Highlights of the 2008 Show
No need to struggle to find gifts with a difference for those hard-to-buy-for friends and family, Crafts for Scotland and Crafts for Christmas are just brimming with unique products which you won't find on the high street.
Then bring your hand held items or photo images to the NEC where you can meet the TV experts Tom Keane and Jonty Hearnden and have a FREE valuation from the show's resident Antiques Valuation Team. There will also be the opportunity to enter your items into the forthcoming Pre Christmas Cash in the Attic Auction so you can raise some cash for Christmas from your attic!
Meet the experts
Get into the festive mood and enjoy stunning crafts made in the time honoured way with individual care and attention to detail and speak to the actual craftspeople who created them. Up to 200 talented craftspeople and artists will be brought together under one roof just in time for Christmas! The show presents an ideal opportunity to get ahead with your seasonal shopping and purchase some high quality, unusual gifts.

British Toymakers Guild (NEC only)
We are very pleased to welcome the British Toymakers Guild to the Crafts for Christmas show.

Visitors will discover an exciting range of traditional & contemporary toys - everything from nursery toys right up to sought-after items for adult collectors (after all, sometimes toys are far too good to be limited to children!) and everything in-between.
