Hello and welcome to the January 2019 issue of Gifts Today.
This month is our annual candle feature. This category continues to grow in popularity among women and men of all ages – proof positive that the humble candle is so much more than just wax in a jar.
We talk to our fabulous cover stars Village Candle about their re-launch in the UK and their commitment to building the brand through direct partnerships with valued buyers and stockists.
We catch up with David Fenton, head of retail at the Imperial War Museum, to talk spitfires, poppies and Museum Shop Sunday. With five museums to buy for, plus an online shop, it’s fascinating to discover how important the commercial aspect can be to the heritage sector.
We also have news from a host of upcoming editions, including Top Drawer, Christmas & Gift, Giving & Living and Toy Fair. All this and news, views and opinion. Lots to enjoy!
