At today’s launch Frankie revealed her plans for the perfect family Christmas this year, how she’ll be looking to gift husband Wayne an ‘experience’ he’ll never forget… and how her heart is set on 2018 being the year she finally gets round to learning how to cook!

Broadcaster and singer Frankie Bridge has helped launch Disney Store’s 2017 Christmas campaign when she visited London’s Oxford Street Disney Store to get a special preview of their seasonal shopping experience Gift Magic, which from today, for the duration of the festive shopping period, will be available to guests at Disney Stores throughout the UK.

As Frankie experienced first-hand, a special surprise awaits all guests who visit Disney Stores nationwide, as everyone will be welcomed by Disney gift experts, the Gift Heroes, who will be on hand to help find the perfect gift for each family member. Making the shopping experience just a little bit more magical, the experienced Gift Heroes are immersed in all things Disney, Marvel and Star Wars and have the most in-depth knowledge on the latest toys, gifts and collectibles that will suit guests of all ages.

The Gift Heroes will also host special in-store events for guests. Families can participate in the free in-store crafting activity to create and personalise their own gift tags or recreate the fun at home by visiting the events page on the Disney Store website and downloading the tags.

Talking about her Gift Magic experience at Disney Store, Frankie Bridge said "With fun activities on the day and the Gift Heroes being on hand to help advise about the best presents to buy - it'll be a real Christmas shopping experience. I’m now feeling very festive after my visit to Disney Store to experience their Gift Magic!"

This festive season guests can also find magical gift inspiration online by browsing the Christmas Gift Guide at www.disneystore.co.uk to find Christmas gifts and stocking fillers fit for little princesses, adventurers of all ages or the ultimate Disney fan. Featuring a broad range of presents from personalised pyjamas for kids to Marvel action figures, a Pua soft toy, and an adorable Chip mug from Beauty and the Beast, the Christmas Gift Guide is set to make finding the perfect present easier than ever.

Additionally, every Monday a new Gift of the Week will be revealed with a new amazing offer at a special price, which will be offered for one week only in-store and online, and a sneak peak at next week’s offer will be available at the same time.

And a helping hand in the gift department sounds exactly what the busy mum of two, Frankie, could do with to help her to get set for a huge family get-together with hers and husband Wayne’s families coming together for a lively Christmas day with all the trimmings.

Revealing her fun festive plans Frankie said “We are spending Christmas with all the family. Both mine and Wayne's come together for a big feast. I love the whole festive season to be as busy as possible with loads of yummy food and lots of Christmas songs! I start playing them as soon as Halloween is over!”

Talking about this year’s Christmas gifts, she commented “Wayne and I love buying pressies for each other but we're both so hard to buy for. We actually like buying 'experiences' for each other. Wayne loves snowboarding. I'll treat him to a new board or a weekend away (with hopefully lots of snow!).”

She added “Now that we have the boys I never really think about what I want as much, it is all about them. Lately we’ve been going more for things like a nice break away together. Makes us sound old - but I just love being away with the three of them.”

Looking forward to 2018, Frankie revealed that whilst she is not usually one to make a resolution, she does have some culinary plans up her sleeve – as she says she’ll be hitting the recipe book hard to learn how to cook in 2018.

She revealed “I don’t normally make New Year’s resolutions because I never stick to them,” said Frankie, adding “I probably should! I think in 2018 I'm finally going to learn how to cook!”
