This month, Gifts Today takes a look at the latest photo frames on the market
points. I Susan Grant, marketing manager
of Widdop Bingham, refl ects on the market: “Photo frames can largely be split into everyday frames and frames that mark an occasion. Both areas continue to grow. We surround ourselves more and more with photos of our nearest and dearest and as a result photo frames remain a fi rm favourite. Multi aperture frames, a piece of wall art with not just a decorative function but also a useful one too, are producing growth. “Everyday frames continue to be
infl uenced by current design trends. Photo frames have in many homes have become the home decoration of choice. The trend in retro designs and infl uences such as Rennie Mackintosh continue apace. Frames with a 3D sentiment add a contemporary and fun look to a frame. Bling too makes an appearance on frames adding sparkle to a common item.

s there a more evergreen gift item than the humble photo frame? A strong seller across all seasons and intrinsically personalisable, photo frames cover a wide spectrum of sizes and price
“Given that a photo frame is a home accessory, coordinating products stocked by retailers encourages linked sales can be encouraged by retailers. A storage box, an album, a guest book and a frame in a wedding design provides the perfect opportunity for the consumer to link sales.
“Point of sale such as a photo frame stand shows off all frames at their best encouraging the consumer to consider purchasing an additional frame.”
The photo frame market has also undoubtedly benefi ted from the advent of digital photography. Snappers no longer have to worry about the cost implications of taking pictures. It has liberated our fi ngers on the shutter buttons and also led to a burgeoning home printing market (along with easy- to-use printing booths in supermarkets, chemists and elsewhere). With this in mind, here are some of the latest frames on the market, waiting to be fi lled by the amateur David Baileys out there.
