head west Head to the south west for early buying opportunities this January Giving & Living, already the largest gift and home trade show in the south west, promises to be better than ever next year. It’s the first opportunity of the season to see an unrivalled selection of the latest new and exclusive gift products, and it’s perfectly timed to give retailers a chance to stock up for Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day and Easter. The show will have, as ever, a diverse range of products on offer, from more than 400 exhibitors, to help keep visitors ahead of the competition. As well as a strong coastal and tourism theme, the show has several distinct areas to help retailers find the most suitable products to order. The Regional Food and Drink area, so well received by buyers last year, will be showcasing even more original speciality treats and delicacies from the south west. There will be more newcomers, companies from the south west that have never exhibited at a trade show before, bringing with them products that are brand new to the market. Building on 2012 and the popularity of the Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics, the Designed and Made in Britain area will be featuring high quality products that demonstrate local or British craftsmanship, many from companies that won’t be exhibiting anywhere else.
