After a busy, cold show season I hope you’re looking forward to the warmer months ahead. It was good to see so many faces at Spring Fair and was lovely to be welcomed so warmly at Ambiente in Frankfurt – what a fantastic show! Check out our ‘On with the Show’ pages to read what went on during this important buying period. To find out the winners of the Giftware Association’s 2020 Gift of the Year Awards turn to page 45.
With Father’s Day around the corner we check out some gifts for him on page 38. And who doesn’t love their home fragranced to perfection? Admire the stunning candles and home fragrance selection from page 27.
This issue we have the preview for London Stationery Show, Hong Kong Gifts & Premium, Farm Shop & Deli Show and, of course, the British Craft Trade Fair. Alongside the BCTF preview we focus on gifts made in Britain. With a trend in eco-friendly products, reducing the carbon offset from the items we purchase is becoming more popular with buyers and consumers and we salute this step in the right direction. Lastly, if you want to read about a super company that exists wholly to generate funding for Dorothy House Hospice Care, our up & coming interview is with well-being company Ubiety, page 98. The products feel and smell amazing!
Enjoy the issue!

We all need a little lighthearted joy in our lives right now, and these planters from Joe Davies certainly provide that.
The Animal Pot Pal ceramic planters feature quirky characters such as a fox, pig, cat and bunny. Each one has a cute animal face and is finished with a colourful glaze and rustic matt biscuit effect for contrast.
They make great little gifts for the spring season, combining the two hot trends of succulent planters and country animals.
Plant herbs, mini plants, succulents or cacti in them to sell as the perfect home decoration purchase or even to display in store.
With great retail pricing ranging from £4.99 to £12.99 be sure to buy them quickly.
Joe Davies also offers free nationwide delivery, carriage paid orders of £100 and an easy to buy little and often ordering policy.
