Taking place Sunday 14th – Wednesday 17th January 2018, Giving & Living is the largest Gift and Home trade show in the South West and covers more Coast than anyone else.
As the first show of the season, Giving & Living provides visitors with the opportunity to see the very latest new and exclusive 2018 gift & homeware product ranges before anyone else. It’s perfectly timed for retailers to restock successful lines and to get ahead of the competition before Easter, Mothers’ Day, and the Summer season.
In addition to the wide range of general gifts and homeware for all occasions on display, the show covers more Coast than anyone else. It is ideal for buyers from retail outlets and attractions on or near the Coast, and for those that are keen to order coastal merchandise to target the holidaymaker. Giving & Living’s Coastal Path will lead you around the show to find the exhibitors that are perfect for your business. It’s the ideal way to discover a treasure trove of unusual products, niche suppliers and fresh ideas that you might otherwise sail straight past. At every step along the way you’ll be able to see, touch, taste, smell, talk and listen – the surest way to find those unique items that your customers will absolutely love.
Other special show features include a Newcomer’s area dedicated to new companies that have never done a trade show before. It’s a great opportunity to spot emerging design talent before anyone else, and discover beautiful new products that will delight your customers. The Designed & Made in Britain area is dedicated to unusual products of high quality and authenticity with a distinct local flavour. Many of these exhibitors only exhibit at Giving & Living, giving retailers exclusive access to locally produced items that discerning customers will love.
The show also attracts a range of exhibitors with a strong ethical and/or environmental background. These “Naturally” companies will be clearly identified at the show, offering retailers the chance to track down products that are in keeping with their brand values.
Giving & Living presents an unrivalled selection of products for retail buyers, from bags to books, cards to clothing, maps to mugs, and soaps to sculpture, at a wide range of price points. Meet existing suppliers, discover new ones, place orders for the coming year, and build partnerships for the future. From gifts that can be personalised for your venue, to those that reflect the UK’s unique heritage, Giving & Living has it all.
The 2018 show, which takes place at the Westpoint Exhibition Centre, Exeter, and runs from Sunday 14th January to Wednesday 17th January will bring together up to 300 exhibitors and 4000+ retail buyers. With two halls to explore, and four days in which to do so, Giving & Living makes buying an enjoyable experience.
