The winners of Gift of the Year 2025, organised by The Giftware Association, were unveiled on Tuesday 13th May at The Gift Awards, held at Royal Lancaster, London alongside the partner awards programme The Greats.
Gift of the Year honours outstanding products that capture the spirit of giving across the retail landscape. This year saw a record-breaking number of entries and some of the most inventive, heart-warming, and sustainable gifts the industry has ever seen.
Chris Workman, PR & Marketing Manager at the Giftware Association, said: “The quality of entries this year was truly outstanding. Gift of the Year continues to shine a spotlight on the most exciting talent in the home and gift industry, and our 2025 winners are a testament to the creativity and resilience of this vibrant sector. It’s great to see new brands enter into the spotlight as well as old favourites continue to bring something new to the table.”
With the spotlight now on them, winners will benefit from increased industry exposure, trade opportunities, and the prestigious honour of wearing the Gift of the Year 2025 badge — as well as a special trophy that can be showcased around the world.
