Christmas Campaigns Are Live

We've officially kicked off our 12 Offer of Crystmas, starting with one the team always gets behind.

Christmas Jumper Day - Supporting Save The Children

Every year our team puts on their best Christmas jumpers and this year will be no different. On Thursday 11th we'll be raising funds for a charity close to our hearts, Wards 3 & 4 at the R.V.I. in Newcastle and will raise as much as possible for this valuable cause.

Every Christmas we usually send out chocolates, sweets and wine to customers. This year to help support our chosen charity of the year, the full budget for this is being donated to the Teesside Charity Christmas Toy Appeal.

And throughout December, a portion of every order that we get, goes directly to The Teesside Family Foundation Selection Box Appeal.

If you buy from us this month, you're helping children across Teesside have a better Christmas.

Meet The Team: Sue Bell - Operations Manager

Sue keeps the wheels turning. From overseeing production and developing new systems to managing the building itself, she’s the reason orders go out accurately and on time, especially the complicated ones.

Company History (1990's)

Through the 90s, demand grew so quickly that we outgrew our original 2,000 sq ft unit and moved into a much larger premises with dedicated warehouse space just outside Middlesbrough town centre.

It was our first major expansion and it laid the foundations for the scale and capability we operate with today.

FAQ of the Week: Do you have a minimum order quantity?

No minimums. Order exactly what you need — whether that’s a single sample for a client or 500 awards for an event. The system is built for flexibility.

Plain Cover Orders — Done Right

We ship orders in plain packaging with no Crystal Galleries branding, so the unboxing reflects you. (Yes, we even produce a plain-cover version of our catalogue for trade partners.)
