’tis the season Head to Harrogate in January to view some of the hottest festive and gift lines for next year In brief show Harrogate Christmas & Gift organiser HITF where Harrogate International Centre when 13 th -16 th January, 2013 opening times 9am-6pm (9am-4pm on the last day) website www.harrogatefair.com Recognised as the leading event for the Christmas, festive and allied markets, Harrogate Christmas & Gift provides retailers with everything for the perfect Christmas and more. Amongst the baubles, tinsel and Christmas trees (which of course are still in abundance), you will also discover an array of home and gift lines to fill shelves the whole year round, from silk flowers and pot pourri, to pictures and chinaware to garden furniture, barbeques and ornaments. There are toys, novelty items and products to suit almost every calendar occasion, from Mother’s Day and Easter right through to Halloween. With this steady increase in diversity of products, buyers from many new retail sectors are visiting the show, which has contributed to a staggering increase in visitor numbers with a rise of 35 per cent since the 2010 event. Simon Anslow, Show Organiser, explains: “Harrogate Christmas & Gift is attracting a very wide audience, and whilst historically buyers were looking purely for Christmas offerings, the fact that many retailers are evolving means that they are stocking much further reaching product lines. For example, garden centres are now carrying toys, baby products, food items, interior furniture, ornaments and gifts to attract add-on sales to their main stream ranges. “We have also seen a steady increase in buyers attending from tourist attractions such as theme parks, museums, country estates and even ecclesiastical sectors and farm shops looking for impulse purchases to encourage new revenue streams. The show is also evolving to accommodate this trend.” One new exhibitor at the show last year was Josoblu, a company specialising in all kinds of bags from baby change bags, to shoppers to everyday handbags. Joelle Seksum, Managing Director, of Josoblu, commented: “We weren’t really sure if Harrogate Christmas & Gift would be relevant to our range but were pleasantly surprised by the quantity of visitors, and they were exactly the right type of buyers for our products too.” With more than 100 exhibitors covering seven halls, it’s a great opportunity for independent retailers, mail order buyers, garden centres, promotion agencies, department stores, wholesale and volume buyers to source some of the hottest selling lines for 2013. giftfocus 51 christmas tendence & gift
