“Our bestsellers among adults are our alcohol gifts, but it’s just not wines and whiskies that we’re seeing increased demand for,” explains Giftpup’s product manager Emily Ford. “We’re seeing a definite trend for gifting alcohol-adjacent presents, too, such as engraved glassware.”

She adds that the personalised gift market is constantly growing. “Our birthday gifts in particular have seen a massive rise in recent years. A personalised birthday gift an easy way to send something meaningful and unique.”
