The August gift fairs are just around the corner and over 450 exhibitors will be showcasing their latest collections to buyers at Reed Gift Fairs Melbourne.

Located between doors 1 to 8 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), retailers, interior designers and buying executives will find everything they need for sourcing under one roof.

“Reed Gift Fairs is a must-attend sourcing event for buyers who want to run more successful and profitable businesses,” says Cory McCarrick, portfolio director.

 “In just a few days, they can see, touch and feel thousands of products, compare quality and pricing and place orders with confidence. It’s the most time-efficient way to refresh their shelves, discover what’s trending and avoid costly buying mistakes, which often happen when sourcing online.”

With a stronger industry focus on Australian made than ever before as consumers seek out locally made products, Reed Gift Fairs is partnering with Australian Made Campaign this year to support home-grown brands including RPCutters and Sun Zappers.

RPCutters is an Australian made and owned family business creating high-quality metal art, founded in 2011 by father-daughter duo John and Katherine Wicker. Inspired by Aussie flora and fauna, their pieces brighten homes and gardens and make perfect gifts.

Australian owned Sun Zapper has been protecting people from sunburn since 1995 and celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Its zinc sticks and sunscreens are 100 per cent Australian made.

There is also a fresh lineup of over 30 breakthrough brands—a dynamic selection of innovative, start-up wholesalers, exhibiting for the very first time. Expect to find a wide variety of brand-new and unique products from passionate entrepreneurs that will set your store apart. You can find breakthrough brands such as Byron & Yorke, Goodgie and Vedastika in Halls 3 and 4.

Byron & Yorke products including paper napkins, microfibre tea towels and bar mats feature modern prints and fresh colour palettes adding personality to every occasion and a little luxury to your everyday.

Sahara Smith started Goodgie after struggling with a skin condition that left her with hyperpigmentation. Goodgie scrubs are long-lasting, machine washable and hygienic and buyers can check them out at the fair and see why it’s a gift shop favourite.

Vedastika incense sticks are handmade, organic and free from charcoal, providing a clean and natural experience. Each stick provides a soothing burn time of approximately 55 to 60 minutes. These sticks are perfect for meditation, relaxation or simply to create a positive and invigorating atmosphere in the home or workplace.
