Here’re my Absolute Favorites From New York’s Largest Gift Show

Here’re my Absolute Favorites From New York’s Largest Gift Show

It may be a lazy February Sunday for the rest of New York City but things are buzzing inside the Javits Convention Center in Midtown Manhattan. Thousands of makers and brands set up their displays and welcome buyers and retail shop owners from around the country and the world to browse their goods and get ready for the coming season. Yes, shop owners have to shop too! And NY NOW is the largest trade show with miles and hours to walk through the extensive floors of the Javits in search of the newest cards, candles, toys, home accessories and much more. I walked the floors myself and picked up my absolute favorites for 2020.
