Our charity Christmas decoration idea was pitched by Sam, the son of one of our team members. A young, budding entrepreneur who lives with ADHD, Sam suggested we install gumball machines in all our stores for when children are shopping with their parents. This led to the design of our gumball decoration, designed collaboratively with Sam and raising money for charity.

‘We took the gumball idea and decided it would translate well into a colourful Christmas tree decoration,’ says Home & Gift Buyer, Alice Fenner. Sam was involved in the entire design process, from adapting his initial idea to visiting SOS!SEN, a charity that helps secure the right educational support for young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
The final product is a fun and colourful creation handmade with a bright rainbow of beads and sequins that would make a playful decoration all year round, not just at Christmas. ‘Sam has proved that not all brilliant ideas start in a classroom - success can be measured in different ways,’ says Amy, Sam’s mum.
