Being one of the two giants from The Steel City, Sheffield Wednesday has a large and loyal fanbase. We relished the opportunity to develop a full, coordinating range consisting of luggage, bedding, bamboo and plush for them. Their Christmas window display was a great way to exhibit the whole bedroom set-up, which was reflected in successful sales. We continue to work with them to bring new ideas and products to the table.

The Build Your Own Keyring continues to be a hugely successful product for our Zappi Co. brand & has been a bestseller for many of our retailers. With the increasing popularity of personalised products in mind, we designed this primarily for the gift shops of attractions, zoos & charities. • Eco cotton lace available in 6 colours • Recycled wood beads • FSC certified card hangers Customers select their lace colour, spell their own name (however unusual!) & choose their shaped

The Champions League is still regarded as the greatest global club competition. It’s a great brand to have in our portfolio, & we're honoured to be working with some of the best football teams in the world.   The calibre of the clients requires an extra focus on quality and finish, & due to the nature of the competition the lead time always has to be short. Therefore designing bespoke ranges is a constant yet enjoyable challenge. ​ The iconic starball image and stadium night

WRU are one of the best Rugby Union teams in the world, with a huge and passionate fanbase. We were tasked to develop their iconic Scorch mascot in the form of a plush toy. It was a very interesting and detailed project which came out perfectly, & to this day is one of the best mascots we've ever made. The quality was reflected in the sales, as the stock didn't last very long in store! We accompanied Scorch with a range of bedding and fleece blankets whereby we were able to g

Swansea City A.F.C. has a huge following in Wales and their retail team are a pleasure to deal with due to their honesty, clarity and clear direction on what they want to develop. They became our client when our company first began, and we like to think that their loyalty to us has been rewarded. The main category we have supplied Swansea with is bedding, and we're grateful to them for recommending us to several other football and sports clubs with whom they have an affiliati

We were extremely excited to be working with Legoland. Everyone at some stage has had Lego in their lives & the toy brand continues to be one of the biggest globally. Our initial objective was to come up with a new bespoke range based around some of their themes at Legoland Windsor resort. Price, design & MOQs were all key in finalising the range which included luggage, stationery and accessories, whilst keeping to their guidelines & brand integrity.

The 'Build Your Own Keyring' (BYOK) is our own brand product which sits under the Zappi Co. trademark. With the increasing popularity of personalised products in mind, we designed this primarily for the gift shops of attractions, zoos and charities. Customers can select their lace colour, spell their own name (however unusual) and choose their shaped beads to create a lasting souvenir of their day out. We were excited when the Silverstone Museum decided to stock the Keyring;

We were very proud to to be granted the official license for The Scottish F.A., having designed and produced a successful range of textiles for them. Being a national team, it is particularly important to ensure that we maintain their brand identity and that their logos, crests and colours are perfectly produced. We therefore worked very closely with the club in order to ensure that the designs and the quality were exactly right. When developing new ranges, we consider the fa

Norwich City have become one of our longest standing customers and we hugely enjoy working with their passionate team to produce new ranges for their fans every season. We have supplied the club with the largest range of products that we have produced for any one customer, from baby comforters to backpacks. Our most popular product for Norwich City has undoubtedly been our bedding. Every year we produce new designs in both polycotton and 100% cotton digital print, giving thei

Celtic FC are an historic club with a successful track record in both Scottish and European football.   It has been our pleasure to work on many projects with them over the years, including merchandise to commemorate the 50 year anniversary of the Lisbon Lions when Celtic lifted the European Cup. This saw us develop a commemorative flag, as well as embossing our classic bear.   We've worked closely with the team at Celtic to develop fresh new bedding ranges in entry level fab

Unlike football, merchandise has never been heavily featured in cricket, with the only exception being replica shirts. Our challenge with The Birmingham Bears T20 team was create an entire range of non-replica merchandise, giving The Bears a marketable cricket brand in their own right. The brief included everything from keyrings to clothing, and the deadline was tight. In some ways it's easier when you control the whole brand; packaging can be consistent, approvals are quicke

Wigan Warriors are one of the biggest Rugby League teams in the UK, so we were pleased to help when they approached us needing products that they could not source from other suppliers. They had a very specific brief on their plush mascot, as previous samples from other suppliers had not been accurate enough or of sufficient quality. We took detailed pictures of their mascot and worked closely with our plush factory in order to get the sample right first time. The club was ver

Behind every business, there is a story to tell. Here is our (much condensed) story so far… In 2015, having spent years in the retail & merchandise sector, Chris Rogers had a vision to create a new kind of merchandise company. With one overarching principle: the customers would be treated with honesty & integrity, no hidden costs or false promises. The company would have a commitment to producing quality goods that it was proud to sell. At the same time, business partners Joh

The retail division at Leeds had an overhaul when we started working with them, and designing products for the visionary buyers there has been a rewarding experience.   Our bedding designs for Leeds were generally developed to celebrate their club crests over the years. In a departure from this, we worked with the Leeds United buyers to create a higher end 'Legacy' range of textiles. The range included Duvet covers, cushions and a sherpa fleece blanket. Designed for the fans

It is extremely rewarding to be contacted by a club due to a recommendation, so in the early days of our company, when Aberdeen F.C. approached us & asked us to develop a bedding range for them, we were thrilled to take on the project. The Retail buyers visited our first showroom in Warwickshire, which allowed us to explain the focus of the company on sustainability, & our aim to remove all single use plastic from our products wherever possible. We're pleased to say that our

The Donkey Sanctuary is one of the UK's leading charities and it has been a pleasure to work with their motivated team to bring new products to their dedicated supporters at Devon's number one day out venue. We have been working with The Donkey Sanctuary for several years now, initially working on their designer range, developing pencil cases and lunchbags. We worked in accordance with the guidelines set out by Donkey Sanctuary to ensure consistency across the entire range. A

Having supplied Twycross Zoo for years with our Zappi co. plush toys & other homewares, we were pleased to add our Build Your Own Keyring stand to their gift shop offering. ​ When the opportunity then came to develop the keyring specifically for their Gruffalo trail gift shop we jumped at the chance! ​ Every element of this project was tailor made: ​ ·    Laces matched to brand colours ·    Custom decals ·    Custom Gruffalo line drawing header cards ·    Specially designed s

We first met The Tank Museum when we exhibited at The Family Attractions Show, where we had a conversation about tank slippers! With the buyers wanting to improve upon their current offering, we embarked upon a redesign of slippers in the shape of 4 different tanks. Our digital print technology allowed for realistic digital detailing - the accuracy of the design was really important here as there are distinct differences between the tanks. The success of the slippers led to f

Merlin Group manages the leading attractions and theme parks in the UK and Europe. We work with many of Merlin's attractions including Chessington World of Adventures, Thorpe Park, Alton Towers, Heide Park, Shrek's Adventure, Warwick Castle, Sea Life Centre & The London Eye. Our first project began with a brief for soft toys individual to the park rides. We created Ride Heroes; small plush toys of similar shapes but each with a character to match the theme of each ride.

Opened with the aims of research, education & conservation, the National Marine Aquarium is a charity we are particularly pleased to be working with. Since our founding The Gift Scholars has had a strong awareness of the environmental impact of mass production & packaging in the merchandise industry, and we are constantly developing new ways to reduce or eliminate the plastic in our products.   We have been supplying the NMA in Plymouth for many years with our Zappi Co. plush
