184 giftfocus hot of the press THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED Stand: 3S10 thelittledog.co.uk Heading into 2018 and its 20 th year, the Little Dog hopes it knows a thing or two about greetings cards and gifts. The newest range, due for launch in spring 2018, will kick off an exciting and well placed partnership supporting the RSPCA. An aptly titled It’s a Good Sign collection will highlight the Little Dogs enthusiasm to support a charity close to the company’s heart. The It’s a Good Sign collection will generously support the RSPCA’s work for the next three years. For every product sold the RSPCA will receive 10 per cent of wholesale price. This means that all products within the range will contribute to the RSPCA, no matter where the consumer buys them. Featuring greetings cards, glasses cases, mint tins, china mugs and keyring, the lines within the It’s a Good Sign range are sure to have global appeal in the giftware and greetings market. The sale of these products will help the animal welfare charity continue to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals in desperate need of care. Gavin Smith, Director of The Little Dog (and Anna Danielle’s big brother) says, “The Little Dog is always keen to continue its charitable work. Following on from a conversation with Ellen Camillin of the RSPCA at Autumn Fair, both sides felt like it was a great fit and indeed a “Good Sign”. We’re excited as a company to be supporting the RSPCA and all of the outstanding work that they do.” For more information, visit thelittledog.co.uk or email info@ thelittledog.co.uk.

RG AROMA DIFFUSERS & GIFTS Stand: 4D91 raregear.co.uk Rare Gear’s decorative ultrasonic aroma diffusers and humidifiers make a great gift as they enhance our general well-being and living space. They convert water and any added drops of pure essential oil into a cool fine mist using advanced ultrasonic technology, which is very soothing to watch as it disperses out from the diffuser. The humidifiers moisten and refresh the air which helps reduce dryness in the eyes, throat and skin. They’re also known to provide relief for cough and colds. The product can also act as an air cleaner – the ultrasonic technology charges the mist with negative ions known to clear dirt and pollutants. You can even enjoy an aromatherapy experience by adding a few drops of pure essential oil (not included) to create a soothing and therapeutic atmosphere. Most of Rare Gear’s diffusers have a colour-changing LED night light which creates a wonderful tranquil ambience.
