Forecasters are predicting more storms compared to winter 2014/15 and the MET Office thinks it’ll be the coldest December, January and February on record.
Choosing the right stock
Parents will be looking for gloves, hats and scarves, to keep their children warm and try to reduce their chances of falling ill with colds and winter bugs. Affordability with be key, especially for parents of pre-school and school aged children because they tend to lose items at school and whilst out and about. It might be that they’ll choose an expensive set to keep for best and want cheap but practical gloves, hats and scarves for day-to-day use.
Top picks for kids – Some unisex gloves in black with neon stripes will be popular with both girls and boys and because they’re one size fits all you won’t need to order lots of different sizes. You might also want to stock gloves in dark pastel colours and some gloves in classic black. Scarves and hats should both look good and keep the wearer warm so stocking hats with a double layer can be a good idea.
Thermal wear is often overlooked by the buyers at the big stores so you could easily become the “go to” place in your local town if you decide to stock a kids range. Long johns and thermal tops are winter essentials for kids that walk or cycle to school as are thick socks.
Not to forget all the mums who also need to keep warm in these freezing temperatures - we have a full range of ladies thermal underwear in our exclusive Lucilla range.
