Show season
With the show season now fully under way, many of you will have enjoyed the delights of visiting Home & Gift in person, and will no doubt be reaping the benefits of the unrivalled opportunities that come from meeting and greeting face to-face, and being able to physically touch and see the products you want to stock in store. And with Boris Johnson having pressed the button on freedom day back in July, we’re delighted to be previewing a whole host of upcoming shows in the magazine.
Enjoy!
