The digital edition of Australian Giftguide January-March is out now – a bumper first issue of the year with lots of new products, informative articles and exciting news.
In our special report we look at newsagents which are expanding their ranges to include giftware. Just as gift and homewares retailers are adding apparel to their stores to compete with changing consumer needs, many newsagents are adding giftware to fight back against declining magazine, newspaper and lottery sales.
Look out for our article where four industry leaders give their top tips for retailers. We talk to experts such as top3 by design managing director Terri Winter; kikki.K founder Kristina Karlsson; Matchbox director Charlie Cohen, and Opus Design Co, Opus and Octopus owner Chris Tourgelis.
We also feature some great industry profiles, including Charlotte Gueniau, founder and creative director of Rice; Mel and Amanda, the owners of Twig & Moss, and Karl Sorensen, owner, founder and director of innovative Chicago retail store P.O.S.H.
We have chosen our gia Australia winner for 2013/14 and this year TheSuperCool will represent Australia at the global gia awards in Chicago this March. Be sure to check out store owners’ Kate Vandermeer and David Nunez story to read about their award-winning ideas.
Once again we have selected the best products for your stores, which you can find in our regular sections, with our seasonal selection this issue being Mother’s Day.
