In late January, our amazing merchandisers spent a few days at gift shows in both Atlanta and Las Vegas, scoping out the latest, greatest products for our customers. The team was flooded with beautiful eye-catching displays, fresh new color combinations, and innovative new products.

These bustling, well-attended shows are hosted in beautiful buildings with permanent showrooms. Buyers spend long hours each day walking, walking, walking through all the showrooms, much like you would shop at a nice boutique – browsing, touching, soaking in all the new products and chatting with the on-site sales teams.

Our merchandisers focus their shopping efforts on the latest trends, looking for great values on all your favorite things!

Our tireless team returned with lots of new gifts and decorations — and we’re excited to share a few pictures with you!

Our fearless merchandising manager, Denise!

Our customers love Dachshund items and we found some great ones! The Weiner Mom nightshirt will be sold in our 2016 Christmas campaign.

Check out these beautiful laser-cut Christmas cards. They stand up like shadow boxes and include mailing envelopes. These shows feature loads of new autumn and Christmas products — our particular shopping focus this time of year. Did you know our merchandisers work almost a year ahead of the current season?

Double duty! The “Be Thankful“ sign Tiffany is holding reverses to a Christmas sentiment on the back.

Some fun trends included Christmas Coastal…fun seaside and warm weather decorations for our neighbors on the water.

We love the little trailers decorated for Christmas — perfect for our Happy Camper friends!
