IT’S STRAIGHT back to business with the January issue as the first trade shows of the new year are about to get underway. Card exhibitors are returning to Harrogate Christmas & Gift over January 14-17 and our preview is on page 44, preceding the Christmas Cards & Wrap feature. And the Top Drawer S/S18 Preview starts on page 20 – Belly Button have a lot to shout about at the three-day event starting on January 14. There’s also Scotland’s Trade Fair Spring (p64) and to make sure you don’t miss a show that’s relevant to the greetings industry, we also have our Exhibitions’ Diary (p68). With Spotlight (p14) revealing some great new product, there’s plenty to read about, along with our knowledgeable columnists, regular features, and the interesting Cover Story (p32) from Hallmark about how they invented giftwrap a century ago along with their latest releases.
