Rex London's year in review: best of 2020
2020 has been quite the year for everyone, to say the least. From adjusting to new COVID-19 regulations to launching our new #GiftsofRandomKindness campaign, we’ve been very busy here at Rex London HQ. Here’s our year in review, plus a quick sneak peek at what’s in store for 2021.
Gifts of Random Kindness
Since changing our name from dotcomgiftshop to Rex London in 2018, we’ve been on an ongoing journey to define our distinct style and build on the signature collections that you already know and love. Even in lockdown we continued to do this, developing a fresh look that reflects the style and originality of our gifts.
We’ve come to really understand that Rex London has always been the home of wonderful gifts for all occasions, but more importantly, for every non-occasion.
We are the designers, curators and sellers of these kinds of gifts. We call them Gifts of Random Kindness: beautiful things that you can afford to give whenever you want.
Along with this new brand promise, we also introduced our brand new logo - and more recently, a new website!
Bestsellers of 2020
Every year we introduce hundreds of new items for new and existing collections. Here are your Rex London favourites of 2020, in no particular order.

Loved by kids and adults alike, these adorable ice lolly moulds flew off our shelves in the last year. They’re so handy for making healthy and easy breakfast treats, like frozen yoghurt and berry lollies.

Top Banana jumbo storage bag
Our iconic jumbo bag is always very popular, and this year we’re delighted that you went bananas for our new Top Banana print! Roomy and sturdy, these eco-friendly bags are perfect for moving house, going camping or storing old clothes.

Part of our growing Wild Wonders range, this gorgeous 14-piece stacking set is a brilliant play and learn activity for children over 3 years. We’re not surprised that this was one of your favourites, because it’s one of ours too!

Fish storage tins
New this year, loads of you picked up this set of retro style tins. We’ve loved hearing about all the ways you’re using them, whether for storing stationery, organising cutlery or keeping your random bits and bobs in one spot.

New designs
We welcomed three new designs to the Rex London family this year!
Wild Wonders
From its beginnings as an animal memory game, then to stationery and now to a full collection filled with exciting children’s accessories and wooden toys, this design’s evolution is a brilliant example of our organic creative process. Have a look at how the bold and bright Wild Wonders came to be in this behind the design story.

Nine Lives
Following the success of our adorable Best in Show range, we’re so happy to welcome our brand new set of Nine Lives characters into the Rex family. Cat lovers rejoice!
Top Banana
This fun and retro style print now features on our popular recycled bags and lunch accessories. We can’t wait to see more products with this cheery design.
What’s coming in 2021?
We’re excited to introduce a new fairy-themed print to you! Here’s a sneak peek of the beautiful design by in-house designer Nadia Taylor.
She says, “I wanted to capture the magical idea of finding fairies at the bottom of your garden! At the same time, I wanted to make the print stylish, bold and colourful with a 1960s floral influence. I love the little fairies hidden amongst the leaves and flowers and the bright colour palette!”
Keep your eyes peeled for loads of new goodies, like a new collection of jewellery for girls, as well as a new range of jigsaw puzzles, children’s activities and lunch accessories.
A big thank you from everyone at Rex London for being one of our fantastic customers. We can’t wait to bring you more wonderful #GiftsofRandomKindness in 2021!
