No Comments

Who says ugly sweaters have to be truly ugly?

The Grinch themed Christmas sweaters are the most popular sweaters in America this year.

Americans love Christmas sweaters inspired by Christmas movies. Die Hard themed sweaters are the second most popular this Christmas. Home Alone and Gremlins are the third and fourth most popular Christmas movie sweaters.   

Sweaters themed from Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch are consistently the most popular.    

The research conducted by Boohoo analyzed the monthly US search volume for the Christmas movie-themed clothing to establish which Christmas sweater is the most sought-after this holiday season.  Searches for the term ‘Grinch Christmas Sweater’ averaged at 4,000 times per month in the United States, proving how much fans are willing to be seen wearing a green Grinch-style sweater.     

About The Grinch

The Grinch first hit screens as a TV special on CBS in December 1966, which featured the green cartoon storybook character causing mayhem in the world of Whoville. In the year 2000, Jim Carrey took on the role of the Grinch and brought Whoville to the big screens in How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The most recent film within the Grinch franchise, The Grinch, was released in 2018 as an animated adaptation of the Christmas classic.

About Die Hard 

 Die Hard , the second most popular Christmas movie sweater is worn by Karl Vreski, portrayed by Alexander Godunov, in Die Hard. Karl is the main antagonist’s right-hand man and the only character not killed by John McClane (Bruce Willis) in the movie. The Christmas sweater in question is a grey knitted number with ‘Now I Have a Machine Gun – HO HO HO’ written on the front, paired with a Santa hat.     

Searches for ‘Die Hard Christmas sweater’ receive 3,200 searches per month, on average in the USA. Many speculate whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie due to its action/thriller genre, which caused the writer to note that the film is set at a Christmas party during the holidays and features many Christmas songs, meaning it is a Christmas film.   

 Home Alone

The 1990 classic Home Alone places third in the rankings, which features a young Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) who is accidentally left alone at Christmas time and faced with scaring off two burglars from breaking into his house. During the film, Kevin looks cozy in a few different winter knits, but the most iconic is the heathered red knit that surprisingly can hold his entire weight when he is hung on a coat hook. Despite the red knit not being the craziest of prints, it hasn’t stopped film fans from wanting to get their hands on a Home-Alone themed sweater for themselves.  Searches for ‘Home Alone Christmas sweater’ average 2,000 searches per month in the US.

The Gremlins

Fourth place in the rankings goes to Gremlins, released in 1984 and follows the shenanigans and destruction forced upon the small town of Kingston Falls, by a horde of mischievous monsters. The comedy-horror, written by Home Alone director Chris Columbus, is an unusual tale for a Christmas movie but presents some of the most valued messages common in holiday movies, such as the importance of loyalty and kindness.   Searches for ‘Gremlins Christmas Sweater’ average 1,250 searches per month in the US, proving just how popular the miniature furry beasts are and how much fans want to rock a green Gremlin-themed sweater this holiday season. 

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

 The 1989 slapstick comedy National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation places fifth in the rankings and is the third instalment in the National Lampoon Magazine’s Vacation film series. Searches for ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Sweater’ average around 800 searches per month in the USA. The film follows Father, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), wanting to give the perfect Christmas holiday to his family which turns out to become quite the task. The film’s budget is estimated to have been $28 million (£22 million) and ended up seeing $74 million (£62 million) worldwide gross.    

   A spokesperson from Boohoo commented on the findings:

“Christmas movies are the ultimate way to get into the Christmas spirit. With office parties, family photos and Christmas sweater competitions taking place over this time of year, it is exciting to see just how many of our most iconic and beloved movies influence our Christmas wardrobes and how many people want to get their hands on a festive-themed sweater.”

Navigating a Workplace Romance – Top 5 tips

No Comments
A holiday is good opportunity to spark up a workplace romance but remember office romances are notorious for going wrong. Here are tips to help you navigate it.
The festive season is creeping up as the the annual work Christmas party countdown begins. This holiday party is the perfect chance to see your colleagues in a more natural environment, have a few drinks with work friends and celebrate the year.

It is also a good opportunity to spark up a workplace romance but remember office romances are notorious for going wrong. The phrase “don’t dip your nib in the office ink” is important to repeat to yourself.

To help you through this tumultuous romantic time, sexual wellness brand www.lovehoney.com has spoken to clinical sexologist and therapist, Ness Cooper .

Here are five ways you can navigate a workplace romance:

Establish What Both Parties Desire 
“Do you want to have a long-term committed relationship or just something that lasts briefly? Is it all about the thrills and no emotional connection or are you looking for someone you want to get to know further and more personally? Do you want your fellow work colleagues to know, or do you both want to keep the relationship secret? “

Knowing the answers to some of these questions will help you not only navigate the relationship but will help you both work out whether or not you should continue it.

Talk to HR or Check your Work Policy
“You may find that the company you work for has a policy for office romances where certain behaviour is acceptable or not. Some companies also have a clear no-dating policy. Once you’ve both worked out what type of relationship you have, finding out if it’s ok in your workplace is important, as sometimes office romances can lead to instance job terminations or tribunals even when they are consensual.”

Keep personal relationship discussions at home 
“Even if they seem like positive conversations; keeping both positive and negative relationship talks for when you’re in private at home is important so you don’t disrupt the work environment. Arguments within the workplace aren’t the greatest of places to talk things through and will often allow for space for you to stay within fight or flight mode for longer as you’re having to juggle workplace expectations and tasks.”

Avoid flirting too much in front of other work colleagues. 
“It can be hard to hide those natural attractions and feelings, but forcing work colleagues to witness flirtatious behaviour not only puts them in an awkward position that they haven’t consented to, but it has also been shown to reduce work satisfaction and enjoyment for colleagues. There may be many reasons why colleagues may be unformattable witnessing fellow workmates flirting with each other and it can lead to these colleague connections not being as strong as before.”

If the relationship ends, keep things professional. 
“Making sure you are both prepared if things don’t work out is important, and understanding that if you both have to continue to work together, you need to keep things professional. If you can’t work together after a breakup, working out if it’d be better to change jobs or not is important to avoid unnecessary work upset and conflict.”
