Shelter Scotland’s Stockbridge shop welcomes back its January extravaganza for 2025

Following a record-breaking event in 2024, Shelter Scotland’s legendary January Stockbridge new year launch event returns for its 22nd year on Friday 3 January 2025.

Running since 2003, the event attracts excited shoppers from across Edinburgh and beyond.

Every year, staff and volunteers at the Stockbridge shop offer up a huge range of some of the most exciting and intriguing items donated over the course of the year.

With a scintillating selection on offer, this year’s event is sure to create a real buzz among Edinburgh’s collectors, connoisseurs and fashionistas.

Bookworms can get their hands on signed David Attenborough books and a 'New Edition' 1858 copy of Wuthering Heights.

There’s also vintage amber Bakelite beaded jewellery up for grabs and a pristine Bob Mackie Barbie.

All that in addition to: Gucci, Chanel, Burberry, Ralph Lauren, a selection of collectable vinyl records and CDs and fine crystal glassware.

Director, Alison Watson, said:

“For more than two decades now the Shelter Scotland’s January Stockbridge launch event has been marked in the calendars of Edinburgh’s discerning shoppers.

“Scotland’s housing emergency now means there are more than 10,110 children in Scotland with nowhere to call home and more and more people are becoming homeless.

“Your support keeps us in the fight against homelessness, so ahead of this exciting event I’d like to thank all our customers and donors for their generosity.”

Stockbridge Shop Manager, Peter Jew, added:

“I can’t wait to welcome all our customers to our annual January sale event in Edinburgh.

“This is a chance to showcase and celebrate our donations and we’re immensely grateful to everyone who contributed.

“We have a truly magnificent selection on offer, this is a great opportunity to grab something special while supporting Shelter Scotland in the fight against the housing emergency.”
