Seattle Gift Show marks 80th year with new resources, new educational offerings
Further strengthening the product offerings, the Seattle Gift Show temporary exhibits come together with the permanent showrooms at the Seattle Mart to co-host Seattle Market Week.
Urban Craft Uprising Pavilion returns to Makers’ Market section Retailers will find even more handcrafted, artisan designs with the return of the Urban Craft Uprising Pavilion. Showcasing the work of 30+ artisans from Seattle’s largest indie craft show, the pavilion returns this summer to join the show’s Makers Market sector offering a wide range of handcrafted goods for the retailers to explore.
More new regional resources, best-selling brands, first-time exhibitors The summer edition will welcome even more first-time exhibitors, new designs, artistic styles and regional best-sellers that retailers won’t find at other markets. The show features product in every sector, including general giftware, collectibles, decorative accessories, table top, home décor, souvenir and resort apparel, jewelry and much more- all in one easy-to-shop layout, all on one floor. Categories Include: Gift & Home, Makers’ Market, Personal Style, Treasures To Go (Cash & Carry) and Gourmet. Retailers can also look for an expanded selection of American-made products, eco-friendly items and fair trade resources this summer.
