Paper Tiger Named Finalist for The Greats 2026

We are thrilled to announce that Paper Tiger has reached the final stage of The Greats Gift Retailer Awards 2026!

For 45 years, we’ve called Edinburgh home. In that time, we’ve always believed that the way we present our products is just as important as the products themselves. This year, the UK gift industry has recognised that passion by naming us a finalist for 'Best In-Store Or Window Display.'

What makes a Paper Tiger display? It’s more than just arranging items on a shelf. It’s about our uniquely creative collections of products and people. We see our windows as a canvas to tell the stories of the independent artists, printers, and makers we represent. Whether it’s a celebration of Scottish design or a head turning Christmas scene, our displays are designed to stop you in your tracks and bring a little bit of joy to your day.

A Team Effort This nomination is a testament to our hardworking team. Paper Tiger is a Real Living Wage employer; we value our people, and their knowledge, experience and creativity is reflected in the pride they take in our stores. Every neatly aligned shelf, every themed collection, and every creative window display is a result of a team that believes in one another and our mission to provide the very best.

Being "Wildly Independent" means we do things our own way. To be recognised on a national level alongside the best in the business is a proud moment for us.

Thank you for supporting us on this journey since 1981. We can’t wait to see what happens at the awards ceremony in London this May!
