Christmas Gift Ideas
... seen at the Winter Fair!
The Christmas Gift Hall at the Winter Fair 2009
The 20th Royal Welsh Winter Fair was officially opened by Elin Jones, Minister for Rural Affairs. The Fair, acclaimed the finest prime stock show in Europe, attracted record cattle entries this year with over 350 leading stockmen competing for the top prizes. There were also strong entries of sheep and pigs and horse and pony entries reached 730, the highest since 2004 and 71 more than in 2008.
A survey following last year's show indicated that shopping for new and exciting Christmas gift ideas was one of the main reasons for coming to this prestigious livestock and equestrian event. Every available space is put to good use with exhibition stands erected in the main buildings, marquees and even in much of the livestock shedding! Our own trade stand was located in the 'Gift Hall' - a euphemism for 'Goat Shed'! The only give-away was the word 'goats' still clearly visible under the temporary signage above the entrance - as shown in our feature photo above.
Despite the humble surroundings our handmade silver and gold jewellery attracted the attention of the farming community in Wales in no uncertain measure! Our unique silver daisy jewellery collection was a big hit, as was the launch of our new and original white sapphire ring designs. There is no doubt that both the silver and gold jewellery were considered to be amongst the most popular Christmas gift ideas at the show.
Have a look at some of the popular designs - you may just find the Christmas gift idea you hadn't yet thought of!
