This, for some reason, seems like a Euphorbia to me - I don't know why, so that's probably wrong? Pictures:
It has a little sort of fringe around the leaves:
And this one (it's about 30cm tall, if that helps)
Identifications please?

Identifications please?
I was very kindly given these two plants at the show in Birmingham yesterday but didn't think to ask what they were (no labels). Any ideas?

Hi,
The first one looks like Aeonium arboreum Zwartkop I think!! This spelling seems to have the edge on Schwarzkopf as far as this forum is concerned.

Re: Identifications please?
Thank you, those names seem correct. 
Re: Identifications please?
Is the Aeonium supposed to be dropping its leaves and drooping slightly?
Re: Identifications please?
Well,yes.Aeoniums do that all the time but perhaps a little more in winter and in room temperature.
Thord. All kinds of smallgrowing cacti.

Re: Identifications please?
Aeonium's to me are just Brussels Sprouts with the Brussels removed, but then what do I know about Other Succulents! 
They all become "leggy" in time as the lower leaves are shed, becoming just a crown of leaves on top of a long stem and are usually eventually cut down and the tops re-rooted. You may find these links interesting Ava:-

Re: Identifications please?
Ava - Dont be put off, Aeonium "Scharzkopf" can be quite rewarding. Admittedly it is an easy plant to grow and eventually needs a fairly large pot. It is atually quite easy to grow outside in the summer and when the first frosts are likely bring it indoors, water it still, even lightly through the winter and when you see the flowers eventually you will be amazed. They have lrge spays of yellow flowers that last a long time in the cooler weather. But be warned, it has to be quite large in order to flower.
