The Gift of the Year Finalist have been announced by The Giftware Assocation. The finalists have made it through two tough stages of judging, with a diverse range of judges from large and small retailers and industry trade press, including Home & Giftware magazine, sponsor of the Ethical and International categories.
There are 23 categories in this year’s competition and, as usual, it was a close fought battle with some very close results. The next stage will be a super-secret recorded event which will then get shown at Spring Fair @ Home thanks to our Headline Sponsors Hyve. These can be viewed from February 8 onwards on the Spring Fair Platform as well as through The GA’s own channels.
This year there is also a Peoples Choice Awards, for which the public cab vote on the finalist products and companies to produce one overall winner who receives the most votes.
