My Visit to Spring Fair 2024

I am excited to share that I recently embarked on a visit to Spring Fair, a spectacular marketplace exhibition hosted in Birmingham. Following my visit, I am eager to share with you some of the wonderful products that we will soon be stocking at Love Kate's card and gift shop! This includes a whole variety of unique, quality products, hand-picked to ensure that we supply only the very best cards and gifts selection!

Among the local gems that caught my attention over the duration of the weekend was CGB Giftware, a charming, family-run business based here in Cornwall, established in 1967. Their products are set to add an extra touch of warmth to the Love Kate's collection, embracing a local flavour that we know you'll adore.

But that's not all – I also had the pleasure of discovering Cotton & Grey, an exciting new gift company that perfectly aligns with our ethos here at Love Kate’s. Focusing on ‘The Gift of Time,’ these calming gifts encourage relaxation and gratitude. I particularly loved the ‘Twenty Minute Candles’ that encourage people to slow down, live in the moment and embrace the gentle honey aroma from within them. Keep an eye out for their products in our upcoming selections!

And let's not forget the incredible card designer, Sarah Kelleher, whose creations certainly caught my attention. Sarah's delightful series of greeting cards not only boast playfulness and vibrancy but also incorporate rustic colours and textures. We are looking forward to Sarah’s handmade charm gracing our online shelves, giving you even more reasons to spread love through Love Kate's cards!

I also had the pleasure of meeting with our fantastic new party supplier, Hootyballoo, and we couldn't be more excited about what's in store! Hootyballoo brings a breath of fresh air to the party scene, offering gorgeous packaging and a stunning range of party attire, all crafted with love and care – and here's the best part – their products are mostly made out of eco-friendly paper, not plastic! We believe in celebrating responsibly, and Hootyballoo aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability.

From Temporary Tattoos to the perfect Rainbow Cloud Backdrop, we are truly proud and excited to offer this rainbow range.
