giftfocus 95 spring fair preview exhibitor profiles XYSTOS Stand: 4H50-J51 W: xystostrade.co.uk Xystos scents a Spring Fair winner with new Cello products as Splosh makes a splash. The Cello home fragrance collection of candles, reed diffusers and accessories will lead the charge for a one-stop shop at Xystos, with a raft of new products at Spring Fair. The spring/summer launch sees the addition of three new scents, Ginger Fizz, Cucumber Spritz and Poppy Blush, in different- sized jars – as well as wax medallions, scent cups, standard and hourglass reed diffusers and essential oils. These follow the strong- selling autumn/winter fragrances of Frosted Pine, Winter Mittens and Mistletoe Kiss. Cello’s new ultrasonic diffusers will be introduced in three styles with colours to suit all décor. These are spearheaded by six decanters: Exotic Scales, Ocean Floor, Golden Rays, Galaxy Swirl, Nebular and Marble. The Signature ultrasonic diffusers, meanwhile, use fragrance-burst colours and red and blue. There is also a simple dreamcatcher design. Essential oils are being launched for the ultrasonic diffusers, comprising the UK’s 12 bestselling fragrances – which feature throughout the Cello collection – as well as five original, exclusive scents, Rosemary Mint, Jasmine, Chamomile, Ylang-ylang and Sandalwood, and three new spring/summer fragrances. Cello also adds six new porcelain accessories – cat, dog, unicorn, dolphin, cherub and flower – in tea light domes and barrel-shaped and straight electric melt burners. Eight new Splosh ranges are also being introduced. Hamptons features a variety of coastal homewares that incorporate soft white-washed wood and deep blue coral reefs that capture the essence of beachside living, while the Magnolia homewares collection brings the simplistic elegance of magnolias into the home, mixed with organic textures and trending tones of off-white and olive green. The Splosh Mushrooms range features messages such as “you are the sunshine that lights up my life,” while Travel Maps enable the adventurous to pin where they’ve been and where they want to go. There are new Mini Change Boxes for savers and hanging Loving Hearts with sentimental sayings. Message Boxes enable well-wishers to leave their kind thoughts on special occasions. Little Boxes of Love – bearing inscriptions such as Our Friendship, Our Love Story and Mum and Dad – are available, complete with new introductions. Bath and body products will also be at the fore. Di Palomo continues to win admirers with its range of appealingly presented products such as Black Cherry and Wild Fig & Grape, while The Naked Bee’s Orange Blossom Honey bath and body products range from shampoo to restorative foot balm. Look out, too, for Himalayan Chef products – perfect for foodies – as well as the brand’s Himalayan Glow natural salt lamps and stunning centrepieces.
