THE MUSIC GIFTS COMPANY Stand: 4C01 W: musicgifts.co.uk The Music Gifts Company is proud to be at Spring Fair for the 24th consecutive year. The company is showcasing both the Music collection and its men’s range Element. Over the past few years there has been tremendous growth in the men’s gifts sector, and The Music Gifts Company has chosen to focus on this. Socks remain a bestseller for the company, which now has nearly 30 designs available. All of the company’s socks are produced from 95 per cent ring-spun cotton. David Gee, co-founder and owner, said: “For this year’s Spring Fair, we are moving to a great new location in Hall 4 Stand C01. We feel it is better suited to our products and much more convenient for our customers.” David continued: “Having concentrated so much on men’s gifts in the last few years, we feel we may have neglected our female customers, so the main product launch at Spring Fair is a wonderful new collection of silver jewellery. We are working with a new designer and we’re really thrilled with the results. It’s still so exciting to show what’s new and see customers’ reactions.”
