With a closing date of 30 November, there’s just over four weeks to send entries in for the Gift of the Year competition 2024. “We are seeing some amazing products being entered across all 20 categories, with this year shaping up to be full of brilliant brands,” states The Giftware Association’s PR and marketing manager Chris Workman.
“The new category of Health & Wellbeing has attracted some great new products, as has the returning Pet category. We are also excited to see so many exciting new brands – the future of the home and giftware world alongside awards favourites.”
On the judging side, there are currently over 70 judges, ranging from high street retailers and independents to garden centre groups. “Just by entering, companies are guaranteed to be seen by some very special judges,” continues Chris. “With the awards closing for entries on 30 November suppliers need to get their entries in as fast as possible so that we can start to promote them earlier – although one of our worst kept secret is that we usually extend the closing date for a week, so watch this space!”
At every stage of the competition, entrants will receive promotional marketing material to boost their brand, as well as ways for companies to fanfare their achievements. All entrants will also be able to feature a Gift of the Year ‘Nominated’ logo.
The winners will be announced at The Gift Awards 2024, which take place at London’s Royal Lancaster Hotel on 16 May, 2023, alongside the winners of The Greats gift retailer awards.
