We are a family owned wholesale giftware, garden/homewares and souvenirs business, formed in 1971 above a small boat building yard in Margate, Kent, UK. Originally, we specialised in postcards, manufacturing and selling to retail outlets along the South Coast of England, it's sometimes difficult to believe how far we've come from our humble beginnings. Major importers and exporters of wholesale gifts, toys, garden products, souvenirs and homewares, we are situated in Broadstairs, Kent operating from 20,000 sq. ft. of offices and showrooms, with a further 126,000 sq. ft. of warehousing. Our customer base is extremely diverse, ranging from multiple retailers, wholesale and mail order to small independent retailers. In addition to supplying the UK gift market we also supply a number of clients in Worldwide with affordable design-led giftware products to suit virtually every type of market. Elgates' studio also offers the facility to design bespoke product exclusively for our clients. For further information please contact us.
