Must See at Spring Fair: Lesser & Pavey

Lesser & Pavey will unveil its largest-ever Christmas range alongside major developments across home fragrance, food gifts, bath & body products, nursery gifts, and homeware collections. Director Jonny Greves tells us more…

Lesser & Pavey is hitting a major milestone in 2026 – our 55th year in business! We’re thrilled to be heading to Spring Fair to present our latest collections to buyers. Among the highlights will be almost 1,000 new Christmas designs – our biggest festive range ever – coming off the back of a record-breaking 2025 Christmas period, where every single one of our seasonal products sold out.

All told, we’re introducing around 2,000 new lines across the board for the upcoming season, and home fragrance is leading the charge as a fast-growing category. Our Desire Aroma range is getting a fresh identity as Maison Parfum, a new name that better captures the upgraded quality, richer scents, and custom-designed packaging we create in-house. 

Both new 2026 products and customer favourites from last year will carry the Maison Parfum branding, which we’ll also be exhibiting at The London Home Fragrance Show in July. We’re not overhauling our approach – just elevating it to stand out even more.

Drawing on inspiration from premium perfume houses, our fragrances are paired with candles crafted from 100% natural components. The collection spans candles, reed diffusers and room sprays, with larger diffuser vessels in vibrant coloured glass designed to be eye-catching home accents. 

We dedicate significant time to perfecting bottle shapes – sizes reach up to 2 litres, though our 1-litre option remains the top seller. Many customers buy several to place throughout their homes, and since these larger bottles are built to last, we now offer refills up to 300ml that work across all our scents.

Room sprays have quickly become a fan favourite, available in 200ml, 250ml and 300ml sizes. These too feature elegant glass bottles that people want to keep, so we’re making refills available for them as well. 

Gift sets will be a big focus for us in 2026 as we work to make Maison Parfum a household brand – and we’re already seeing momentum build on TikTok, where our stockists are sharing the range with their audiences.

Complementing our fragrance offering is our growing selection of deluxe bath and body products, presented in stylish gift boxes as part of our giftware line. Currently featuring designs by William Morris and Madeleine by Hearts Design, these items are perfect as affordable gifts or spontaneous treats for shoppers – a real win for retailers too. They’re ideal for creating curated sets, from bath and shower bundles to hand and nail care collections. 

For S/S26, we’re introducing fun till-point CDU lines such as hand creams, bath fizzers, bath salts, and mini shower gels – including playful designs like sardines – all priced to be easy additions to any shopping trip.

We’re also expanding our food gifts category. What started three years ago with Christmas chocolate bombes, shortbread, and popcorn has now grown to include everyday lines such as coffee sets featuring William Morris patterns. We’re even weaving food elements into other collections, including our Greenfingers garden range and the Gardener’s Hand Care gift set.

Meanwhile, Lynsey Johnstone’s hand-painted glassware continues to thrive. A standout new addition is a versatile mug suitable for hot and cold drinks. Once people buy or receive a Lynsey Johnstone product as a gift, they often want to expand their collection – whether that’s a gin glass, wine glass, stemless glass, or the vase that was recently reintroduced due to popular demand. Every gift box includes a colourful leaflet showcasing other designs in the range, encouraging customers to build their collection.

New jigsaw puzzles have also been launched, featuring many of Lesser & Pavey’s top everyday and Christmas designs. Complementing these are 3D puzzles in a variety of themes, again covering both seasonal and year-round styles. These build on the success of the Mini Bricks range introduced last autumn, as crafting trends continue to surge. These new Woodcraft items retail for under £10, offering excellent value, and are attractively packaged and ready to gift.

William Morris remains one of the company’s strongest collections. For 2026, the new Daffodil tableware range joins existing designs such as Acorn, while the iconic Strawberry Thief pattern is now available in a striking teal colourway.

We’re also adding a burst of colour with a delightful range of hand-painted high-quality fine china ceramics. Crafted with care, each piece showcases bold, playful stripes in a choice of vivid palettes – from warm oranges and soft turquoises to bright reds, blues, and pretty pinks.

The collection features versatile designs to suit every need: stacking mugs that save cupboard space while creating a stylish display; standalone mugs perfect for morning coffee or afternoon tea; co-ordinating mug and coaster sets that protect surfaces in style; and elegant side plates ideal for serving biscuits, snacks, or small portions.

Each piece combines durability with a smooth, glossy finish that feels luxurious to the touch. The hand-painted detailing ensures subtle unique variations in every item, making each piece unique. Whether used daily or brought out for special occasions, this vibrant collection brings warmth and personality to any table setting – and makes a wonderful gift for lovers of bold, cheerful design.

The Dream Big range is a curated collection of wooden nursery gifts themed around gentle adventure and big aspirations. Featuring friendly animals, colourful hot air balloons and safari scenes in soft, soothing watercolour tones, every piece is designed to inspire wonder.

The collection includes a round wall clock for playful functionality; a heart-shaped plaque emblazoned with the uplifting message “Dream Big Little One”; and cloud-shaped décor pieces encouraging curiosity and exploration. 

There’s also a wooden photo frame bearing the message “The World is Yours to Explore” – perfect for showcasing precious milestones – alongside a charming wooden money box to help start savings for future adventures. Complementing the wooden pieces are fine china items, including a mug and mini tea set, ideal for pretend play or special treats.

Crafted with smooth, child-safe wood and delicate detailing, each product blends practicality with heartwarming design. Whether for a baby shower, christening, or first birthday, the Dream Big collection offers thoughtful, lasting gifts that bring warmth and inspiration to any nursery.

Also new is the Gold Edition: a line of glasses, mugs, and gifts featuring playful, quirky sayings. Plus, watercolour artist Clemency Bunn – whose popular British birds range launched last autumn – has expanded her collection with new Robin designs, and wildlife themes for S/S26, alongside the ever-popular Highland Cow. In terms of trends, demand for Highland Cows remains high, while Lesser & Pavey’s Cheeky Monkeys range continues to grow in popularity.
