Just some of the comments about last year?s show:

Eleanor Gregory, assistant buyer, Home Accessories, Stationery & Christmas, Selfridges:??Selfridges has visited Home & Gift for over 4 years. We visit to hunt for exciting new Christmas Gifts, Stationery, greetings cards and wrapping, along with catching up with our current suppliers and talking through their new ranges. The new trend driven areas that showcase new brands are my favourite parts of the show.?

Jill Nicholson, chief buyer, Gordale Garden Centre:??We find Harrogate especially good, there?s a wide range of good companies ? small suppliers who offer something different. We always aim, or hope, to pick up a new line each year. We may contact the company later rather than waste time buying at the show. It?s well organised and you get fresh air. It?s also a relaxed setting.?

Alex Vere, commerical director, Little Weaver Arts:??The show?s been a huge success for us – we?ve had interest from 250 new stockists with 20 confirmed already. The stand was four-deep at some points and our unique products have been really well received!”

Marcus Price, co-director, SeaGems Cornwall: ?Home & Gift is a fixture in our calendar every year as it?s where we launch our Autumn ranges. The customers like it, order value has been good and we?ve acquired quite a few new customers from across Scotland and the North of England.?
