Fragranced candles have played a big part in meeting that demand, and this year those fragrances which offer reassurance with a little twist of the unexpected or new, are set to be firm favourites. Meeting that brief is the Wild Rose & Rhubarb Candles from Pintail Candles. Combining the familiar floral rose fragrance with a punchy note of a fruity rhubarb. This handpoured candle releases a beautiful fragrance of top notes of crisp rhubarb and green bergamot invigorated by a heart woven from floral tones of rose, jasmine and cyclamen with relaxing base notes of woods and white musk. Available in several sizes, this candle is presented in warm dusky pink styling and matching wax colour. Colour trends, of course, are always changing and it looks like 2022 will see a shift away from the cool grey interiors, which were a feature of last year. Battling to be the colour of this year are emerald greens and vibrant blues. Whichever direction it takes, Pintail Candles has got the situation covered. Known for its wonderful colour palette of rich and luxurious waxes it offers a selection of blues and greens and shades in between to meet the trendiest of colour trends. From a bright Sea Salt blue to a vibrant green Sparkling Lime & Ginger and the teal of its Jasmine & Black Olive fragrance. JOE DAVIES T: +44 (0)161 975 6300 E: sales@joedavies.co.uk www.joedavies.co.uk Understanding what’s driving consumers and householders to celebrate and how they engage with gift buying is essential for product design and the product offering for your customers. This and reflecting retail trends makes sure you are capturing a wider audience. 2022 does in some ways mirror 2021 – plants are still on trend, so planters are essential to have in a home and as gift offering, fun and quirky planters such as fun characters and houses are key. In terms of colour grey is slowly going out and being replaced with stronger colours such as teals and rich blues, so adding these colours into your key best sellers is a must. The consumer is looking for anything that is different that stands out in their home décor or something unusual to give as a gift. Whether that is gonks, beautiful ceramics, face planters, on-trend jewellery pieces or bees it needs to make a real statement. Slowing down, enjoying life and stopping the stress is going to be huge in 2022, this area has increased in growth since the pandemic struck. Calming gifts such as oil burners, oils and candles are going to be even more popular as everyone has learnt to slow down and take more care of themselves and those important people in their life. Bold prints are in vogue so anywhere you can use a bold print such as shopper bags, purses, stationery and textiles in strong colours will be winners. Mismatching is a trend due to consumers wanting to have a level of individuality in their home – not everything has to match so one off pieces are good that can be mixed. Next season will still see gifting that evokes emotion and kindness – the simple act of giving a gift with a sentiment is still important to customers in the new world we are living in. Items such as family tree, hearts and robins, are icons that capture happy family memories and captions for mum, nan, dad, family and friends are big sellers. 52
