Perfect products to gift 
This issue we focus on products that are perfect for Father’s Day, Made in Britain, Candles & Home Fragrance, and Stationery.
And not forgetting the businesses - and people - that make the industry what it is, we also throw the spotlight on two companies that are a mainstay of the gift industry. Lesser & Pavey and Groovy UK both have inspirational stories that led to them being the stalwarts they are today – check out their stories on pages 65 and 68 respectively.
As always we have a round-up of industry news, new products and show news.
Enjoy the issue!
