Welcome to the 2019 Christmas trends Elevate Your Curiosity podcast! The 2018 Christmas trends podcast was my most downloaded so far so I’m so excited to share the Christmas trends for this year with you all.
I love delving into all the places you can spot trends and pulling together Christmas themes to inspire your product development. Wherever you are in your Christmas product creation journey I wanted to share some of my thoughts to kickstart or add to your range as the retail Christmas countdown is on!
You can find the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify or below. I’ve included abbreviated notes on the three Christmas trends below but do listen in for all the ideas you can be inspired by.
And as with all the trend podcasts I’ve created a Pinterest board for each Christmas theme to pull all the visual inspiration together. Please do refer to each Pinterest board as you listen or go back and have a nosy later.
