Studio, operated by Express Gifts Ltd, is an established and reputable mail order catalogue business that has been in operation for over a quarter of a century now, having been set up originally in 1974. It has developed enormously from its humble beginnings, when it specialised in the provision of predominantly paper products.

Studio is now able to provide a significantly more extensive product offering, and the catalogues and many other leaflets now include a wide variety of goods including cards and wrap, innovative gifts, gadgets, toys, confectionery, household and electrical goods. Other areas of expertise include the provision of hundreds of exclusive products that can be personalised at no extra charge.

In 2003, Studio introduced discounted clothing and footwear to its product range. These include top brand names such as Fila, Adidas, Ellesse, Reebok, Kangol, Ben Sherman and Kickers to name but a few!

The Christmas period continues to be an important time for Studio, with a large proportion of customers' demand being seen over the second half of the year, when the call for the substantial range of Christmas related product is particularly high. However, the product offer has developed significantly over recent years, and has now been expanded substantially to offer an ever-increasing range of items all year round.
