18 Brand spanking new Check out some new and exciting products in the current market STABILO Stationery brand STABILO is launching the ‘Cute Edition’ range in January 2026, designed to encourage creativity among children through design and emotional connection. The Cute Edition – Animal Vibes introduces new designs across BOSS mini, point 88, Pen 68 and Trio thick. Each design is based on animal characters representing specific emotions, including Sleepy Sloth and Curious Meerkat. The range is intended to create engagement while helping children recognise and explore emotions in an accessible way. Traditionally targeting six- to nine-year-olds with functional products, STABILO has identified growing demand for more emotive and design-led stationery. Market research conducted with InnoLab, involving over 200 children, found that animal-themed products were particularly popular across a mixed-gender audience. The products are priced with children’s pocket money in mind and will be available from Amazon, Ryman’s and other stationery retailers from January 2026. The launch will be supported by custom-designed POS displays to maximise in-store visibility. Shahbaz Khan, Marketing Director UK/Ireland, said: “The design team continually looks for ways to combine functionality with creativity. The Cute Edition range brings this approach to life, and it is hoped that children will enjoy using it to express themselves.” www.stabilo.com/uk/ PARKMINSTER Parkminster enters 2026 with a new look and an expanding product portfolio designed to help independent retailers stand out in a crowded home fragrance market. The refreshed branding combines classic apothecary styling – inspired by vintage medicine bottles and packaging – with a clean, modern aesthetic suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors. The new labelling has received a positive response from stockists and customers. Each product displays the stockist’s name, reinforcing Parkminster’s commitment to the high street, as well as freshness and small-batch craftsmanship. This detail builds trust and creates a connection between maker, retailer and end customer. Alongside its natural candles, 2026 sees the launch of several new product lines. A new Bath & Body collection will include hand lotions, bath foams, soaps and complementary products, all developed with the same plant-based, sustainable ethos associated with the Parkminster name. www.parkminster.co.uk CINNAMON AITCH Cinnamon Aitch introduces several new greetings card ranges, alongside additions to established collections. All cards are designed, printed and hand finished in Britain. Meadow Blossom is an 18-card C6 floral range featuring artwork by designer Nicola Evans (Peony Rose).
