Gift Focus - Jul/Aug 2018 (Issue 108)

76 giftfocus exhibitor profiles XYSTOS Stand: Hall Q, Stand C17-18 & 20 xystostrade.co.uk Xystos will unveil nine new bath and body collections from Baylis & Harding and three new ranges from Splosh – its new Australian partner – as it strengthens its lifestyle gifting portfolio at Home & Gift. Renowned for its flame and fragrance offering from leading brands such as Village Candle and personal care specialist Di Palomo, Xystos will also be introducing a new candle range under its own Cello brand, which earlier this year saw the launch of Birch Bark hand- crafted candles. Spearheading the Baylis & Harding Autumn/Winter introductions is The Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit Collection, which sees the return of its best-selling fragrance, with the stylish geometric print cleverly incorporating presents of all shapes and sizes and setting the tone for the gifting season. Baylis & Harding has personal care covered from head to toe and includes products that range from a bar of soap to a luxury wicker hamper that includes bath and shower crème, body cleanser, bath soak crystals and a wash mitt. Its Boudoire Secret Garden Collection is simply stunning, featuring a striking floral design set against a dark background and accented with rose gold foil – all complementing the Midnight Rose Petals fragrance. The Jojoba, Silk & Almond Oil Collection is a gorgeous fragrance fusion that enhances the blush pink and rose gold packaging – a truly luxurious range. The Naturals Collection has a delicate Oatmeal, Milk and Honey fragrance that will sooth the senses and leave the skin feeling soft and nourished. Delicately fragranced with Pink Magnolia and Pear Blossom, The Royale Garden Collection from Baylis & Harding is a bold new floral design that incorporates pinks and gold set against a muted grey background, while La Maison is inspired by the coolness of a winter in Provence. It brings together chic, neutral tones with luxurious styling to create a stunning range of gifts delicately fragranced with Fig & Cassis for the ultimate indulgence. The Skin Spa Winter Wonderland Collection blends calming rosemary and eucalyptus with the refreshing fragrance of white tea to create an indulgent spa experience within the home. Baylis & Harding’s Fuzzy Duck Cotswolds Floral Collection – inspired by the company’s surroundings – has fragrances of Woodland Bluebell and Wild Flower Meadow, which beautifully enrich the exquisite design, while the local countryside was also the inspiration for The Fuzzy Duck Winter Wonderland Collection, which has a Frosted Christmas Tree and Mulberry & Mistletoe fragrances. Splosh Fairy Houses have flown out since Spring Fair, and Xystos will be hoping for great things from the three ranges launching in Harrogate. The Art of Cats has images of furry friends on mugs, cushions, journals and notebooks, tote bags and sticky notes, while the Precious Pets range has pictures of different breeds of dogs on mugs, as well as photo frames carrying tributes to them and hanging door signs of various breeds. Celebration Glasses from Splosh are a fun way to mark any occasion, such as the stemless wine glass, which comes with a fabric gold-glitter wearable crown or hat that clips to the hair. The glass design, for any kind celebration, has a gold foil confetti print with a wish that reads 'Congrats to you'. Xystos director Tom Sykes says: “We are a one-stop shop for busy retailers. We offer high-quality candles and bath and body products, as well as a strong range of lifestyle gifts that sell through because they meet the needs of today’s consumer.”
