From the latest on manufacturing in China to retailer feedback on life after lockdown, as well as what’s trending in face masks, gift-led hand sanitiser and thank you gifts, there’s tons to read!
If the pandemic has had a silver lining, it has been to sharply bring into focus the importance of wellness, being kind to others, our community and saying thank you and really meaning it. We take a look at some of the legions of products out there, especially those that are rainbow themed (click through to pages 35-37), along with what’s trending in face masks and face coverings, as well as gift-led sanitisers (click through to pages 27-31).
Plus, with people working from home during the pandemic, and many still continuing to do so, home fragrancing products remain in great demand, with the desire to fragrance not just the home, but the workspace, increasing. (Click through to pages 45-47) to discover what’s new for Autumn/Winter.
