Holiday season: retailers’ top searches

Christmas is just around the corner, and now is the time to get your shelves ready. To lend you a hand, we looked at what retailers have been searching for most on Ankorstore over the past few weeks.

From sparkling accessories to treats for sharing, here we five favorites categories to help you build festive displays that make customers want to buy.

It’s the star accessory of the season: the glitter sock. Festive, affordable and easy to tuck under the tree, it’s one of the products retailers search for most. Our favourite pick: Woom, the perfect match for any party outfit.

Hair accessories are another safe bet for last-minute gifts. Scrunchies, clips and barrettes sell all year round, but they take on a new dimension under the tree. Maison Poumpoum’s designs add a playful touch that turns a small price into a lovely gift.

Finally, the bum bag keeps winning over every generation. With its colourful, practical designs, Hindbag is one of the most searched-for fashion brands on Ankorstore.

As the days get shorter, we crave cosiness and beautiful everyday objects. Tableware is the perfect example: the eared bowl from Pied de Poule, decorated with a hand-painted word, is a gift that’s both personal and useful, and it fits on any breakfast table.

You can’t talk about Christmas without mentioning the scented candle, one of retailers’ favourite searches this season. The one from Kult Collection stands out with its red-and-green striped ceramic pot in festive colours, which you’ll want to keep long after the last flame.

For something off the beaten track, the self-watering olla from Pepin is a clever gift idea: a terracotta pot that waters plants on its own. Decorative, practical and eco-friendly, it will delight every plant lover.

Long winter evenings are made for gathering around a game. The card games from Minus slip into a pocket and liven up a holiday aperitif in minutes, for kids and adults alike.

Handmade is popular too. The craft kits from Graine Créative turn a rainy afternoon into a workshop: paint, assemble, and walk away with a one-of-a-kind piece to give or to keep.

And how could we leave out the puzzle, one of retailers’ most-typed searches this season? The illustrated mini puzzles from Jour Férié, with 100 pieces and gentle illustrations, make gifts you’ll almost want to frame once they’re finished.

Christmas is first and foremost a celebration of food. The little shortbread biscuits from La Sablésienne, presented in their red and gold tin, make the perfect gift: enjoy the biscuits, then keep the tin.

On the drinks side, alcohol-free is no longer a niche and is showing up at every festive table. JNPR’s spirits offer an elegant alternative to classic aperitifs, so everyone can raise a glass without compromise.

To end on a sweet note, the caramel lollipops from Pierrot Gourmand have that nostalgic taste of childhood that makes everyone smile. An iconic sweet to place by the till or slip into Christmas stockings.

Perfume remains one of the most popular holiday gifts, and it’s also retailers’ number one beauty search. The eaux de parfum from Maison Matine win people over as much with their fragrances as with their illustrated bottles, true little works of art.

Skincare is also finding its way under the tree. The anti-ageing serum from Endro, a French natural cosmetics brand, is for anyone who wants to give an effective, responsible treatment.

For a cosy moment, the nourishing face mask from Avril is a simple, affordable idea: organic and gentle, it’s perfect as a small gift or to round out a gift set.
