If you know us, you’ll know that we never do merry-making by halves. We’ve had windows decked with glistening baubles, snow-dusted gingerbread villages, winter scenes complete with red-chested robins, oversized wreaths – the list goes on. And while we certainly festoon our windows every season, this year feels particularly special.

‘Be Present’ is our motto, finding beauty in all the small moments a very different season brings and gifting joy to the ones we love. For four weeks, our talented in-house artists have been working their magic to turn this message into a showstopping installation, crafted particularly to spread some much-needed cheer.

In true Anthro fashion, everything was lovingly made from scratch. The wrapping paper (all 1500m of it) was hand-painted, while the present boxes themselves were intuitively reused from store deliveries. Never satisfied with the expected, our gift haul is delivered by a cast of exotic characters. Giraffes, life-sized pelicans, zebras, cute penguins and a pandemonium of parrots, crafted from wood, paper, fabric and paint, all taking centre stage.

Slip behind the scenes to glimpse our magic-makers in action.
