Reed Gift Fair Sydney and GHA Home and Giving Fair Sydney

As one of the worlds leading developed nations Australia is home to many businesses and professions and many have trade fairs which are generally held in the larger cities on Melbourne and Sydney. The Reed Gift Fair and GHA Home and Giving Fair are both run by independent organisers twice each year in Sydney and twice in Melbourne. Both these trade only shows offer unrivalled access to wholesale products for retailers and new customers for wholesalers. The Reed Gift Fair and GHA Home and Giving Fair are essential for all prospective and successful businesses selling giftware products.

Both the Reed Gift Fair and GHA Home and Giving Fair are staged at the same time to maximise exposure and for the convenience of businesses attending. The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour is the focal point for the Reed Sydney Gift Fair and Sydney’s Homebush Bay is centre for the GHA Home and Giving Fair. It should be noted that GHA also has a limited presence at Darling Harbour and that free buses and water ferries run at regular intervals between the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre and Homebush. For those planning on taking the water ferry first thing in the morning it is recommended you arrive early to get ahead of the long queues and maybe secure a seat inside.

Both the Reed Gift Fair in Sydney and the GHA Gift Fairs in Sydney offer the perfect opportunity for wholesalers to introduce their products retailers and for retailers to source the newest and trendiest products as well as the popular favourites. There are many Australian and overseas wholesalers, suppliers and distributors at the Sydney Gift Fair that are regularly introducing new products into the

Australian market. For any business determined to stay competitive visiting the Gift Fair in Sydney is a must.

Registered business and attendees can enter both the GHA Home and Giving Fair and the Reed Gift Fair using the same pass. Once inside this often daunting maze of products buyers will find everything they could want or need to successfully stock a shop. The list of products on offer is seemingly endless but includes home décor, ceramics, leather goods, jewellery, framed pictures, souvenirs, aromatherapy, shop fittings and many Australian made products. There are also a number of useful seminars and presentations with a retail focus.

For anyone planning on visiting the Sydney Gift Fairs who is new to the experience, as well as regular buyers and retailers it is strongly recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes, stop for regular rests and most importantly to book your Sydney accommodation early. Restaurants should also be booked upon your arrival as there are many people attending the gift fair and all will be looking to eat out at the end of the day. Inside the Sydney GHA and Reed Gift Fairs there are a number of food outlets and hot drink vendors strategically located around the floor space. It is well worth planning to eat a little earlier than normal as the queues and lack of tables around normal lunch hours can be annoying.

For all Australian retail businesses that are looking for stock that sells then book your Sydney Gift Fair accommodation and other travel arrangements for the next the GHA Home and Giving Fair in Sydney and the Reed Gift Fair in Sydney. Both of these fairs are bi-annually. If you can’t attend both be sure to visit the bigger of the fairs which is held in Sydney in February.
