The Shows: Show Reports

In January, I attended The California Gift Show, LA Mart, NYIGF and 7 W Baby & Gift Fair. The shows were brimming with exciting new products for children’s retailers. Here are some quick-pick highlights of a few of the many fantastic products that caught my attention at the gift markets: JUMBiES, Capturing Couture, SplatBack, Kover-Ups and Oomfy. Enjoy my gift rap, and look for upcoming reviews from Toy Fair, KidShow and MAGIC.

7 W New York’s first annual NYC Baby & Kids Fair, January 30 - February 1, 2010, promises to be an exciting new event with inspiring and business-enhancing keynote presentations from industry experts. The fair, on the building’s 11th floor, will coincide with three key days of the 7 W Winter Gift and Home Textiles Market^®, offering an added value and mutual benefit to exhibitors and attendees of both shows.

The new 2010 Spring/Summer collections are out, and here at the The Giggle Guide^® we’ve fallen head over heels for many of the new products introduced at the latest ENK International Children’s Club! The show floor overflowed with delightful contributions from innovative companies like 3 Sprouts, Moo Boo, and cachcach to name just a few. We’d like to share our enthusiasm by offering the following photos, straight from New York, for your viewing pleasure.
