'GOT, GOT, NEED'

Marks and Spencer and The Meld Group team up to field a range of
Panini-branded gifts for launch in store this Autumn.

Since the start of the '70s, generations of children have grown up collecting Panini football stickers and the excitement of opening a sticker packet to find your favourite player and completing your album is still a pastime loved by children and adults alike. This heritage makes Panini an instantly recognizable name with all football enthusiasts and sticker-collecting aficionados.

As part of a wide-ranging licensing programme Marks and Spencer, Panini and The Meld Group have teamed up in 2010 to launch a wonderful range of Panini branded gifts, exclusive to Britain¹s best loved retailer.

The Marks and Spencer range includes Mugs, a Table Football Game, a Blow-Football Game and a book of hilarious football one-liners, all making for perfect Christmas presents or stocking-fillers. Great entertainment, not only for the footie fan, but for the entire family.

The range will be on sale in Marks and Spencer stores from October.
