The Greats Gift Retailer Awards 2025 took place on Thursday, 15 May 2025, at the iconic Royal Lancaster Hotel in London. As part of The Gift Awards, this prestigious event celebrates excellence in the UK’s gift retail industry, recognising both outstanding retailers and innovative products. It’s a highlight in the retail calendar, bringing together the biggest names in the industry to honour those pushing the boundaries of creativity and customer experience.
As headline and drinks sponsors, Spring Fair and Autumn Fair were thrilled to support this spectacular event, which united over 400 industry leaders, suppliers, and retailers for a night of celebration, networking, and recognition. Hosted by the hilarious George Zacharopoulos, the evening was filled with laughter, inspiration, and unforgettable moments.

Spring Fair and Autumn Fair were proud to sponsor two standout award categories:
- Best Contemporary Gift Product (sponsored by Spring Fair) – Scalloped Watering Cans Collector Range from Burgon & Ball, a beautiful and practical addition to any modern garden.
- Best Garden & Outdoors Product (sponsored by Autumn Fair) – Thirsty Planter from Pikkii Design, a clever, stylish solution for plant lovers.
Adding to the night’s excitement, Summerhouse exhibitor Mike Wynch from Candlelight received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award – a testament to his decades-long impact on the industry. Mike also wowed the audience with a surprise performance as the after-dinner band, proving he’s a rockstar both in business and on stage!
