Welcome to this weeks edition of the Crystal Chronicle. It’s an incredibly exciting week at Crystal Galleries as we move from the success of Merchandise World straight into the heart of the awards and trophy industry season.
This weekend, we are heading to Munich & Birmingham and we’re bringing a few surprises with us. Here is our weekly update.
The wait is almost over. This Sunday and Monday, the Crystal Galleries team will be at The Holte Suite, Aston Villa Football Stadium for the TEAM Roadshow UK.
This is the premier event for the trophies, engraving and awards, and we’ve made sure our stand is worth the visit.
When: Sunday 8th & Monday 9th February
Where: Stand G3, The Holte Suite, Villa Park, Birmingham.
The Highlight: We aren't just bringing our 2026 catalogue; we are bringing a dedicated Clearance Section. If you are looking for high-quality crystal and glassware at unbeatable prices to boost your margins this year, Stand G3 is your first port of call.
We’ve officially crunched the numbers for the first month of 2026. While some of our 2025 favourites are still going strong, January saw a massive surge in desktop items. It seems everyone is looking to refresh their office branding for the new year.
January’s Top 3:
FC193 – 7cm Round Glass Paperweight
HM64 – 320ml Flamenco Crystalite Tumbler
JL27 – 260ml Dimple Base Whisky Tumbler
Check out the full January Best Sellers list here.
Have you met Katy (and Buzz) yet?
A few of you may have already had the pleasure of speaking with her, but if not, we’d love for you to get to know our newest recruit as she settles in to her new role.
Following our announcement that Crystal Galleries has renewed our partnership with The Teesside Charity for 2026, we are eager to help spread the word about how you can get involved.
The Teesside Charity does incredible work supporting individuals and families across the Tees Valley and their event calendar for the year is packed with opportunities to have fun, challenge yourself and give back.
Our new Eventbrite Calendar is live. You can use it to track exactly where we will be throughout 2026 and, more importantly, book a time slot to speak with our show experts.
If you have a bespoke project or a large order to discuss, booking a slot ensures we have a coffee and a seat ready for you.
After we touch down from Birmingham, we’ll be sharing a full gallery of the show highlights and some of the reactions to our new 2026 launches.
Safe travels to everyone heading to the Midlands this weekend—we’ll see you at Stand G3
The Crystal Galleries Team
