NEW TRADITIONS
H

oliday traditions can create a sense of magic and
wonder, especially for children. Personally,
I'm so excited for all of the " firsts " for my new
grandson - first Christmas, first Easter, first Fourth of
July - you get the picture. This Nana is not holding back
when it comes to baby's first everything!
Expanding the holiday selling season has paid off for
many retailers we've talked to. During the pandemic,
Sara Villari, owner of Occasionette, decided to kick off
her holiday displays in October - significantly earlier
than normal - to give customers ample time to shop.
Find out how that decision has affected her stores on
page 62.

Visiting live Christmas tree lots while growing up on
the East Coast was a favorite tradition of Andrew and
Chelsea Evans. The transplanted retailers, owners of
Roaming Travelers in Joshua Tree, California, missed
it so much they started an outdoor holiday market,
complete with a Christmas tree lot. Anchoring the
retail oasis is their vintage Airstream camper retrofitted
into a traveling boutique. Check out their high-desert
aesthetic on page 68.
Did you know more than 3.45 million Americans
celebrate the Islamic holy month? Islam is the secondlargest
religion worldwide, but partyware and tabletop
offerings for the religion's holidays and occasions - such
as Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr - have historically been in
short supply. Gift Shop® Plus managing editor Carly
McFadden talks with one creative entrepreneur who is
changing that with her upscale disposable partyware to
celebrate Islamic holidays. Learn more about her, and
Ramadan, on page 72.
Holiday
traditions
are
important
because
they
3
provide a sense of meaning, connection and joy during
a time of year that can be both joyful and challenging.
Retailers can create a sense of community and foster
new traditions for their customers that will get passed
on from generation to generation. We look forward to
celebrating old and new traditions with you!
