(A Gorjuss) Spring Is In The Air | All eyes were on Gorjuss™ at Spring Fair International at the NEC last week, with Santoro’s stand deluged by excited customers, desperate for a peek at the captivating new products on display. The range exhibited by Santoro included the latest Gorjuss™ greeting card designs, premium notebooks and scribblers, correspondence sets, fashion bags and much more.
 Sales Director Goddie Quaye was very pleased by the response; “Gorjuss created a real buzz at the show, literally stopping visitors in the aisles. Customers highlighted the eye-catching imagery, broad market appeal, and heart and soul of the illustrations as key attractions for them. One well known high street specialist retailer commented that Gorjuss was the ONLY range at the show he wanted for their stores, and who are we to argue?!” Click here to review Gorjuss™ products on Santoro’s shop site. | |
| Blushing Beauty | Golden Bear’s colourful new Candyblush™ toy range received a strong reaction from retailers at the recent London Toy Fair. Sales Director Julie Taylor was excited by the "positive comments from the independents, as it offered something different". The Candyblush™ brand targets girls aged 3+ and celebrates friendship and the fun side of life.
 The Golden Bear range which includes plush toys in addition to a colour-in rag doll, paint-your-own money bank set, make-your-own greetings card kit and several other make & do lines, will be available at retail in the UK later this year. | | |
