We've been Shortlisted - Gift of The Year Awards 2026
We’re excited to share some positive news as we begin the New Year!
A selection of our products have been shortlisted for Gift of the Year Awards 2026, including our RHS Hanging Paint By Number Kits, Simply Make Needle Felting Kits, and our newest collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Mini Cross Stitch Kits.
Our products have been recognised across three categories: Heritage Gifts, Branded and Licensed, and Design and Craft. Each category highlights a range of entries, and we’re incredibly proud that West Design Products is included among them. This shortlisting reflects the creativity and dedication our teams have put into creating these products.
With 20 different categories and hundreds of talented entries, each year is different and constantly changing to stay in line with giftware trends and industry expectations. The Gift of the Year Awards aims to cover all the categories within the giftware and homeware world, from jewellery to games right through to sustainable products and cards, stationery, and wrap.
An expert panel of over 115 judges have carefully reviewed this year’s incredible entries, and our products have been selected to move forward to the live judging round at Spring Fair, taking place from 1st to 4th February 2026.
