Come and Say Hello: Gigil Is at The Baby Show, Olympia London
This weekend we're loading up the van, double-checking the tape measure and heading to Kensington. From Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th October, Gigil is exhibiting at The Baby Show at Olympia London, and we would love to meet you.
It's a special one, too. This year The Baby Show celebrates its 25th anniversary at Olympia, and after a quarter of a century of helping new and expectant parents find their feet, it feels like a lovely moment to be part of it.
Where to find us:
- Where: The Grand Hall, Olympia London
- Stand: D28
- Friday 23rd October: 9.30am - 5pm
- Saturday 24th October: 9.30am - 5.30pm
- Sunday 25th October: 9.30am - 5pm
Tickets are available from thebabyshow.co.uk/olympia
Why come and see us in person?
We know how it goes. You've scrolled, saved, compared and read every review, and you still want to know: will it actually fit everything? Is it as soft as it looks? Will it sit nicely on the changing unit?
That's exactly why we love shows like this. Come and pick things up, open the zips, try the straps on and fill the pockets. Ask us anything. We're a family business, and the people on our stand are the people who design, test and pack your orders, so you'll get honest answers from parents who've been there.
What you'll find on our stand:
- Luxe 2.0 Changing Backpack – our hard-working everyday bag. Come and see how much it holds (more than you'd think) and try it on for size.
- Teddy Nappy Caddy – rated 4.95 out of 5 by our customers and a favourite on nursery shelves everywhere. Come and give it a squeeze in both Sand Beige and Caramel Mocha.
- Gingham and Checkered Nappy Caddies – our newest designs, now available to pre-order. This is one of the first chances to see them in real life.
- Nappy Pouch – the little one that makes the quick nappy change in a café so much easier.
- Teddy Changing Basket and Teddy Storage Basket Set – for keeping the nursery calm, cosy and (mostly) tidy.
A proud year for us
It's been a big year for our little brand. Gigil is now stocked online at Next, and we've been shortlisted in three categories at the Mother&Baby Awards 2027: Best Baby Gift for the Teddy Nappy Caddy, Best Travel Product Under £30 for the Nappy Pouch, and Best Changing Accessory/Product for the Luxe 2.0 Changing Backpack.
We're quietly thrilled. But nothing beats hearing from you directly, so if you already use a Gigil product, please do stop by and tell us how it's getting on.
A few tips for your day at the show
- Go early if you can. The mornings are calmer and it's easier to have a proper look and a chat.
- Wear comfy shoes. The Grand Hall is big, and you'll do more walking than you expect.
- Bring a list. It helps to know what you need and what will fit in your home and your car.
- Leave room in your bag. Or bring an empty one. You'll thank us later.
- Catch a talk. Daisy First Aid is running a baby first aid session at 10am each day on the Live Talks Stage, and it's well worth the time.
With love, Lauren, Patrick and the Gigil team.
