It’s all systems go for the Gift of the Year Awards 2025, with the competition officially launching this weekend at the Sunday Sundowners Drinks event (sponsored by Progressive Gifts & Home) at Harrogate Home & Gift on 21 July.
“We are super excited to be launching the 2025 Gift of the Year competition at the show,” says The Giftware Association’s marketing and PR manager Chris Workman. “We have 20 great categories, with the Made in UK category returning this year as we want to celebrate and champion gifts that are made and created in the UK.”
Continues Chris: “Some of the other categories have had a rethink too. For example, we have separated out Home and Garden into their own respective categories, as well and expanding our Fashion Accessories category to include textiles and clothes.
“We have also been working hard behind the scenes, getting new judges on board to include Moonpig, Lark London, The Voewood, Blue Diamond Group and The National Portrait Gallery, with many more to be added over the next few months.”
At every stage of the competition – which closes on 30 November – entrants will receive promotional marketing material to boost their brand, as well as ways for companies to fanfare their achievements. All entrants will also be able to feature a Gift of the Year ‘Nominated’ logo.
The Gift of the Year winners will be announced at The Gift Awards 2025, which take place at London’s Royal Lancaster Hotel on Thursday 15 May, 2025,alongside the winners of The Greats Awards 2025.
