Follow the trails at Home & Gift Buyers’ Festival

This year four categories – ‘New’, ‘Christmas’, ‘Eco’ and ‘Best of British’ – have been created to help retailers navigate the aisles and halls and uncover products relevant to them. Stickers and swing tags will highlight all the stands that have met the criteria for the trails.
