All 'pouffed' up after winning three new product awards


Fallen Fruits is celebrating after winning three awards at this year's Glee New Product Showcase.

 It's fantastically fruity ‘Outdoor Pouffes’ won first prize in the Leisure Products category, with judges praising the fun Pouffes for their originality, practicality and vibrant design.  The Pouffes are available as a segment of kiwi, orange or watermelon and come with a removable, waterproof cover making cleaning and drying easy.

"Outdoor accessories no longer have to blend into the background. Consumers are looking for fun items that stand out and create a talking point in their gardens," explains Michael Hall, managing director of Fallen Fruits.

"The ‘Outdoor Pouffes’ are a great example of how a practical product can still be fun, colourful and unique.  All Fallen Fruits designs are based around nature and the ‘Outdoor Pouffes’ are no different - we've just looked towards more colourful, fruity inspirations!" adds Michael.

Fallen Fruits Hobnail Glass bird baths and feeders were also recognised, coming third in the Pet and Wildlife Products category.  This collection of beautiful clear and coloured glass bird baths and feeders has a vintage feel and makes the perfect alternative to traditional wood or stone.

The ‘Lovers Umbrella’, which has been uniquely designed to shelter two people side by side comfortably, came second in the Home and Giftware category.  With its beautiful white lovebird motif on a black background it is as stylish as it is practical.

"It has been a fantastic start to Glee for us with three of our new products, all launched at the show, being placed in the prestigious New Product Showcase.  We have a lot of faith in our products and knew they would be popular but being recognised by our industry peers is a huge honour.

"We are looking forward to the rest of the show and introducing all of our new products, even those that did not win an award, to visitors," adds Michael.

Garden retailers can contact Fallen Fruits for more information about these and other products by contacting the company on 01584 873377 or by emailing sales@fallenfruits.co.uk.
