Summer 2024 - 12

FROM THE EDITOR
MAKING AN IMPACT
I
n what feels like a blink of an eye,
trade show season is once again
upon us.
I am positively elated that I will soon
be hopping on a plane and attending
some of the top buying destinations for
retailers. I'm also excited to share that
a new face joins the magazine staff on
the trade show floors this summer: Ellen
Wagner, the new managing editor of Gift
Shop®
Plus is curated to be a source of
Plus and Stationery Trends. Ellen
is an excellent editor and eager to meet
the industry. If you see us perusing the markets, please say hello.
This summer edition of Gift Shop®
inspiration as you stroll through this season's booths and showrooms.
We feature new-to-market product debuts on page 94. If you're buying
for the upcoming holidays, take a look at our Holiday Ornaments
showcase on page 24 and our Holiday Entertaining, Tabletop & Gifting
feature starting on page 74.
For those looking beyond the holidays and into 2025, consider
referring to our Living Alfresco Trend Report (page 29), our Apparel
& Accessories feature (page 66) and our Products with Purpose article
(page 88) - just to preview a few.
NOMINATE AN INDUSTRY STAR
The gift industry loves to celebrate - and we're right there with you!
Gift Shop®
Plus has opened nominations for the 2025 Spotlight Awards,
which showcases 12 individuals who are making an impact on our
industry with exemplary leadership, vision and innovation. This group
is composed of retailers, manufacturers, designers, sales managers
and executives.
We honored our dozen 2024 Spotlight Awards winners at Atlanta
Market in January with a breakfast ceremony that drew nearly 70
excited (and hungry) attendees looking to cheer on their peers who are
making a difference. We're accepting nominations through Aug. 23 at
giftshopmag.com/spotlight.
Ultimately, I encourage you to seize the opportunities to make your
impact. I cannot wait to visit with you all in the coming weeks as
market season unfolds. Keep your eye on our socials and website as
we identify the hottest trends, reunite with industry friends and, per
usual, have a ball.
Until next time,
Editorial Director
