Judges

The Gift of the Year Judging panel is selected to ensure that a broad cross section of the industry is covered, from the quirky one-off local gift shop through elegant independent galleries to the UK's most respected department stores and more. 

A prime objective of Gift of the Year is to bring great gift and home product into the media spotlight and so we are delighted to be welcoming many star buyers and editiors to the judging panel.

Judges work hard to select the winners and also thoroughly enjoy the experience and we know that entrants benefit from submitting their products to the competition even if they are not finalists.
