| UK & Eire rights for global icon Miffy to be managed by Rocket Licensing |
| |
UK & Eire rights for global icon Miffy are to be managed by Rocket Licensing.
After DRI Licensing's decision to wind down the company it became paramount to find a new home for Miffy. The brand Miffy has been carefully nurtured and grown over the last 20+ years and, according to Mercis, it was important to secure this foundation, but also build on the program to further stimulate visibility and growth.
According to a press release, "We believe that award winning agency Rocket Licensing has all the prerequisites to jointly fulfil this mission and are pleased to announce our partnership in the UK and Eire. Finding synergies between our existing partners and Rocket's established network of best-in-class licensing partners forms a solid base to further build the brand across all categories and age groups."

| Gibsons offers free puzzles to help support their customers |
| |
Gibsons, the family-owned jigsaw puzzle and board game company, has coined June as 'Kindness Month' and launched their #PuzzleItForward campaign. Running from the 1st-30th June, the campaign challenges Gibsons' trade customers to gift a completely free puzzle to their shoppers and brighten their day.
Alternatively, puzzlers can make a purchase directly from the Gibsons website between 1st-30th June and they will receive one free puzzle with their order. Minimum order spend is £10 and the free puzzle will be automatically added to their delivery.
Jigsaw puzzles have been scientifically proven to boost one's mental health through the meditative benefits and separation from digital devices. Piecing together a jigsaw is a great way to combat stress, but it is also beneficial for your physical health too. By refocusing the mind away from negative and stressful thoughts decreases your cortisol and blood pressure levels, making both your body and mind healthy (Dr Newton, 2017).

| Victoria Eggs sees increase in demand for ‘made in Britain’ |
| |
Victoria Eggs has found that retailers and consumers already have an increasingly strong appetite for products that are made in Britain, with many retailers now including UK-made products as part of their buying strategies.
