A must-have Christmas product that went viral last year is already in demand months before the festive season.
It was the end of October when we reported how shoppers were desperate to get their hands on a sleigh hamper from The Range last Christmas.
This year it’s £2 dearer, at £7.99, but the product – which is made from sturdy cardboard and holds a number of presents – is already in demand after the retailer shared details of this year’s batch.

In a post on Facebook at the weekend, The Range said: “Sleigh what?! Back by popular demand – our Make Your Own Christmas Sleigh Hampers are here for 2025! Bigger, better, and even more festive.
“Look out for these landing in your local store next week.”
The post has since amassed more than 2.8k comments, many of them from customers keen not to miss out on them this year.
“I’m on the hunt for one of these again this year,” said one shopper, with another adding: “Was a joke trying to get hold of one of these last year.”
A third said: “I’m desperate to get one for my daughter, missed out last year.”
Responding to people who questioned the size, a number of people responded to say you can fit quite a lot of presents in one and the actual size is 97cm in height and 62.5cm wide.

It comes as a flatpack kit and is described as ‘a great way to display your gifts this Christmas’.

“This charming sleigh is the perfect addition to your seasonal decorations, which can be used year after year,” says The Range. “Create a unique centrepiece display and fill up the sleigh with presents for your family to enjoy.”
Customers are encouraged to check the website for stock updates or visit their local store.
Shoppers have also reported finding them at other stores although sizes and prices vary.
Matalan is selling a similar cardboard sleigh, but its Red Present Sleigh, costing £5, is smaller with dimensions of 26cm x 51cm x 28cm.
Home Bargains also had a version in stock last year, a smaller Festive Fun Gift Sleigh for £2.99.
