which show to attend spring 2012?

[logobear]

I am wondering which show to go to?
Print and promotion wear, but it to bee getting smaller......
Trade Only national show seems to be growing,
Or the Gift Fair which covers everything but is just too big.
If I only go to one, which do you recommend?
Thanks

gift fair will not have as much of the "make it ourselves"

TONS was our show of choice last year - there were some issues of the number of reg businesses vs "general visitors" so make sure you take all your business details with you, one of our suppliers said they got a bit fed up with all the ebayers there - but apparently TONS have gone over their visitor list so the rep said from my suppliers, but it is a very good show and we were impressed. no parking fee, and last year they included a lunch, samples to try, and a chance to see listawood and other printers, have made some money last year through business contacts made there last year

will also be doing P&P we have no choice but to do springfair as some of our ready made gift suppliers are there
