Discount retailer QD, which has a King's Lynn store, reveals its best sellers in the run-up to Christmas

Discount retailer QD, which has a store in Lynn's Norfolk Street, has revealed its top sellers over the past six weeks of the second national lockdown.

QD – QualityDiscounts.com – says more outdoor lights have been sold this year than ever before and both real and artificial tree sales have seen a rise too.

But its best seller has been Christmas cards with customers choosing single, high quality and more meaningful cards for the friends and family they will be unable to visit this year.

Gift sales in store have increased, too, particularly after the Government’s announcement allowing bubbles of three households over the Christmas period.

Mickl Freeman-Pannett, store manager at Lynn's QD store, said: “Customers have been getting into the Christmas spirit much earlier than usual. While footfall has been pretty steady throughout the second lockdown and into December, we’re finding that shoppers are making fewer trips but spending more with us each time they come in, getting everything they need under one roof, all at great value prices.

“Customers are really going all out to make a magical Christmas in their own homes this year with plenty of lights, decorations and trees; not to mention tableware, soft furnishings and candles. It’s been heart-warming to see them also thinking of others with sales of gifts and cards up too. This has been a challenging year and here at QD, we’re delighted to have been able to help shoppers celebrate this Christmas.”
