Come and visit our stand at Springfair on 5C82 - D83 where we have a shared space with Buy From Shropshire celebrating new to trade show exhibitors from the Shropshire region.

The Giftware Association have teamed up with Buy-From Shropshire to showcase the amazing products that Shropshire has to offer. We have brought a small section of the dynamic and entrepreneurial rural businesses in Shropshire to the International Spring Fair - from original art work and educational children’s books, to beautiful artisan chocolate and small batch exclusive flavoured vodka.  Come and say hello to these first time exhibitors, all of whom are ready to bring their unique products to a global audience.

The GA and Buy-From teams share the same ethos; helping businesses thrive, grow and succeed in the world of home and gift. The GA Team will be on hand in a lounge area with our various service provider discussing HRLaw and Design and Branding.

LISH D'LISH

I am a mum of two young girls who love to wear children’s perfumes, however they couldn’t due to skin allergies. My children enjoyed dressing up and wearing jewellery and so I decided to create a bangle that not only looked good and was fun to wear but was also scented allowing my children to wear perfume without having a reaction to it. Although my previous career had been in the hospitality industry I have always wanted to run my own company.  So, with the help of a colleague, who had knowledge of the retail industry, the Lish d’lish Scented Jelly Bangle range was born.
