The Very Hungry Caterpillar Eats all the Awards
 Portmeirion's The Very Hungry Caterpillar range has proven to be one of the best gift sets on the market by garnering not one but two awards at the Gift of the Year Awards 2008.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar collection was named winner of the Kids category, sponsored by Giftware Review, and the Branded/Character category, sponsored by Copywatch, at the Gift of the Year stand at the Summer Fair on 22nd June 2008.
Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar is loved by modern generations and sells one book every 30 seconds. Portmeirion's bold and bright children's giftware features the striking images of Carle's well-known story and includes a mug, money box, and dinnerware sets as well as melamine and lap trays.
Eric Carle's interest and love of nature and the environment are reflected in the collection with ceramic pieces made to last and each and every one packaged in a treasure box that can be re-used again and again, decorating the bedrooms of young readers.
With two accolades from the 2007 Gift of the Year Awards for Totally Tracy and Botanic Garden, Portmeirion is building an outstanding reputation for its quality giftware sets including design icons like Botanic Garden and much loved literary characters like Eric Carle's caterpillar and Jacqueline Wilson's Tracy Beaker.
