Kick start your Christmas trading at Home & Gift
 

The retailers’ favourite buying show - Home & Gift - is just a few weeks away. Held on July 14-17, this well-loved event will once again occupy the Harrogate International Centre, and grounds of the Cairn and Majestic Hotels...

Over 1,000 exhibitors will congregate in Harrogate to present a seasonal round-up of design-led and every day gifts across homeware, fashion and jewellery, and greetings and stationery.

Exhibitors include: Gisela Graham, Lisbeth Dahl, Portmeirion, Container Group, Widdop Bingham, Joe Davies, Hill Interiors and more, many of which are exclusive to the show this season, such as Alessi, Kaemingk, Max Benjamin, Enesco, Cavallini, Linen House, Heaven Send, Platter Slate, Great Little Crate Company and IC innovations and many more.

A number of ranges will enjoy their first ever outing at Harrogate. From the Silver Slate Signature Collection by The Just Slate Company, to Nuzzles by Joe Davies and the No.20 range by Pintail Candles, Home & Gift makes the task of sourcing best-sellers a hassle free experience. Established exhibitors should not to be forgotten either as they continue to attract custom with the obtainment of new brand licenses - Pyramid with Dr Who and Half Moon Bay with Chupa Chups are just such examples!

Along with never-seen-before exhibitors and product launches, there will be an engaging new sector – Spotlight, located in Hall G. Accessed via Hall H; this area will present contemporary and design-led talent from across the UK. Highlights include Ohh Deer, White Leaf, Ping Ping Jewellery, Courgette Cards, BEECycle and many more. Spotlight will give buyers the opportunity to tap into previously undiscovered territory, providing a point of difference for their customers when compared with competitors.
