For five decades, the Canadian Gift Association (CanGift) has been at the heart of Canada’s vibrant giftware industry—bringing together passionate makers, inspired designers, creative importers who source and share unique products from around the world, and dedicated retailers who connect these treasures with customers across the country.
This milestone year is a celebration of everyone who has shaped our story—from the visionary founders who launched our association and championed ownership of our first shows to the generations of exhibitors, and buyers who continue to make the Toronto Gift + Home Market, Alberta Gift + Home Market and our newest show the Atlantic Gift + Home Market essential destinations for our community.
We invite you to explore our shows where you’ll discover an incredible array of gift, home, fashion, souvenir, and lifestyle products that capture the spirit of creativity and innovation that defines our industry.
And because no milestone is complete without a celebration, we invite you to join us for a special 50th Anniversary Party on Monday, January 26 in Toronto! It’s our way of saying thank you to the amazing people who have supported CanGift for half a century. Click the link below to learn more and purchase tickets.
Here’s to fifty years of bringing people, products, and possibilities together—and to an exciting future filled with fresh ideas, new relationships, and endless inspiration.
