Gift Focus - Jan/Feb 2018 (Issue 105)

110 giftfocus WILD THINGS GIFTS Stand: 4C61 wildthingsgifts.com Wild Things has been showing at the Spring Fair for more than 20 years. The company started there as part of the strictly curated Focal Point design group. “We have always tried to design and make everything in the UK – the result being that virtually all our products are unique to us,” says Jules Vahrman. “We like to think we’re probably the largest company in the world in our niche – producing quality gifts incorporating Swarovski crystal. “The Spring Fair is an opportunity to see the latest stage in our evolution. If you offer personalisation we have a new range that will be of particular interest – the new engravable Crystal Fantasies, made with stainless steel motifs. “A new self-lit display will enable customers to show off a wide range of Wild Things products within a very small space. In fact, we Wild Things pride ourselves on being able to offer one of the best ratios of turnover to footprint in the gift industry.” There will be special show discounts on Wild Things Gifts starter packs, which of course include the displays. The company’s experience is that items sell so well that generally the starter pack is the start of a long-term relationship! All the best sellers will be on show, including Crystal Fantasies, Guardian Angels and the Fantasy Glass range, with its 24 carat gold embellishments. In addition, Wild Things is developing a new jewellery range, which is still evolving as we go to press. Illustrated here are two of the company’s best sellers – the Heart of Hearts, and Tree of Life Crystal Fantasy Jules, Vicky, Kate, Liz, Sally and Sarah – some of the Wild Things – will see you there.
