January/February 2022
 
Ethical living 

As the first magazine of the year, we like to give you a full array of features and this issue we focus on, wait for it, Mother’s Day, Easter, Anniversary Gifts, and Kitchenware & Houseware products – we have all bases covered for the lucrative Q1!  

With the recent Cop26 event still prevalent in my mind, in this issue’s Editor Blog I look at ways in which the independent giftware market can help reduce their environmental footprint, and help tackle the ongoing climate crisis.  

We, of course, still have our regular features, so delve in to read industry news, discover the brand new products on the market, and get some expert business advice.

Government announces ‘Calls for Views’ for design and intellectual property
 
Following its recent survey on the Designs Framework, the IPO has now also announced a major Call for Views on Design and IP, which is long overdue to support an important UK sector that is a USP on a world stage.

Design is a national and international asset for Great Britain and is also an impressive export sector. This is an excellent opportunity for designers/manufacturers and all those engaged who use design to innovate in many different sectors to examine whether current design laws are fit for purpose and respond by reviewing the existing Designs Framework.
