The biggest edition in a decade: Home & Gift is set to be an unmissable event, featuring over 500 brands across 4 halls of the HCC and 3 Design Points. After significant expansion in 2024, the show is on course to be larger again this year, with DP1 extending by a further 10%. 30% of exhibitors are brand new to the event in 2025, with even more returning after an absence, allowing attendees to explore over 20,000 products spanning the home, gift, and lifestyle spectrum, and providing the perfect one-stop shop for retailers looking for their next best-seller
Gift of the Year’s ‘People’s Choice Award’: Attendees can look forward to the announcement of the coveted Gift of the Year’s ‘People’s Choice Award’ on Sunday, in partnership with The Giftware Association. Judged by over 100 industry professionals, this award has seen a diverse range of entries, from start-ups to multinational brands, all vying for the prestigious title. Throughout the four days of the show, attendees can also browse an accompanying physical showcase of Gift of the Year winners in Hall B. Commenting on the impact of the awards, a past participant noted, "The ability to show off your product to some of the best gift retailers in the UK is a fantastic opportunity to get awareness and sales for your own business".
Trends Feature: One of the standouts of this year's festival is the exclusive Trends Feature, expertly curated by Home & Gifts’ official Trends Partner, The Better Trends Co.. This installation will showcase three specially curated and immersive trends as well as an insightful talk on how to source with trends in mind. Co-founders Nathalie Alexander and Louise Healy have also designed this year's 'Summer Soiree' show theme. Louise explains: "For a huge brand anniversary such as 65 years of Home & Gift, we knew it had to encapsulate everything the show represents; the Summer Soirée theme was the perfect embodiment of outside dining, stylish stripes, and elevated tablescapes, blended with Home & Gift’s British heritage and retro summer party atmosphere!"
