After the success of the first animated film, there’s a lot of anticipation for the Trolls World Tour movie release on the 17th of April 2020. We have your product range covered, with blind bags, plush toys, Play-Doh sets and more.

Eco-Friendly Products

Protecting the environment and reducing the use of plastics is quickly becoming important in everyday life. 

Give your customers the option to switch their everyday essentials with eco-friendly options so we can all do our bit, no matter how small.

All of the Buying Team at Harrisons wish you a prosperous summer – we hope this advice helps you to increase your sales this year.
