London, 16th December 2020 - Pandora is revealed as one of the most cherished Christmas gifts that consumers have ever received, according to new Klarna research.
In a recent survey of 2k Klarna app users*, Jewellery was the second most popular item that consumers considered as the best Christmas gift they’d ever received. At the top of this category, the majority of Christmas memories were linked to receiving a present from Pandora, with 14% of all jewellery memories mentioning the brand.
Pandora shoppers have been able to pay with Klarna since November, with both Pay in 30 Days and Instalments available, enabling consumers to spread the cost of their purchases interest and fee free.
To celebrate their new partnership and help out with the Christmas shopping, Klarna and Pandora are revealing the trends set to dominate this Christmas.
Pandora’s gift recommendations this Christmas.
- Bracelets: The foundation of many Pandora purchases is the bracelet itself, with the owner then able to add and collect charms. Two twists on the classic gift this year are the Heart Clasp Snake Chain Bracelet (our favourite take of the most popular charm bracelet) and the Pandora Reflexions Bracelet, a stylish new take on the classic.
- Charms: The perfect addition for any Pandora lover, here are our picks for 2020.
