This holiday season, celebrate our annual Blue Friday campaign from now until 30 November online and at the UN Bookshop. 

As part of our Blue Friday promotion, you will receive a free, newly-released white UN Emblem Pin with your purchase of $45.00 or more.

Additionally, if you visit the UN Bookshop in person, you’ll receive a complimentary reusable UN Bookshop Gift Bag along with your purchase. 

We’re offering a wide selection of gifts for friends, family, and colleagues and are excited to share gift guides with our favourite items to inspire you. Take a look at the images above or follow us (@UNPublications) on social media:

For children, find a new furry friend with the UN Emblem Teddy Bear or Bengal Tiger.

For colleagues, the Bookshop has a large selection of stationary, including sustainably sourced notebooks made entirely from apples to ease you into the new year at work.

We have decorations, like the Dove of Peace Ceramic Ornament, to bring cheer into your home and gifts to combat cold weather, such as the UN Emblem Beanie Hat and Umbrella, which are perfect for watching holiday lights turn on. 

By shopping at the UN Bookshop, you make sure that the gifts you buy this holiday season are sustainable and support the work of the United Nations.

Sida, an intern at the Department of Global Communications from China, shared her reasons for purchasing gifts from the UN Bookshop: 

"When my nephew heard that I was doing my internship at the UN, he was excited and said that he also would like to work at the UN when he grew up. The Blue Friday Campaign gives me a great opportunity to bring my nephew some UN gifts. I can't wait to see him this holiday season and see what he looks like in the Peacekeeper Toy Helmet and tell him more about the mission of UN Peacekeeping.”

Happy Holidays from your UN Publications and UN Bookshop Team!
