The Welsh word Hiraeth doesn’t have an English translation but is often simply described as “homesickness”. It is more complex than that. It evokes longing, wistfulness, nostalgia, a sense of place and community.
It is why those who are born in Wales have an almost magnetic attachment to Wales. It is why visitors come back time and time again and often want to take Welsh gifts back to their homes.
Hiraeth gift fair strives to provide buyers from the retail and tourism industry in Wales with that sense of place that customers are looking for. We want to be more than a traditional retail fair. We aim to be at the heart of the Welsh
retails and gift industry.
Hiraeth Gift Fair in Swansea is put together to help the retail and tourism sector to access the very best in design led Welsh home and giftware businesses. It is the place to discover new brands and trends and provide customers with
a more ethical, sustainable and truly Welsh made and designed shopping experience.
Hiraeth Gift Fair is brought to you by Little Bit Different who have been blazing a trail for Welsh products within the wholesale industry since 2010.
