Gift Focus - Jul/Aug 2019 (Issue 114)

115 HOME & GIFT Village Candle has been making candles and home fragrance products for more than 25 years. At Home & Gift, visitors will be able to experience the new autumn and winter seasonal fragrances that are designed to bring comfort and glamour to homes. Village Candle’s AW19 collection includes a selection of must-have seasonal scents and introduces a collection of 12 new and limited-edition fragrances. Highlighted are the Glam Apple, Royal Nutcracker and Confetti Prosecco fragrances. Glam Apple is a modern take on the seasonal fruit. Tart apple is blended with floral notes of hibiscus and tropical orchid for autumn delight. Ocean water balances the fragrance, mingling with the tartness of the green apple. Confetti Prosecco brings a bright and light fragrance. Champagne is blended with passionfruit, pear and a hint of golden amber to brighten any mood. The Confetti Prosecco candle is ideal for gifting. Royal Nutcracker recreates the Christmas scene of a nutcracker stood outside a gingerbread house decorated with lemon sugared candies and cinnamon sticks to elicit a childlike joy. The fragrance balances spicy clove and sweet cinnamon. In addition, Village Candle recently announced the launch of two new collections celebrating Christmas and Halloween. The ghostly Halloween collection features three haunting fragrances: Haunted Mansion, Ghost Cemetery and Pumpkin Scarecrow. There are also three festive fragrances in the Christmas collection: Royal Nutcracker, ’Tis the Season and Winter Sparkle. The two distinctive new collections are a limited extension to the Fun Fantasy collection, which will also be on display at Home & Gift. The full collection includes five mystical fragrances inspired by glitter, sparkle, unicorns and mermaids. Also on the stand is the Presence collection, which launched in spring 2019 with seven extra-special fragrances. The fragrances are handcrafted with elements of soy and essential oils. The range embraces a less-is-more approach with simple designs and powerful fragrances. Village Candle is recognised globally as one of the best-loved candle brands on the market. The company’s aim is to elevate fragrance as an art form from its headquarters in Maine.

VILLAGE CANDLE Stand: A3 W: villagecandle.co.uk JEWELCITY Stand: C17 W: jewelcity.co.uk HOT OFF THE press After months of hard work, the Fable jewellery collection has been transformed and expanded, drawing inspiration from classic storyteller Beatrix Potter and her support of the National Trust and conservation of the British countryside. A range of cosmetics bags has been added to the aptly named Winter Hill, Velveteen Fox, Potter’s Garden and Grassmere collections. These include motifs such as a fox in shimmering velvet and a quintessential floral embroidered tweed. Fable’s first handbag collection will also be on show, combining silhouettes from the latest trends with its signature golden bee and themed linings. The range includes contemporary rucksacks, bucket bags and cross-body bags. The new scarves are chic and luxurious to touch, with prints of Jewelcity’s signature motifs to coincide with the new jewellery collection. Now in its second season, a touch of sparkle has been added to the jewellery collection. This includes crystallised acorns, shimmering bees and painted enamel foxes and detailed rabbits. In addition, Jewelcity will bring a collection of freshly designed handbags, cosmetic bags, scarves, headbands, belts and brooches for the festive seasons ahead. The branded ranges continue the company’s “best for the most” ethos. 
