Movies and TV shows have a remarkable influence on what we buy and gift. From nostalgic classics to exciting new releases, stories from the screen inspire endless gifting possibilities that appeal to audiences of all ages.

At Puckator, we’re thrilled to feature some of the most beloved characters and franchises in pop culture, like Paddington Bear, Wallace and Gromit, and Shaun the Sheep—each with a unique line of gifts and collectibles that bring the magic of the screen into everyday life. Let’s dive into the trends, what’s new, and why stocking licensed character products can be a win-win for your business.

In recent days, the region of Valencia has been devastated by an intense DANA (Isolated Depression at High Levels), resulting in severe flooding, property damage, and widespread disruption. At Puckator, we wanted to address this sooner, but one of our offices is in Valencia, and we have been trying to get through the shock of the situation. Thankfully, all our staff are safe, and no one has suffered any personal harm. 

As the end of the year approaches, businesses across the European Union are preparing for the implementation of the new General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). This regulation aims to enhance product safety standards and consumer protection within the EU, reflecting the evolving needs of the modern marketplace. At Puckator, we pride ourselves on our commitment to safety, quality, and compliance, and we want to reassure our customers that we are fully prepared for these changes. In fact, our robust processes already align with the new requirements, ensuring a seamless transition.

Welcome to a special edition of our Puckator blog, where we're celebrating our man’s best friend!

Its Trade Fairs season again at Puckator and they are some of the most crucial events of the year for us, and many businesses.  They are an opportunity to showcase our new seasons range, meet our on-the-road sales team, and catch up with existing customers while introducing new customers to our collections.

We attend dozens of fairs across Europe each year, this Spring we attended over 20!.  The two busiest seasons for us are the Spring Fairs, mainly held in January and February, and the autumn fairs, taking place between September and October. These four months see a significant increase in workload, but the effort extends beyond this period. Each fair requires extensive preparation, time, and dedication. Therefore, a specialized team is essential to shape each event and ensure Puckator meets all our clients' expectations.
