It’s that time of year again: The world of retail has to start thinking about Christmas. Put aside the deceptively bright weather and get into the festive spirit with the first part of our Christmas gift guide, starting on page 55. For a spookier selection, we also take a look at everything you need to dress a shop window for Halloween on page 29.
Clinging to the last of the sunshine, we preview the beautiful Harrogate Home & Gift with an in-depth look at some of the best exhibitors and all of the information you need to help you navigate the show floor. Hopefully the weather holds! In other show news, we look at the new format for HOMI’s September edition, Formex’s new hall layout and what to expect if you visit Glee. Home accessories, men’s accessories and photo frames and albums are highlighted alongside our roundup of industry news, show news and the Brand Spanking New features.
Next issue Rachel returns to the magazine – yes, it has been a year already! With Home & Gift around the corner, she’s back at the perfect moment to pop along to Harrogate. I’m sure you’ve all missed her. I’ll be leaving the magazine to pursue other projects, but I’ve loved working with you all!
