A big branded Christmas

In case you haven’t noticed, Christmas is definitely on the way! In between all the festive cheer and the parties, what are the gifts everyone is talking about this year? Have you spotted any high-street trends?

So, once again we decided to review them. With no more further ado, here are our Top 10 Christmas Ads of 2014 – in ascending order.

Number 10 – Lidyl “The Little Present”
