HOW TO SHOP GIFT + HOME
Walk Every Aisle
Keep your eyes open! Take notes on which items and brands stand out to you. Imagine your customer and look for items that will draw them into your store.
Plan Ahead
Use the ASD Mobile App to search and explore brands before the show. Save your favorites, preview products, find private label offerings, and view show specials to maximize your time in this neighborhood.
Discover NEW Brands
Each neighborhood features brands that are new to the show, offering new distribution and revenue potential. Look for “NEW” floor stickers in every neighborhood to easily spot these opportunities or search the ASD Mobile App.
Look For Bestsellers
Ask about a brand’s new and best-selling items to see what’s trending. Bestsellers are a great way to test a new item or introduce a new category.
Bring The Outdoors In
Nature meets modern living in the world of biophilic design. As more shoppers are bringing the outdoors in, indoor-friendly outdoor items can transform not only your bottom line, but your customer’s home into a tranquil oasis.
Get The Look For Less
From stationery and school supplies to candles and home décor, you can find sought-after trends for a fraction of the price. Whether you are brick-and-mortar or e-commerce, meet the needs of your evolving customer with affordable products that fly off the shelves.
Celebrate All
Year
Shop with special occasions and holidays in mind. Most customers share a common shopping habit; they purchase something for Mother’s Day, for their boss, for an anniversary, a birthday, or a wedding. Personalize items to create a more meaningful connection that can impact your shoppers and your sales.

THE BIZ BUZZ ON GIFT + HOME
Sales of serveware and small specialty appliances are being bolstered by a renewed focus on home gatherings and a larger cultural shift toward in-person social connection, according to market research firm Circana. The trend in entertaining at home affordably is coming at a moment when many high-use entertaining products purchased early in the pandemic are hitting their replacement phase — positioning these categories for strong growth.

With projected consumer spending reaching a record $27.5 billion this Valentine’s Day, the gift retailing market forecasts rapid expansion in 2025 — fueling growth in the global gift box market along with it. Gift-giving culture has expanded globally, driving demand for packaging to enhance the gifting experience and create share-worthy moments. In addition to aesthetic appeal, consumers are increasingly seeking eco-friendly options that minimize waste.
