Spirit (not the drinking type) – tis the Season… to stay optimistic, keep the festive spirit alive, focus on winning with focused ranges.

Countdown – who doesn’t like an Advent Calendar; Christmas is still on December 25 but shopping patterns are changing, more online, buying later, more shopping around, keep counting down and stay in stock.

Magic – we all need a little luck, but we make our own luck.”
