Highlights from Home & Gift Buyers Festival 2023
Sunday Sundowners
The show was kicked off by joining us at the Sundowner drinks on Sunday at 5.30 pm outside DP1, and celebrating a successful day of buying. Attendees unwound and connected with the retail community as they enjoyed delightful cold beverages in the sunshine. This special occasion was also a collaboration with Progressive Gifts & Home, celebrating their 30th anniversary! In addition, the Giftware Association announced the winner of the highly anticipated Gift of the Year's People’s Choice award. The excitement was not to be missed as everyone joined us to find out who would claim this coveted prize!

Trends Feature
The Better Trends Company aimed to empower small retailers, designers, and businesses in an ethical and responsible way, focusing on people, the planet, and how to research and design for the better. They wanted to meet visitors and see how they could make their processes easier for their businesses and engaging for their customers.
VIP Access
Home & Gift was always a special time, but it was even better as a VIP. Attendees experienced the show in style last summer and relaxed in the exclusive Indigo Lounge in Hall M, sourcing the latest products from the best brands in the market. They relaxed and unwound while connecting with the retail community in a laid-back, friendly atmosphere.
Plus, they had access to an exclusive Trends Tour from show partner, The Better Trends Company, who guided them through the upcoming trends to incorporate into their next collection.
Exhibitor Party
Home & Gift was the key buying opportunity of the summer for retailers, but it was also a celebration of the beloved retail industry. Attendees built meaningful connections in a relaxed environment by joining exhibitors for drinks receptions and social events across the four days, creating valuable and lasting connections.
They kept their eyes peeled for the social schedule, as they wouldn't have wanted to miss out on any of the exciting events!
Food & Drink
Attendees got ready to tantalize their taste buds with a variety of delicious food options; from Greek and Italian to regional favorites, there was something to satisfy every craving. The show also had them covered to keep cool with a groovy ice cream van and extra hydration stations throughout the event.

First time at the show and I came to look at the Jewellery but the gift sectors have given me lots of product ideas especially the small personalized pieces. The show feels very British which is perfect for our customers.

"This has been our first ever trade show at LSW London and we’ve had a brilliant time. We’ve loved speaking to buyers and shop owners from around the country and it’s been wonderful meeting lots of our current stockists. We’ve had such a positive response to our product range - in particular our brand new Habit Notes journal that we’ve launch at the show today. I’d really recommend doing this next year to any small brands looking to get their name out there."
