The New York Gift Shows: February 2023
Every year in February and August, our team attends two big trade shows in New York City: massive, sprawling NY NOW, one of the biggest home and gift shows in the industry, and Shoppe Object, a curated gift show founded in 2018 that has been growing larger and more exciting with each year we’ve visited.
Check what our team saw on our latest visit to New York!
