Where to buy Comic Relief 2025 merchandise, from red noses to iPhone cases
This year marks Red Nose Day's 40th birthday. The annual fundraising campaign, which lands on 21 March, has been making people laugh over the last four decades to raise money for charitable causes here in the UK and around the world. As for the Red Nose Day theme this year? It's going retro in celebration of its 40th.
The lineup for 2025 brings back iconic red noses from the Eighties, Nineties and 2010s, from the original nose, which is plain and simple, to a nose with hands, another with a face, and a dinosaur-themed nose. And there's a fun twist too – you won't know which one you'll receive. To mark the big 4 0, there's also a cupcake nose in the collector pack, and there's a sparkly, rare ruby nose too (count yourself lucky if you get this one).
From an iPhone case to a bucket hat, and collaborations with Aardman, Disney, and Mr Men and Little Miss, there's a range of Red Nose Day merchandise which can be found at the Comic Relief Shop or across retailers such as TK Maxx and Amazon this year.
The money raised will help Comic Relief support community food centres, local youth safe spaces, homeless, and make sure there is a safe passage for people escaping danger.
So, whether you're following the Morning Live presenters' 24-hour roller disco, rooting for Jamie Laing who will be running from London to Manchester, or holding your own Red Nose Day fundraiser, the Red Nose Day fun is just around the corner, and this year's red noses and merchandise are now available to buy. Keep scrolling for this year's lineup.
Making Red Nose Day's 40th anniversary, this year, Comic Relief has designed five red noses, all of which pay homage to iconic red noses from the last forty years – and you could get any one of them given that it's totally random. Will you be one of the one in 125 people to receive the rare ruby nose? Count yourself lucky if you do. And, a surprise awaits inside the red nose's box – remember to scan the QR code to find out what it is. At least £1.50 from the purchase of the red nose will go to Comic Relief.
