have been chosen to ensure the ranges are aligned to the latest colour trends. Goalbooks come with an orange elastic closure, expanding inner pocket, a pen loop and two ribbon bookmarks, and include 120 sheets of Clairefontaine’s signature premium-quality, PEFC™ Certified 90gsm ivory brushed-vellum paper. Lawrence Savage, Marketing Manager at ExaClair, comments, “Whether you’re organising your day, making notes or writing a novel, it’s well known that journaling possesses great therapeutic qualities and the new Rhodia Goalbooks offer an ideal option for a personal gift.” Make bath time that little bit more fun with these Donut bath fizzers.
