SPLOSH

at the Melbourne Gift Fair The story of Splosh goes back to 1999, when founders Michael and Kim Kendall started crafting handmade timber gifts and selling them at the local markets with the simple goal of creating fun products that enhance the homes and lives of décor lovers. As the sales of the products started to grow, so did the business, with Splosh evolving into the leading designer, importer and wholesaler of giftware and homewares in Australia and New Zealand. With Splosh a family business at its core, Kim and Michael handed over the reins in 2018 to their daughter and present Managing Director, Laura Colman, who has continued to expand Splosh’s wholesale customer network globally, worked to diversify the company’s product offering and range development, launched thriving wholesale and retail ecommerce channels and firmly establish a strong market presence, both in-store and digitally.

Splosh places fun and excitement at the core of everything we do and we believe this emanates through our team, the ranges we stock and the relationship we have with our customers.

There has been an overwhelming response this year to Frank Barker, our newest pet range, as well as our highlyanticipated Baby range that features sleek, silicone additions and for Winter, our SnuggUps® snuggly little slippers are a top hit with customers with their amazing designs for the whole family. Additionally, as the official exclusive distributor for WoodWick® Candles within Australia and New Zealand, we have seen this brand become a cult-favourite, remaining a top seller all year round in-store. ANY FAVOURITE SPLOSH PRODUCT OR COLLECTION, AND IS THERE A STORY BEHIND IT?
