Anna Pasechnik, Chief Editor - GIFT Review magazine, Russia
Gifts & Premium Fair is a perfect reflection of the world's gift market with its diversity and variety of the assortment.
Eco gifts continue to be one of the most popular trends for today. Many exhibitors are proud to present new products made of recycled leather, glass and other materials as well as of natural materials such as cork and wood.
Another trend is tech gifts - all sorts of gadgets, bluetooth speakers, wireless chargers, power banks are widely used in promotional gifts segment of the market. The producers invent new forms, colors, types of these products to attract the customer. Multifunctionality is also being emphasied in the market. The gift must be useful and multifunctional nowadays, for example, it combines the functions of a speaker, stand for smartphones and selfie device. 2-in-1 is already not enough as a gift, the best gift should combine 3 functions or even more.
Another fast growing sector is licensed gifts. More and more companies choose this way to develop their business. The new zone Licensed Gifts at the fair is catering the needs of this segment.

The Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair is filled with exciting technology items. In a digital world, is there any sopace left for ceramic? Lorrain Lo, the Art Director of Butterfleyez shows how ceramic products can enlighten your life.
Butterfleyez is showcasing the latest collection of handmade dishes, called “The Little People”, which expresses the human emotions through a minimal design. Lorrain uses just two colors and a few lines to represent different emotional states which is beyond words can explain.
“There is philosophy in my paintings, I always draw little people because I think that humans are very small, but what they can do and achieve can be great. I want to communicate with people through my dishes, but what they see and feel in the dishes depends on their backgrounds.” said Lorrain about her work.

One of the many exhibitors that caught my attention is Hali-Power Industrial Company Limited. Aside from their notable MiLi power banks, they brought in two series of smart products: MiLi Smart Flash Drive Series and MiLi Smart Skincare Series, the latter is perfect as a gift choice for cosmetics companies.
InnoSphere Limited’s Drip Drop Coffee Accessories is another eye-catching series. It is uniquely convenient and handy, making it easier for you to make a brewed coffee, whether hot or cold!
Stereo Puzzles by Taiwan’s Siao Shan Po Life Co., Ltd, meanwhile, is a great option for the millennial who want a new assembly experience. It is amazing that speakers can be built using bare hands without any tools.
Babies have sensitive skin as we all know. Organic Life (Hong Kong) Company manufactures plush toys and baby apparels made with 100% certified organic materials to prevent skin allergies. This practice is still rare in the market.

For importers or trade journalists involved in the promotional products industry, the Gifts & Premium Fair is a must-see event on the annual trade show calendar. It offers loads of contacts to producers and agents selling articles from any product category one can imagine – from perennial classics like writing instruments, notebooks or Bluetooth/USB devices to more exotic and unusual products.
Moreover, the show gives an excellent insight into current and future trends in the market – what we see here today will be at the shows in Europe in one or two years. The Hall of Fine Designs and the Isle of Originality in Hall 1 are among my absolute top picks. Here, you can find innovative and inventive ideas that really stick out and offer added value for importers, distributors and end users. Also a top priority: The Smart Design Village in Hall 5C. You think that wheel can’t be re-invented in our industry? Come here and think again.
Coming to the fair is not only for product sourcing and trend spotting, but also for networking, grooming contacts, exchanging the latest news and seeing old friends – the show, by own accounts, is the world’s leading gift fair in all aspects.

Walking the halls at the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair, one thing is immediately clear: this is a trade show that champions local talent.
From the new Startup Zone to the Hong Kong Exporters’ Association pavilion and the Hong Kong Smart Design Awards, it’s fantastic to see local designers and entrepreneurs being encouraged to share their creations with the world.
Of course, having large international brands like Moleskine exhibit at gift fairs will always be important, but it is the local talent that sets each fair apart and offers visitors a unique experience. For international attendees, being able to discover this hidden talent is vital—consumers are constantly searching for new products, and so being able to introduce new brands into their home market gives buyers a valuable edge over the competition.
There are so many innovative Hong Kong brands that deserve to be discovered by an international audience, and it is great to see the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair making it easy. Brands like Nu Design which creates smart accessories from recycled leather, or The Daydreamer Studio which offers a whole host of cute gifts and novelties for the home and kitchen have serious export potential just waiting to be harnessed by international companies.

“To expand overseas markets for MIT (Made in Taiwan) products, the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan launched the ‘Taiwan-made Product MIT Smile Logo’ in 2010. The certification logo promotes the image of top-quality MIT products. This is the first time that the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan has appointed our company to set up the MIT Pavilion at the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair to promote top-quality MIT products to international buyers and let them know more about the ‘Taiwan-made Product MIT Smile Logo’. We have brought together 18 Taiwanese companies to showcase a broad variety of gift items such as ceramic tableware, small home appliances, apparel, handbags, towels, socks, hiking shoes, fashion accessories and blankets. As the biggest of its kind in the world, the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair provides the perfect platform for Taiwanese exhibitors to increase their exposure and to connect with more buyers from around the world. Many buyers from all over the world are interested in MIT products and made a lot of enquiries at the fair.”

“Established in 1981, our company started out as a greeting card designer and manufacturer. Over the years, we have developed a wide range of gift items such as wooden gifts, musical boxes, paper products and scrapbook albums. We are happy to have set up the largest booth again at the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair to promote our eighth brand – Jeantopia, which was launched earlier this year. This year we have transformed our booth into a DIY flagship store where we provide materials such as fabrics, paper and wooden parts for buyers to create their own products such as household items, stationery, photo frames and bags. The Hong Kong fair attracts quality buyers who are looking for DIY lifestyle products that can bring new experience for consumers. Many buyers like our DIY workshop and wholesalers from France, Turkey, the UK and the US have expressed their interest in bringing our DIY workshop to their markets.”

“We have been exhibiting at the Hall of Fine Designs for more than 10 years to promote our B.Duck brand and further boost our exports. We have designed and produced a wide variety of B.Duck products such as gifts, stationery, bags, kitchenware, children’s tableware and mobile phone accessories. B.Duck was launched in 2005 and its products are exported mainly to the Chinese mainland, Europe and Southeast Asia. The Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair is important to us because buyers like to visit our booth to see and touch our new products. More importantly, we are able to find new customers through the fair every year. This year we met with a large EU buyer who is keen to distribute our B.Duck products in France, Germany and Italy. In fact, there is a growing demand for B.Duck products among kidults in European countries.”

Our delegation has occupied a total of 44 booths, the largest-ever Shangyu Pavilion at the Hong Kong fair. Since the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair provides a good platform for Shangyu manufacturers to showcase their strengths, they have received onsite orders. In view of overwhelming responses from buyers, we plan to join the fair again next year.”

“Reina Batata has 25 retail outlets in Argentina, selling kitchenware, gadgets, gifts and decorative items. This is our first time visiting the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair. At the fair, we have seen new designs for tableware, decorative items and key chains. We have met with more than 70 exhibitors from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. After going back to Argentina, we’ll shortlist 25 new suppliers and buy different products worth US$100,000 in total from these suppliers. We like the fair because it is a huge show where we can find what we want here. Exhibitors offer nice designs and good quality. I’ll come back next year.”

Our clients include museums, collectibles shops, antiques shops and zoos. We visit the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair regularly to look for new products and high-end packaging boxes.
