Gift Focus - Jan/Feb 2018 (Issue 105)

giftfocus 95 spring fair preview GAELTAG KELTIKA Stand: 4DO1 gaeltagkeltika.com Gaeltag Keltika is adding to its range of sentiment-based You Are An Angel figurines in response to the continuing success of the brand following the launch last year. The appeal of the range lies in the celebration of the special people that all of us are touched by in our lives. Building on this, the new You Are An Angel items will cover more occasions and will be available from January 2018, ready to launch at Spring Fair. They will all have a new look including: • New hairstyles. • New colours and metallics in a variety of finishes. • New variations in charm shapes featuring pearls and gems. The core collection of 155mm figurines is being increased with four new sentiments aimed at friendship, bringing the total now to 16. In addition, the existing larger 175mm figurines are being increased to a total of five. This now includes the ideal Mother’s Day gift First My Mother, Forever My Friend , which was previously a top seller in 155mm, but has now moved to the 175mm size in a different colour and treatment to refresh the look. The two completely new 175mm titles are Family Blessing and Guardian Angel – all themes aimed primarily at the celebration of family. Figurine RRP’s start at under £20. Spring Fair will also see the introduction of an entirely new – and right on trend – product range also developed by the Australian Aird Group – #Hashtags, and includes keyrings, magnets and notebooks. These products are designed to inspire, motivate and believe that anything is possible with the right attitude and determination. The collection comes in tailor-made merchandisers to ensure excellent consumer impact.
