Christmas

Officially Licensed Christmas Baubles, Crackers and Gift Wrap

A small but genuinely seasonal range. Harry Potter leads it with boxed Christmas gift baubles — the Marauders Map, Hogwarts Castle, the Chocolate Frog and the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff crests — plus a Yule Ball gift cracker. Club Christmas gift wrap covers Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham, and a short Nightmare Before Christmas run adds a door key, a button badge set and a fridge magnet set.

A decoration for the tree, or something to wrap a present in?

The baubles are the half that lasts. Each arrives boxed and silver plated, so it goes on the tree, comes off in January and reappears every year after — which is what makes one a gift on its own. The gift wrap is used once, and it is the simplest way to make a club present look deliberate.

Is licensed gift wrap different from ordinary wrapping paper?

The artwork is the difference. Licensed wrap carries the club's own crest and colours reproduced under its agreement, rather than a generic pattern in roughly the right colours, which is what makes it recognisable under a tree.
