Seven Christmas stars, from children’s toothbrushes and Skeletor to vacuum cleaners and office chairs

What do a Masters of the Universe action figure, an office chair and a children’s toothbrush with sonic technology have in common? They’re all top sellers in their product categories this Christmas.

Galaxus has identified which products in which categories stood out as top sellers, analysing orders placed on Galaxus Deutschland between 1 and 18 December. Let’s go:

Tablets are popular gifts. Like smartphones, you can use them anytime. A lot of models are also more affordable than in previous years. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 9+ was a particular hit. It was by far the most frequently purchased tablet on Galaxus Deutschland this month.

Getting children to brush their teeth is often a source of stress for all concerned. Maybe the Philips Sonicare «For Kids» sonic toothbrush will improve things. A lot of parents seem to have had the same idea, according to the order numbers on Galaxus.de. The accompanying dental care app is probably supposed to make brushing more fun.

Galaxus sells 6,000 different action figures. So, why do the sales figures show that a Masters of the Universe one is one of our most frequent orders by some distance? Is it not from the 80s? It is. But they’re making a new film. Jared Leto is due to play a leading role, with the release slated for 2026. Galaxus customers are obviously getting ready in plenty of time.

The product description’s short and matter-of-fact: «Jewellery box with a mirror. With compartments for rings, necklaces, watches and earrings. Includes small jewellery box, ideal for the holidays. Lockable, incl. 2 keys. Covered with imitation leather and lined with velvet.» That’s enough to make it a festive bestseller. Merry Christmas! It’s also available in white, by the way.

My Pen Studio by Clementoni isn’t just a bestseller; the very short – yet apt – product description also packs a punch: «Pen Lab». Two words are enough, with plenty of parents buying the Pen Creator Studio this Christmas. Recommended for age six and up.

Office chairs are always an exciting topic. Where else do office dwellers spend so much time? The Brandon by Songmics was the most ordered product in its category this month, with a corresponding delivery lead time (late January). It’s no longer in stock at our warehouse, so it has to be ordered first. Brandon has made itself popular with our customers.

While the Brandon chair surprises with its low price, it was a rather more expensive product that was ordered a record number of times this month: the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute. The vacuum cleaner impresses with the latest technology. And anyone who wants to know more will love the extremely detailed product description. What’s more, it’s already in our warehouse in Krefeld, so it can normally be delivered by DHL the next day.

Are any of these products familiar? Have you ordered any of them – or something similar – for Christmas?
