This issue is all about the January fairs – which one are you attending? We have previews for Top Drawer, Giving & Living, Scotland’s Trade Fair Spring, Toy Fair, HOMI, January Furniture Show, Spring Fair Wales, Harrogate Christmas & Gift and, of course, Christmasworld. So, take your time, make notes and plan your time wisely at these all-important shows.
As we enter 2020, we’ll soon be celebrating Valentine’s Day and have a feature packed with inspiration; there’s also Gifts Under £10 to please any pocket; and with many people doing their best to protect planet Earth and human rights, we have a focus on Fair Trade.
Until I see you at the New Year shows, keep warm, keep shopping on the high street and enjoy the Christmas festivities.
Enjoy the issue!
