"The Gift of the Year awards, run by the Giftware Association, is the largest, longest running, most highly respected awards for the home and giftware industry.” We’re thrilled that two of our products have been awarded Finalist.

Making it to this stage of the competition in two categories demonstrates the range of excellent products we offer not just within the festive season (backed by 30 years of trading Christmas) but also in design-led gifts and homewares.

Now’s the perfect time to pre-order (or order more!) of the Finalist products to benefit from not only some great, industry expert-selected products, but products that will also be receiving a lot of attention online.

Sally said:- "Visiting the Heaven Sends showroom is the highlight of our buying year. Heaven Sends has such lovely products and treat us so well. The Spring/Summer 2026 range is gorgeous! There was just so much to choose from!"

Our Showroom offers a fantastic central location, in Sutton Coldfield, only 20 minutes drive from the NEC. It’s the perfect opportunity to tie-in a visit, alongside some rest & refreshment, during a NEC buying trip.

It’s the best way to see our ENTIRE collection of over 8,000 lines, that spans across Spring/Summer, Garden, Everyday, Easter, Autumn, Halloween, and of course, Christmas! You’ll see it all, alongside inspiring displays and on-hand expert advice.

Accompanied by their Angel Rep Andrew, they toured our extensive Autumn and Christmas collections, getting expert advice and inspiration from the displays to help plan the season ahead.

Key pieces from their buying trip included large metal Halloween decorations and the large wicker Christmas reindeer- both selections are already receiving a lot of buzz from MS Home’s customers on their social media, who can’t wait for the stock to arrive!

The furriest member of the team, Bailey, was an angel!- and had a great time exploring all the ranges, even stopping for a quick photoshoot.

“I had a great time at the Showroom, our Angel Rep Andrew was fantastic and gave me lots of fuss. I’d give it 5 woofs out of 5!” – Bailey the dog.

Now is the perfect time to firm up your Autumn & Christmas selections. Ensure you secure your favourite lines and plenty of our bestsellers to ensure an extraordinary (and profitable!) festive retail season. With some early planning, you can ensure you lock in this year’s key trends and start gathering inspiration for future product displays and merchandising.

Thank you again to Michael, Bailey and the team at MS Home and Gift for visiting the Showrooms. We hope to see you again soon.

The Gift of the Year awards celebrate creativity, sustainability and highlight the very best in the home and gift industry. It was Heaven Sends’ first year entering the competition and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed the process, from having our vases featured on the GoTY stand at NEC Spring Fair, to enjoying the black-tie awards ceremony- and of course, eagerly awaiting the results! Safe to say, we’ll be back for next year’s award with more of our fabulous products.

Our trio of ceramic botanical book vases.

[Green vase: FDT090, Purple vase: FDT092 & Blue vase: FDT091]

Andy Jones, Director at Heaven Sends, said:

“What an amazing result to reach both Finalist and ‘Highly Commended’ with our first ever entry. We’ll be back, with more exciting products- our eyes firmly on that winner’s trophy!”

The team all had a wonderful time at the GoTY awards ceremony, it was the perfect chance to wear their glad rags and dance the night away.

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.”
