New York International Gift Fair: Part One

I have so many fun products to show you from last week's New York International Gift Fair. Last week I showed you the clever housewares by Alice Supply Co. Here are three more favorites:

First, Pearhead is one of my favorite manufacturers of baby photo albums (I have purchased their Picture Spine Photo Albums several times- they look so nice lined up on a baby's bookshelf). They introduced some fantastic new products at the Gift Fair including these:

Pearhead's photo albums include the Pink or Blue Dots Baby Book shown here, which has spaces for baby's footprint and photo. On sale for $29.95 (reduced from $35) at Baby Sakes

I adore these new Pearhead "I Love [Grandma, Mommy, Daddy]" photo bookmarks, brag books, and picture frames. Mother's Day and Father's Day gifts for new (grand)parents don't get much better than these. I haven't found them for sale online yet...stay tuned at the Pearhead website.



Second, while there was no shortage of eco-friendly totes at the Gift Fair (the market for these is getting pretty saturated, I think), some of them stood out for me. I liked the no-nonsense, plain canvas backgrounds and clever sayings on these bags by Dogeared. Each retails for about $27.


Last for now, there was a big display outside the exhibition hall of eco-friendly, sustainable products and I spotted these textured cards by Daisy D Designs (a Greenwich Village company that represents several makers of handmade stationery). I just love the texture of these cards, and, of course, the messages.


Stay tuned for more finds from NYIGF.
