The Gift of the Year Award winners have been announced, with the best of the industry celebrated for creativity, sustainability and innovation
This year saw a record-breaking number of entries and some of the most inventive, heartwarming, and sustainable gifts the industry has ever seen.
Exciting talent
These winners stood out for their exceptional design, innovation, and ability to wow the judges — who were made up of buyers and retailers — and ultimately will see their products in the hands of consumers, whether on the high street, online, or in boutique stores across the country.
Chris Workman, PR & Marketing Manager at the Giftware Association, said: "The quality of entries this year was truly outstanding. Gift of the Year continues to shine a spotlight on the most exciting talent in the home and gift industry, and our 2025 winners are a testament to the creativity and resilience of this vibrant sector. It's great to see new brands enter into the spotlight as well as old favourites continue to bring something new to the table."
With the spotlight now on them, winners will benefit from increased industry exposure, trade opportunities, and the prestigious honour of wearing the Gift of the Year 2025 badge — as well as a special trophy that can be showcased around the world. www.giftoftheyear.co.uk
