Gift Focus inc Attire Accessories - March/April 2021

WILD THING GIFTS The company says, “Just about every aspect of what we do is British, through and through. Not just the products, but the entire production line itself – they’re designed here, made here, quality checked here and shipped from here. As that has become a big selling point in recent times, we’ve adjusted our own marketing to reflect this fact and, in turn, our stockists can confidently pass this onto their customers. “Naturally with everything that’s going on, there’s even greater demand than ever for very personal, heartfelt gifts, doubly so if they’re handcrafted in Britain. We’ve certainly got the product to capitalise on it – interest in the Wild Things range has never been stronger.” +44 (0)1392 211 268 info@wildthingsgifts.com www.wildthingsgifts.com PINTAIL CANDLES The little fishing village of Flookburgh perches on the edge on Morecambe Bay, which is home to both a popular TV programme “The Bay” and to one of the UK’s best loved candle makers, Pintail Candles. Here, the candles are individually hand poured with many of the experienced candle making team living on the doorstep while their candles ingredients are sourced as close to home as possible. Even the candle tins and wicks are made in the UK. Adding to the British narrative of the candles, are fragrances that celebrate their local Lake District landscape and culture. These include a lively Lakeland Spring, a fresh Daffodil & Morning Dew, and a Wild Bilberry & Heather. In the winter, they make a scrumptious Sticky Toffee Pudding fragrance, while the real thing is made in the pudding factory next door. To promote the provenance of the candles, all are marked “Handmade in the UK” and some ranges include a specially designed Made in Britain logo. Owners James and Fiona Long are thankful that their British made approach has meant they have been less affected than most in the giftware and candle sectors, who have been struggling to cope with disrupted overseas supply chains over the past year. It also means they can quickly react to trends, which for 2021 has seen the introduction of charming new Wild Rose & Rhubarb and Daisy Chain fragrances to embrace the trend for all things floral and country chic. +44 (0)1539 559 007 info@pintailcandles.com www.pintailcandles.com CINNAMON AITCH UK greetings card company Cinnamon Aitch celebrates its 26 th year of bringing British made cards and gifts to retailers throughout the country and beyond.
