Philadelphia's Gift Show Celebrates 30 Years as Regional Wholesale Marketplace Powerhouse
In a bid to mark its three-decade milestone, the largest and longest-running gift show in the Mid-Atlantic region, Philadelphia Gift Show, will throw open its doors February 1-3 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center. As the premier wholesale marketplace for retailers seeking fresh products, emerging brands, and industry-leading trends, this year's anniversary edition promises to be its most celebratory yet.
For a quarter-century, the show has earned a reputation for connecting buyers with an extensive range of exhibitors offering a diverse array of merchandise spanning multiple categories, including Holiday & Seasonal, Decorative Accessories, Made in USA, Handmade & Handcrafted, Jewelry and more. With over 200 exhibitors from both established brands and newcomers joining forces, attendees are set to be spoiled for choice as they navigate the expansive show floor.
Show Director April Holinek expressed her excitement at marking this momentous occasion, emphasizing that the show has always been built around the notion of bringing people together. "This year, we're pulling out all the stops with special giveaways, anniversary celebrations, and an incredible lineup of exhibitors." Whether you're a seasoned attendee or a first-timer, Holinek promised that every individual would be made to feel welcome and ensured an unforgettable experience.
The show will feature an impressive array of activities designed to enhance the buyer experience. Early arrivals will receive goody bags filled with exhibitor samples on Sunday, February 1, followed by a cake and champagne toast celebrating three decades of the show. Daily prize giveaways featuring exhibitor-sponsored gifts and merchandise credits are planned throughout the event.
Monday's festivities include another goody bag giveaway for early attendees, accompanied by a lunch of classic Philly cheesesteaks. On Tuesday, buyers will have the opportunity to participate in daily giveaways and claim a lunch voucher available at registration.
Retailers from a diverse range of industries – including apparel, home décor, gourmet food, garden and outdoor, jewelry, museums, spas, pharmacies, souvenir shops, and specialty stores – are invited to take advantage of free admission. For those looking to discover Made in America brands just in time for America's 250th birthday, the show is set to showcase an extraordinary lineup of these innovative products.
"This milestone year is all about honoring craftsmanship and innovation," stated Lisa Berry, Group Vice President at Clarion Events. "We're thrilled to offer retailers a wide selection of homegrown products that will truly define 2026."

I'm so down for this! A 30-year-old gift show is like a time capsule of the past... and not just because it's been around since my grandma was still in high school 
. But seriously, who doesn't love browsing through aisles of swag and trinkets? It's like stepping into a nostalgia-fueled dreamworld 
.
.
! I'm low-key hoping it's gonna be as lit as a '90s time capsule revival party 
.
and did u know theyll have goody bags filled with exhibitor samples on sunday?! that sounds like so much fun 
its also really awesome that theyll be featuring made in america brands just in time for americas 250th birthday 
i hope retailers are taking advantage of the free admission, cuz itll be sick to see all those amazing products on display 
. It's cool that they're doing so many giveaways and stuff to celebrate 30 years, must be nice for the exhibitors too. Think it'll be more fun for me than for my coworkers tho 
. We're always more about the networking side of things whereas I'm all about browsing through the different stalls and grabbing some sweet deals 
show is still connecting buyers with fresh products & emerging brands 
gotta love how they're bringing people together & making sure every attendee feels welcome 
200 exhibitors from all over showing off their wares 
. Maybe I'll just have to splurge and attend myself lol 
. Anyone else excited about this milestone anniversary? 
also love that they're highlighting made in america brands - gotta support our own artisans and small businesses 
can't wait to see what kinda innovative products they have at the show this year! 
... like what even is the point of that cake and champagne toast on Sunday? Are they really gonna make it through 3 whole hours without anyone getting bored outta their minds? 
And don't even get me started on the goody bags... who needs more free junk?! 
its been 30 yrs and they're still bringin all the brands & trends together, gotta love that! and its not just about buyin stuff, its about meetin people who share ur passion for gifts & decor, so if u r a retailer or just a buyer, u gotta check it out 
It's like they're inviting the whole world to come together and shop 'til they drop! 
. Still, it's awesome to see all these exhibitors comin' together to celebrate their craft and innovation 
I'm super hyped for the Philadelphia Gift Show's 30-year milestone celebration 
it's gonna be EPIC 
Just thinking about all those people coming together to celebrate 30 years of buying and selling stuff is actually pretty cool. I mean, it's not every day you see a whole bunch of exhibitors and buyers getting together to share ideas and make some deals. It's like one big, long shopping spree for the whole Mid-Atlantic region 
30 years is a huge milestone for the Philadelphia Gift Show! I'm excited to see all the new and innovative brands showcasing their stuff 
. But, I wish they'd provide more info about the exhibitors, like who some of the big brands are attending or what kind of exclusive products they'll be showing off
