Managing director Charlotte Gillan explains, “When the country first went into lockdown, we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves selling more hiking staffs and trekking poles as people appreciated them on their permitted exercise. With more rambles in the countryside, we are seeing increased demand not only for hiking staffs, but also all products linked to the outdoors: hiking, gardening and so on. Our new gardening pattern folding cane, which features carrots, secateurs, welly boots and other gardening motifs makes a good accessory or gift for a man, being both unusual and practical.” T :+44 (0)1460 75686 www.classiccanes.co.uk Man power Gifts and accessories for the male consumer ` MISS MILLY Sarah Watmore from Miss Milly says, “Hopefully by the time the autumn rolls around, we’ll be back to partying with friends, family and colleagues. In which case, shirts should be back on the agenda and cufflinks from Miss Milly would make a great gift choice for birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions, adding a burst of colour and style. “Available in eight different colours, the cufflinks are made in resin backed with different materials, including velvet fabric, tin foil, aluminium foil and a marble-effect paper. The different backings create a variety of appearances with, for example, tin foil giving a scratched metallic and velvet fabric producing a luxurious depth. Four of the colours come in an oval-shaped cufflink and the other four in a circular design. And all of the cufflinks are presented in a silver gift box. “The cufflinks will also co-ordinate with much of our resin jewellery, providing the option of matching accessories for couples attending events. “We have a low £100 minimum and no minimum order quantities. We may have a sales agent in your area – full location and contact details are on our website in the Wholesale section – or register online for trade pricing and ordering.” T: +44 (0)1905 622 509 E: hello@missmilly.co.uk www.missmilly.co.uk VIVOBAREFOOT Vivobarefoot has released the Ultra Bloom; the first footwear to be made using Algae in 2017.
