Gift Focus - Sep/Oct 2018 (Issue 109)

90 gift focus GROOVY UK Stand: Hall 4 Stand C40-D41 groovyuk.com Groovy will be exhibiting with its distributor, Fizz Creations, at Autumn Fair. Groovy’s philosophy in the world of official licensed giftware is designing and creating original products in- house across bathrobes, jumpsuits, loungers, slippers, bags, lighting and more. 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 the company. Groovy is enjoying an exciting period, having just signed brand-new licences such as Mr. Men, Gudetama, Brandalised, Jimmy The Bull and Frida Kahlo, boosting Groovy's creativity and distinctive style alongside growing new product areas within its licences. Harry Potter continues to be a fabulous licence for the company, and the design team constantly refreshes the range with fabulous new lines. These include a Golden Snitch range, which comprises a backpack with silver wings, luxury wash and cosmetic bags, bathrobes and slippers with beautifully embroidered Golden Snitches and bathrobes that look like the Hogwarts house coats, as well as one that looks like Harry’s coat with stripy scarf. There is something for every Potter fan. The second Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie is out at the end of this year, and the Groovy team has created some amazing suitcase-style bags along with weird and wonderful creature-inspired products. Other ranges include Deadpool, the tongue-in-cheek superhero – a great fit for the team, who don’t take life too seriously – and the new Marvel ranges, which include The Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Panther, Ant-Man and cinema’s new antihero, Venom. Star Wars is still a favourite, and Groovy has designed a range inspired by the new Hans Solo film. Products include a Hans Solo bathrobe embroidered with his trusty blaster and a Rebellion range for all those fans fighting for the Rebel Alliance. Hans’ furry friend, Chewbacca, is always a firm favourite and features via a Chewie fur bathrobe, slippers and jumpsuit. Groovy develops new ranges in line with current trends in movies, TV and fashion, as well as always comprising a sense of humour to add fun in sharing gifts. Licence partners include: Star Wars, Marvel, DC Comics, Suicide Squad, Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts, Assassin’s Creed, Mr. Men, Dr. Who, Rocky, Frida Khalo, Gudetama and Brandalised and are always adding more. show time
