There are lots of things we love about creating the world’s best signed memorabilia. But among the very best of those things is when we hear from our customers about how we made their day, their month or their year. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s better still when we’re told we brought unbridled happiness to a child’s face, reduced a parent to tears of joy or, quite simply, when we’ve made another birthday extra special. It’s why we do what we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Icons we were thinking about what we could do in these uncertain times to bring more joy to the world. That’s when I remembered a phrase I like to use and one I try to live by: “choose generosity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, this week we’re launching Giveback Giveaways<\/strong> across both Icons.com<\/a> and A1 Sporting Memorabilia with the kind help of some of our closest partners, suppliers and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were thinking about what we could do to bring more joy to the world. That’s when I remembered… “choose generosity.”<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All throughout this week we’ll be asking our fans and followers to nominate someone deserving to receive something special from us in the hope that it will bring them joy in these difficult times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a warehouse full of amazing products, continued worldwide distribution, and a little extra time on our hands, we figured we could put our efforts into getting gifts out to people across the UK and around the world. We’ll gather ten prizes across the two sites each week and, via social media, try to find the heroes who deserve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not nominate a nurse or a doctor working all hours; self-isolating grandparents stuck indoors; or a sports-loving child bored with no-one to play with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We have signed shirts, photos and boots to giveaway, plus unsigned shirts, trophies, posters and footballs. With the help of our friends and colleagues at DHL International we can still get these great prizes out to all four corners of the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our company mottos is that “we believe in heroes” and while that usually means the icons of sport we work with, right now it’s the people on the frontline of this global crisis. They need our support the most in these trying times so we’re asking you to help us find them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay safe, take care, look after your own team and, once again, we thank you for your ongoing support.
