After two years without a live event, Giving & Living, the largest Gift and Home trade show in the Southwest, returns on the 16th of February 2022. Located just outside Exeter, Giving & Living offers buyers the opportunity to secure Gift & Home and Coast & Tourism items. The trade show strongly focusses on the tourism sector, with products targeting the holidaymaker market. Also, there’s a selection of general gift products and homewares for all occasions.
London Stationery Show partner, The Giftware Association, were invited to attend the event for support and to select the ‘Best Stand’ and ‘Best Newcomer’ exhibiting at the show. The Giftware Association CEO, Sarah Ward, judged at the show on opening day, and the new awards were given to Pineapple Island and Metal Motif respectfully.
Sarah Ward said “We are so glad to support the show and it’s great to be back in Exeter after such a long time off and meeting people and brands in person. The show awards were something we were keen to do to support the show and also its exhibitors, both old and new. The winners will receive prizes from the show to exhibit next year and also a custom trophy to celebrate their win and attract buyers to their stands.”
Giving & Living featured brand-new exhibitors, and a multitude of new products and was a success for the Southwest and the industry as a whole, reiterating the importance of buyers and suppliers meeting face to face.
