With less than two months to go to The Gift Awards on 15 May, Mark Jones, commercial director of Gisela Graham, sponsors of The Greats Best Non-Specialist Retailer of Gifts category, tells GiftsandHome.net why the company is, once again, backing The Greats Awards 2025.
“It’s important to us as a leading business in the gifts industry to champion others who are also innovating in this wonderful space,” states Mark. “As we’re famous for own displays, we’re always excited to see what others are creating and gain great pleasure from providing our support through sponsorship of The Greats Best Non-Specialist Retailer of Gifts category.”
Continues Mark: “At Gisela Graham, the first three months of 2025 have been all about Christmas, and the year has started strongly for us. We’ve introduced many new lines for the coming festive season, including launching the world’s first collection of Christmas decorations designed around The Gruffalo. Moving forward, we’re now working flat out on our Spring/Summer ’26 range which will be launched in June/July this year.”
All Greats winners, including the recipient of the prestigious Outstanding Achievement award, will be revealed at The Gift Awards on Thursday 15 May at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London. This incredible event will, once again, bring together The Giftware Association’s Gift of the Year Awards and The Greats gift retailer awards, organised and owned by Max Publishing, publishers of Progressive Gifts & Home/GiftsandHome.net.
At the glittering event, both gift product excellence and retail prowess will be recognised and rewarded in a true celebration of both sides of the UK gift industry.
