The digital edition of Australian Giftguide April-June 2015 is out now, another bumper issue with lots of new products, great reviews and informative articles.
In our trends report we look at how fast fashion is making inroads into the Australian homewares market. Global retailers such as Zara and H&M are now offering homewares collections at reasonable prices while stores such as Target are collaborating with well-known designers to create affordable ranges. So what does this mean for Australian retailers? You can read all about it in this issue.
Look out for our category reviews on cookware, eco products, collectibles & figurines and candles & fragrances, where we take a closer look at each of these sectors including current trends in the market, facts and figures, and visual merchandising techniques.
Don’t forget to check out our trade fair reports featuring some of the best, innovative and sometimes quirky products that were showcased at the Home & Giving and Reed Gift Fair in Sydney and at Ambiente in Frankfurt.
This edition also features the last instalment of Giftguide’s 40th birthday series, covering the years from 2005 to 2014 as well as AGHA’s 8-page section with news and updates for its members.
