Talking Tables' Something In The Air range wins big at UK Giftware Association

[Tue 01/03/2011 04:45:30]

Talking Tables has received two top honours at the 2011 UK Giftware Association awards after winning Gift of the Year for the special occasions category as well as being voted best in show and winning the Judges Choice award.

The awards were bestowed upon Talking Tables for the company’s exquisite Something In The Air collection of decorations, tableware, stationery and giftware, which exudes a feminine whimsy and caters to a vast array of categories and stores.

Drawing on old-world charm and quaint butterfly motifs, the Something In The Air range also possesses a contemporary appeal with its clean, white finish and has been keenly embraced by the entertaining, partyware and bridal sectors as well as by stationers, homeware boutiques and distinguished gift stores.

Exclusively distributed in Australia by Lark, the range is comprised of elegant tiered cupcake stands and decorative cupcake wrappers as well as matching table trivia, social stirrers, confetti cones and other stationery items such as printable invitations, envelopes, place cards and ribbon tags.

Talking Tables also won Gift of the Year in 2010 for its Truly Scrumptious collection, which is distributed in Australia by Lark as well.

Since its release, Something In The Air has been eagerly received by consumers though the recent wins have further bolstered the popularity of the collection, much to the delight of Lark’s founding owner, Allison Jones.

“Lark is delighted to be the exclusive distributor for Something in the Air by Talking Tables, this is the second year in a row that this small British design company has won a major gift award,” she says.

“It has been great to tell our Australian customers about this success and we have had a huge amount of interest and pre-orders for Something in the Air, which launches on 21 March.”
