The show must go on
Having recently treaded the aisles at Autumn Fair, it was heartening to see such a great turn out and a slew of fantastic gift products. It was a great showcase of how our wonderful industry is resilient even in the face of such adversity such as COVID! 
This issue we are focusing on our Christmas products part two, Toys & Games, Women’s Jewellery & Accessories, and Greeting Cards. That’s all topped off with our regular dose of industry news, new products and insightful business advice.
