Gift Focus - Jan/Feb 2018 (Issue 105)

giftfocus 133 spring fair preview GLOBAL LUXURY BRANDS Stand: 4H55 globalluxurybrands.co.uk The start of a new year is always exciting as it brings with it a wealth of new pieces from our partner companies. This year De Rosa has excelled itself with new Rabbits, Dragons and Penguins. All of these pieces are hand-carved in a fine ceramic body before being fired, hand-painted, gilded and fired again. The skill put into even the smallest piece is just wonderful to watch. A truly one-of-a-kind range made by highly skilled artisans and stocked in the UK. Come and see the team at Spring Fair Stand 4H55 and at Scotland’s Trade Fair Stand K26. BEST KEPT SECRETS Stand: 4B33 bestkeptsecrets.co.uk Denise Edwards of Best Kept Secrets recently said, “Contrary to popular belief, candle sales hold up very well in spring. This is the second most important selling season of the year. Valentine’s Day together with Mothering Sunday and Easter are naturally crucial. The nights are still quite long so burning a candle in the evening remains high on many people’s agenda. This is no doubt why top selling fragrances in spring remain florals with Sweet Pea, Lavender and Geranium leading the charge. It’s as if we’re trying to create that outdoor feel, indoors.” In addition to the trusted favourites, Best Kept Secrets will have a range of new candles at Spring Fair, including an extension to the highly successful range of ‘Just Because’ occasion candles. The perfect gift for family, friends and those we care about. A new range of reed diffusers will be on show for the first time with an RRP of less than £10 and the triple fragranced Burning Gold collection is also offered at the same price point. Great products with fabulous fragrances at sensible prices. Best Kept Secrets offers a one-stop-shop for fragranced gifts including candles in glass and tins, natural hand-made soap, reed diffusers, bath bursts and fragranced gifts.
