Feather and Twigs at the Harrogate Home & Gift Fair: A Whirlwind of Inspiration

We’ve just returned from the Harrogate Home & Gift Fair—and we’re buzzing with ideas, gratitude, and excitement for the months ahead! Nestled in the heart of Yorkshire, this vibrant event is where creativity meets craftsmanship, bringing together the UK’s finest designers, makers, and retailers under one beautifully curated roof (well several actually).

👋 Rekindling Connections with Our Trusted Suppliers

One of the highlights was spending time with some of the remarkable suppliers who bring magic to our shop:

  • Lola Designs – Stationery has never felt so personal. Their bold, beautiful prints and thoughtful details reminded us why we adore celebrating life’s little moments... cards, wrapping paper, soaps and much more
  • Blue Bear Co – These beautiful bears will last a lifetime, with a pouch for a scent and heart which can record a personal message are a real emotional pull in our Croston shop.
  • Sophos – Sophisticated style with playful twists. Their blend of classic elegance and contemporary designed weekend bags for leisure or waterproof bags and toiletry bags are just perfect for the outdoor activities. 
  • Lucy Kemp Jewellery – Meeting Lucy and seeing her stunning handcrafted pieces up close was a treat. Delicate silver earrings, bracelets and necklaces all wearable art at its finest.
  • My Gifts Trade – Their evolving collections always catch our eye with thoughtful gifting in mind, brands like Pip Studio, Casa Fina and Que Rico
  • St. Eval – Their soothing scents and artisan candles always stir the soul. We left their stand feeling recharged and inspired by their timeless, sustainable ethos and beautiful new scents arriving in the shop shortly.

✨ Inspiration Around Every Corner

Beyond reconnecting with familiar faces, we wandered through aisles rich with imagination—textiles infused with storytelling, ceramics whispering tales of heritage, and homeware that made us pause, smile, and dream. We're not just leaving with catalogues and samples, but with fresh vision for Feather & Twigs—curated ideas that blend beauty, sustainability, and heartfelt artisan design.

💬 What’s Next?

You’ll begin to see reflections of our Harrogate trip trickling into the shop—new finds, refreshed displays, and perhaps a few surprises that we think you’ll love. Whether it’s a bold new statement piece or a comforting candle, everything we choose is steeped in meaning and wrapped in thoughtfulness.

As ever, thank you for being part of our journey. We’re proud to bring you items that not only beautify your space but connect you to the stories, hands, and hearts behind them.

Making Local our First port of Call

There is something special about living in a community where you can walk down the street and find independent shops, cafés and businesses run by people you know.

They bring character to our villages and towns. They create jobs, support local events, champion other small businesses and give our high streets an identity that simply cannot be replicated online or by large national chains.

But if we want ...

There are times when running an independent business feels busy, and then there are times when everything seems to happen at once.

At Feather & Twigs, we are currently very much in the latter.

On any normal day, there is already plenty happening behind the scenes. We have our existing shop to run, customers to look after, deliveries arriving, stock to unpack and displays to refresh. Alongside that ...

At Feather & Twigs, we’ve always believed that a good gift should feel as lovely to give as it does to receive.

Over recent years, we’ve noticed a change in the way people choose gifts. It’s becoming less about simply finding something and more about finding the right thing.

We want to know who made it. Where it came from. What it’s made from. Whether it will be used and enjoyed. And increasingly, whether buying it supports the s...
