Unwrapping the INDX Gift Edit – the Midlands destination show for 2026.
Get ready to discover a fresh wave of gift inspiration with the exciting launch of the INDX Gift Edit, a dynamic new trade show set to invigorate the UK giftware market in 2026.
Hale Events has confirmed that the 2026 edition of the Devon-based Giving & Living Trade Show was its last. "This show has marked a significant chapter in the life of the gifting industry, Hale Events, and for me personally," said Mike Anderson, Managing Director.
This decision comes after careful consideration. While the gift and home market continues to grow, the way products reach consumers has changed dramatically over the past decade and accelerated since the pandemic. Many businesses now sell direct to consumers or combine consumer and trade sales, and online B2B platforms and marketplaces such as Amazon, Etsy, Faire, and Temu have become significant routes to market.

Quality, variety and innovation were heard as the buzzwords around the hall at Scotland's Trade Fair Spring.
The Show highlighted what it does best – showcasing original, quality products with strong commercial appeal that perform well in retail outlets across the country.
In an era where online dominates much of our retail landscape, it's often debated if trade shows still have a relevance in 2026. But Scotland's Trade Fair showed how crucial they are.
With more than 400 suppliers exhibiting and several thousand retailers visiting, exhibitors and buyers alike stressed the value of face-to-face interaction, as well as the ability to see, touch and experience the products first hand – something no digital platform can fully replicate.
