Gift Coast Home - Trade Show

Designed and made in Britain

If your ethos is centred around the UK’s unique heritage you’ll want unusual products of quality and authenticity with a distinct local flavour.
We go to considerable lengths to attract companies that match this profile, and this area is a hotspot for buyers eager to source unusual products that combine high quality with a distinct local flavour and a great story. Many of these exhibitors only exhibit at Giving & Living, giving you exclusive access to locally produced items that you would almost certainly miss if you did not attend.

Look out for this sign as you walk around the show:

We have a great variety of exhibitors for you to discover in the ‘Designed and made in Britain’ area at the show.

Visitors in 2025 were able to discover the beautiful handcrafted fused glass from Berserks Glass Works; quintessentially British homewares from Peckish Goose; sea-inspired jewellery, made by the sea, from Sandbanks Jewellery; a wide range of bee related products from The Wiltshire Beekeeper, and candles, home fragrances, and more, all with a positive mental health message, from The Cahm Collective. That’s just a taste of the kind of exhibitors you’ll find here in 2026, and there will be many more!

Have you been thinking about booking a stand, but want to minimise your risk? Well we have a special Mini Pod Package to let you dip your toe in the water. Click here for more information.

We focus on suppliers based in the South West, so this is our favourite show. We meet up with existing suppliers and meet new ones.”

Giving & Living - the end of an era.

Following conversations with our longstanding clients at this year’s event, we can confirm that the 2026 edition of our Devon-based Giving & Living trade show was its last.

This decision comes after careful consideration. While the gift and home market continues to grow, the way products reach consumers has changed dramatically over the past decade and accelerated since the pandemic. We would like to thank all the buyers and exhibitors that have supported this regional trade show over the years.
