The people have spoken, and the results are in! Gift of the Year, organised by The Giftware Association, is thrilled to announce that Chi Cups by Chi Cups has been officially crowned the sixth People's Choice Champion, earning an overwhelming number of votes—nearly 20% of the total—and capturing the hearts of fans and supporters within their network. The award was announced at the Harrogate Home and Gifts Sundowners drink, held after the first day of trading.
Fabian Santoro, co-founder of Xpofairs and online tradeshow platform, explains more about the company and its new gift tradeshow for 2025, The Gift Fair. When did you start up the company and why? Officially, Xpofairs launched in 2024, but our story goes back much further. Our founders, (who have over 70 years of combined experience in exhibiting and visiting at traditional trade shows) have been grappling with the challenges of this industry for years. We started by talking to hundreds of companies and buyers, alongside reflecting on our own experiences.
