For retailers involved in the giftware sector of the market a dynamic and fresh range of quality, in demand items is the key to success. Product ranges should include items at various price points, allow healthy margins and permit fast turnover. All these qualities are especially true in the souvenir sector, where relevance, quality and choices are key.
Elgate has been both importing and exporting souvenir goods and giftware for many years, supplying retailers at home and abroad with a varied range of goods specifically suited for the souvenir gifts market.
Our expanding souvenir gifts range covers countries, regions and several cities in the UK and Ireland and we include a number of different product types that are known to be popular with different customers and age groups. These products encompass low cost items for those seeking an affordable purchase to take back home for friends and family, items that are of higher quality and provide an enduring memory of a special visit or occasion. There are also smaller items that many people like as they are easier to transport home. This is especially for those visiting from abroad.
We also look to include items that can be more fully identified with the places they are representing. This means more than just a name on a stock item. This can be achieved with traditional characters like leprechauns for Ireland, pipers or terrier dogs for Scotland, dragons for Wales and Guardsmen, Beefeaters and building landmarks for London. Although items that have a specific attachment with a location or region are harder to source and production choices are more limited, they are often the bestsellers, providing a more unique associated with a place and therefore being regarded as a better souvenir. Elgate’s range of souvenir figures runs into hundreds of designs providing retailers with a huge selection.
Our souvenir gift ranges include more general items that have proved successful in the past such as snowstorms, money boxes, mugs and other ceramics, trivets, bags, keyrings, magnets, pencils, pens, writing sets, erasers, pencil cases and notepads. Souvenir soft toys are also full represented in our portfolio, with bears being particularly good sellers. Our souvenir bears come in many different sizes and formats such as keyring bears, Tshirt bears, puppet bears and bear sets.
Of course we stock all of the standard souvenir giftware items like tea towels, egg cups, mugs, badges, flags and stickers.
Our souvenir range covers major cities like London, for which we stock a huge range, and places such as Brighton, Blackpool, Liverpool and Stratford-Upon-Avon. We also have regional souvenirs for places such as Devon and Cornwall where our range includes cream Tea and Cornish Pasty gift ideas.
Elgate also have a varied selection of souvenir alarm clocks, souvenir figures, souvenir keyrings, souvenir money boxes, souvenir mouse mats, souvenir thimbles and souvenir stationary.
We also include items from our £1 pound range and pocket money toy ranges such as packs of mini playing cards, Frisbee wrist games, mini basketball games and flag puzzles. Other low cost souvenirs include such items as car stickers and mini flags.
All of our souvenir gifts can be purchased under our favourable minimum order terms.
