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!

Inspired by the organisation and planning method of the bullet journal, My Creative Journals from ExaClair make it possible to create the perfect agenda to meet the users' needs.
Both practical and playful, they can be customised according to personal tastes and imagination. These handy A5 notebooks are filled with 208 pages of ultra-smooth Clairefontaine velvety vellum 90gsm paper (featuring 16 index pages + 16 pages per month). Each pre-printed month has its own colour theme with pages that feature a dot grid design. The journals also come with a stencil and decal sticker set.
Lawrence Savage, Marketing Manager at ExaClair, explains why this range is so on-trend: “With more people spending time at home, these creative journals engage with the current popularity of journaling, whilst the stencil and decal sticker sets add an extra fun element to getting organised. They are available in three designs; Sweety, Mystery and Fruity.”
