I was in New York at the end of January-early February for Gift Show (a.k.a. the New York International Gift Fair), which happens twice a year at the Javits Convention Center. It’s a huge show with a LOT of STUFF (think: thousands and thousands of exhibitors in a humungous convention center with products ranging from stationery and books to all kinds of gifts, accessories, home décor, and more).
Originally, I was going to write a blog post summarizing my Gift Show observations, but trying to encapsulate the show in one blog post is… impossible. There is no way I could even dent the surface. So, instead, here’s a visual snapshot of just some of the many books, stationery, and gift items that caught my eye, plus a few non-Gift Show discoveries.
