schuh Presents: The Good Gift Exchange

Feeling festive yet? On Thursday 6th November, we’re bringing all the good vibes and Christmas spirit to Manchester’s city centre with The Good Gift Exchange: a one-day-only pop-up celebrating the joy of giving to others – and yourself!

It’s all part of our festive ‘Past, Present(s), Future’ campaign: a modern twist on the Dickens classic A Christmas Carol, where Cazzie finds her festive spark again with the help of her stylish spirit guide, Marley.

Past, Present(s), Future

The Good Gift Exchange brings Cazzie’s story to life – turning Manchester’s streets into a festive love letter to the magic of giving (and receiving). The kiosk will feature three hatches, each inspired by Past, Present(s), and Future:

Donate a past pair of shoes to receive a new pair in return – giving your old soles a new lease of life through our Sell Your Soles scheme.

Enjoy the present(s) moment with a matcha hot chocolate on us! This Christmas, we’re working to make the present brighter for others through our commitment to Do More Good. As part of this, we’re supporting akt, a charity helping LGBTQ+ young people in Manchester who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness – and we’re proud to say our donation will provide 68 nights off the streets this festive season.

Win free shoes for future you and a mate! Join the THE SCHUH CLUB and nominate a friend who deserves a little something special – plus, everyone gets a scratchcard for prizes from some of our favourite brands, like Timberland and Crep Protect.

Join schuh in spreading a little joy, one good gift at a time. 

The Good Gift Exchange opens for one day only on Thursday 6th November, between 11am-6pm at Statue of the Duke of Wellington, Stop R, Portland St, Manchester, M1 (What3Words location: pens.apron.relate). See you there!
