Summer 2016
Trend Report: Summer Loving

Make the most of the sunniest season of all with coordinates that put your clientele in the party mood. Taking center stage, pineapples have become the gold standard in giftware, while palm and banana leaves epitomize a breezy, Cuba-inspired cool.

Also making trend headlines: endangered though some species may be, butterflies endure as design elements that bring needed attention to their plight; marble textures add a dynamic touch to everything from balloons to candles to tabletop; and free-spirited Fiesta infuses offerings with energy and excitement.
