Coastal gift show Giving & Living will be back at Westpoint, Exeter, from 14-16 January 2024, with highlights including the Coastal Path, Designed & Made in Britain, and Naturally, reflecting the significant growth areas for retail, along with the locally made and sustainable ethos that drives the independent trade.
“Thanks to another strong tourist season we’re looking forward to a brilliant show,” says Hale Events’ managing director Mike Anderson. “Our show stands out for its unique focus on coastal gifts and souvenirs, including speciality foods and locally made gifts and accessories. Whether it’s beach balls, flip flops or sticks of rock, seashell jewellery, puffin prints or artisan ice-cream, we’ve got it all! We’ve also been delighted to see our Designed & Made in Britain sector grow as the consumer appetite for locally made products has got stronger.”
Product categories targeting the UK holiday market offer a diverse showcase across gifts, fashion accessories homewares and greeting cards, as well as souvenirs, toys and bath and body, with selected exhibitors able to provide bespoke and own-brand merchandise.
This year, The Giftware Association will be displaying a selected range of shortlisted and award-winning Gift of the Year products, with the GA team on hand to take orders and connect retailers to the companies behind the award-winning products.
