THE MUSIC GIFTS COMPANY Stand: DP3-13 musicgifts.co.uk Having exhibited at Harrogate since 2000, this year’s show sees The Music Gifts Company to a new location within DP3. As well as the music-themed gifts, there is also its men’s range Element which was launched at Harrogate just three years ago. At this year’s show, Music Gifts has taken the bold move to show the two ranges on a combined stand. By doing this, Music Gifts wants to stress that customers can select products from both ranges with the benefit of just one supplier. As a combined stand is more economical, they want to pass on the saving to customers, by offering five per cent discount on all orders placed at the show. Being their last show of the year, this means that all the new gifts for Christmas are being showcased. Highlights include four glasses cases (two music-themed, one cycling and one golf) as well as fridge magnets, socks, ties, cards, mugs and the return of photo frames. Element has a great new selection of cheeky gifts for sporting enthusiasts, available as socks, mugs and birthday cards. LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME Stand: DP2-19 littlebirdtoldme.co.uk Little Bird Told Me is renowned for its stylised and innovative infant rocking horses and animals. Following on from the huge success with Celeste and Fae Rocking Unicorn comes its unisex stablemate, Moonbeam & Rae. This stunning rocking unicorn features an exquisite starry-printed fabric body in delicate shades of powder blue and grey and a silvery soft chenille mane, tail and saddle. Included with the unicorn is Rae, an adorable co-ordinating little teddy bear that fits snugly into Moonbeam’s pocket. Moonbeam & Rae Rocking Unicorn is available from August and is suitable for children aged nine months and up. It comes complete with a scrunchy mane and tail, smartly painted wooden rockers, handles and detachable foot plates.
