Gift & Stationery Sample Box Trend Insiders

As a member of the Gift Shop® Plus and Stationery Trends Trendspotters Community, you will be eligible to receive curated boxes of samples from our advertisers.

If you are applying to the program for the first time, please fill out this application. If you received an email or postcard inviting you to apply to the program, please fill out this application to confirm your details.

Program Eligibility

You must be an owner or buying manager of a retail store located in the contiguous U.S., with a storefront open to the public during regular business hours. If you’re the buying manager, the owner must be aware of your participation, and their contact details must be provided for confirmation.
Only one person per business/store may join the program. If your business operates multiple locations, only one individual per location may participate, unless each has its own owner or buying manager.
After receiving the sample box, you must agree to complete a survey, typically within 10 days. The survey will take approximately one hour, so please ensure you have the time to thoroughly evaluate the products and provide feedback. Failure to complete the survey or submitting it late may result in removal from the program.

NOTE: We will respond to your application within 10 business days via the email you provide. If you are approved, you may not receive the next box that goes out, depending on where we are in the fulfillment process. You will NOT receive every box that we send throughout the year; we send out a limited number of boxes each time, so we alternate recipients.
