Particularly popular during summer months are the glamorous floral-printed canes, available in a variety of colours and patterns, including the pictured daisy print cane from the firm’s British Wildflowers collection. Managing director Charlotte Gillian explained: “For many people, having an attractive walking stick is both a way to express personal style and a great morale boost. When strangers stop you in the street to admire your cane, it is really a fashion accessory as much as it is a mobility aid. For this reason, they make wonderful presents, being both pretty and of practical use.” T: +44 (0)146 075 686 W: classiccanes.co.uk Scents have the power to transport you to any destination.

Debbie Isles, sales director at Candlelight Products, explained: “Our designers have captured some of the most vivid and memorable fragrances from across the globe. It’s not just the fragrances though – they have taken inspiration from the fabrics and textures of the Middle East, New England and Africa to create some truly awe-inspiring packaging.” T: +44 (0)1709 723 000 W: candlelight.co.uk 21 st Century Silver has some beautiful and bold designs to make a show this summer. The curvaceous set pictured is a recent addition to the range of more than 300 sterling silver designs. Owner Tony Greene, delighted with the way 2019 is going, said: “More and more retailers are finding that our well-made and well-priced contemporary jewellery fills a real gap in the market. Sterling silver that retails between £12-£35 makes a lasting gift in this society, where cheaper, throwaway jewellery is now seen as wasteful.” The full range of designs can be viewed online, or 21 st Century Silver is happy to arrange an agent to visit with samples.
