GIBSONS Stand: 5E30-F31 gibsonsgames.co.uk Gibsons has been extra busy this year and is releasing more than 50 new jigsaw puzzles in time for Spring Fair 2018. Joining Gibsons’ successful licensed range of gift jigsaws is the Rubik’s Cube. Rubik’s Cube is more than just a toy – it’s a mathematical wonder, a competitive pursuit and an emblem of the ’80s. Gibsons has taken the iconic cube and turned it into a devilishly difficult, double- sided, 500-piece impossi-puzzle. Presented in a giant tin version of the much-loved toy, the Rubik’s Cube jigsaw puzzle is definitely not for the faint-hearted! Finally, Gibsons is releasing 50 new jigsaws that will be available in an array of piece counts, from 100XXL to 2,000 pieces. Some of the new artwork includes a breathtakingly patriotic scene painted by Steve Crisp, some cheeky kittens causing mischief in a sweet shop by Steve Read and bright and beautiful ’60s high-street scene by Val Goldfinch. GROOVY UK LTD Stand: 6J27 groovyuk.com Groovy’s philosophy in the world of official licensed giftware is creating original products across bathrobes, jumpsuits, loungers, slippers, bags and lighting. Having a product with a unique selling point is often what makes the difference and Groovy’s Different by Design motto is working well for them. Harry Potter continues to be a fabulous license for the company and the design team continually refresh the range with fabulous new lines. With a Golden Snitch backpack, with silver wings and bathrobes that look like the Hogwarts House coats as well as one that looks like Harry’s coat too with stripy scarf, there’s something for every Potter fan. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them were signed last year, and with a new movie out next year the team have done some amazing suitcase style bags along with weird and wonderful creature inspired products. Groovy is enjoying a very exciting period at the moment having just signed brand new licenses such as Mr. Men, Game of Thrones, Brandalised, Jimmy The Bull and Frida Kahlo, boosting the creativity and one-of-a-kind style of Groovy, alongside growing new product areas within its licenses. One of the more mainstream new launches will be DeadPool , the tongue-in-cheek superhero is a great fit for the team, who don’t take life too seriously, alongside the new Marvel-ous mini Look-ALites and keychain which are really giving Star Wars a run for their money. Not forgetting the box office smash success of Wonder Woman and Thor this year already and pending new Star Wars movie, Groovy is sure to have a great 2018! It’s showtime
