Giftware Association reveals 2019 Gift of the Year finalists

The Giftware Association (GA) has announced the finalists of the 2019 Gift of the Year competition.

The GA said: ‘From over 1,100 products and 20 categories, the judges had to make some tough decisions to come up with their final choices. They were impressed with the quality and variation [of entries], stating that this is probably the best year yet in terms of product ranges and with some categories being hard to judge and choose as there was such a high standard of product.’

The winners will be announced on the first evening of Spring Fair in February (Sunday February 3), at a ceremony on the main stage in Hall 20. Everyone is invited to see who the winners are. Entry to the event is free and the GA said it ‘would like to invite as many of the industry to come together to raise a toast to the hard work of the winners, to network and celebrate all that is great about the home and giftware world’.
