Store capitalises on Christmas advert cheer
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
John Lewis's latest Christmas advert dropped this morning, with the nation squeeing with delight as a penguin was saved from a lonely Christmas by a boy with the ability to source an amorous female penguin at short notice.
If you're looking for a memento from the advert to cherish forever, the department store has more than got your back.
Its website already has 39 Monty & Mabel-related items on sale, including:
A £95 45cm plush Monty toy with an expression of abject fear
Cufflinks for a festive business casual look
An admittedly pretty cute penguin onesie
An entire Monty & Mabel duvet cover and pillowcase set though?
Penguin magic face cloth (I don't know what this is)
Literature 'based on the John Lewis advert'
£35 scarf
Monty & Mabel material (in fairness – any excuse to mill around the calming haberdashery section)
