There’s just a couple of weeks to go for gift retailers to send in their entries for The Greats Awards 2024! 

The competition, now in its 22nd year, recognises and rewards the UK’s outstanding gift shops and gift departments, fanfaring the amazing retailers who have risen to the challenges over the past year.

“As always, we’re looking for those outstanding gift retailers who are a cut above the rest and have continued to up the ante by being resilient and resourceful in a challenging trading period,” said Sue Marks, editor of Progressive Gifts & Home and GiftsandHome.net, part of Max Publishing, which owns and organises The Greats, and sister publications to Progressive Greetings and PG Buzz.

“We’d love to hear what gift retailers have done over the past 12 months to really up the ante and encourage new business, to include retail initiatives, outstanding displays, charity and local community involvement, product diversification and the opening of a new outlet.”

All entries should be sent by email to Sue Marks at suem@max-publishing.co.uk stating which of the relevant categories it’s for.
