Stand: Hall 5, Stand B10-C11
Following a brilliant show at Harrogate Christmas & Gift, the Straits Trading team is bringing its new Christmas, Halloween, Endless Summer and core collections to Spring Fair
Situated in Hall 5, the Straits stand is always a bustling destination at Spring Fair, largely thanks to its extensive Christmas collection. For 2026, the range is set to be bigger and better than ever before.
Top-selling products include the glitter water spinners that the company is renowned for. The bestselling spinner for 2025 sold more than 30,000 units – and that’s just one design. Straits is continuing some of its classic designs, while also introducing a host of exciting new models. These fresh designs come in a variety of shapes, some with animated parts, and feature more intricate internal scenes than ever before.
Another fast-growing department is animated pieces. Straits offers large moving Santas that play a variety of festive songs, alongside a range of singing plush animals whose lips move in perfect time to the music. Another festive favourite, The Magical Winter Village, includes everything from a Ferris Wheel and spinning teacups to a gently rotating nativity scene.
New ranges include a gorgeous collection of plush standing bears. Each bear is dressed in cosy winter clothing and features beautifully soft fur. Lady Bridget, Bertie, and Barnabus are expected to become much-loved Christmas traditions in many homes.
Meanwhile, the glassware collection has enjoyed a real ‘glow-up’. LED trees and candle holders are now fitted with rotating motors to create a pretty light show as they turn. A stunning range of silver, star-adorned lanterns features an internal shooting star effect, while extra-large standing baubles containing twinkling fairy lights make a bold statement with a beautifully simple design.
The Straits team is proud of its long-standing customer relationships, with many retailers ordering year after year. Stephen Robinson, owner of Robinson’s Aromas, says: “Our customers love the Christmas range. Every year it’s different and unique. The products all feel high-end and luxurious. What we love about Straits is that the quality speaks for itself.”
Another valued customer, John Drury from Light My Senses, comments: “The 2025 collection was absolutely stunning. Carriage and TV spinners flew out – I wish we’d ordered more! The mini plug-in spinners were also a huge hit with customers; they sold as quickly as we could get them on the shelves. We can’t wait to see the range for Christmas 2026.”
Beyond Christmas, Endless Summer is an extensive collection of bright, cheerful products for the home and garden. The range includes bistro sets, garden ornaments, faux flowers, planters, vases, glitter spinners, and much more, with many items available for immediate delivery.
Straits’ delivery schedule is another point of pride. Christmas stock will arrive in the warehouse from June, giving customers plenty of time to plan their merchandising. Many retailers report that they benefit from early festive sales, which then allows time for replenishment orders in the autumn.
