Among the Gift of the Year finalists this year is gift-led Nordic brand Jokipiin Pellava – introduced in the UK by importer and exporter AllGoodThings – which is shortlisted in the Gift of the Year’s new International category.
“The Gift of the Year competition is a good fit for our gift products, where our goal is to stand out with unique and novel ideas as well as timeless design,” commented Jokipiin Pellava’s development manager Jussi Laurilla. “We hope this recognition helps shape our brand, especially in the UK market, and that we can reach lots of new customers looking for sustainable kitchen textiles,” Jussi told AllGoodThings’ managing director Michael Boulter.
“Importing and exporting quality brands to and from Scandinavia, Europe and the UK has been key to our business activities since 1998,” explains Michael. “Quality, trust and reliability remain our core values and are at the heart of our business. We are proud to work with many authentic Nordic brands including Lennol, Danish Quality Candles and Pippo custom made dartboards, helping companies to bring their fantastic product ranges to a wider audience. Brands made easy.”
Continued Michael: “Jokipiin Pellava’s unique, quality linen products can be supplied in ready to sell gift boxes and shipped direct from the factory in Finland to a retailer’s location, already customs cleared and ready for sale, delivery five to seven days from the date of order.” Visit www.allgoodthings.fi
