HOW TO SHOP GIFT + HOME
Walk Every Aisle
Keep your eyes open! Take notes on which items and brands stand out to you. Imagine your customer and look for items that will draw them into your store.
Plan Ahead
Use the ASD Mobile App to search and explore brands before the show. Save your favorites, preview products, find private label offerings, and view show specials to maximize your time in this neighborhood.
Discover NEW Brands
Each neighborhood features brands that are new to the show, offering new distribution and revenue potential. Look for “NEW” floor stickers in every neighborhood to easily spot these opportunities or search the ASD Mobile App.
Look For Best Sellers
Ask about a brand’s new and best-selling items to see what’s trending. Best sellers are a great way to test a new item or introduce a new category.
Bring The Outdoors In
Nature meets modern living in the world of biophilic design. As more shoppers are bringing the outdoors in, indoor-friendly outdoor items can transform not only your bottom line, but your customer’s home into a tranquil oasis.
Get The Look For Less
From stationery and school supplies to candles and home décor, you can find sought-after trends for a fraction of the price. Whether you are brick-and-mortar or e-commerce, meet the needs of your evolving customer with affordable products that fly off the shelves.
Celebrate
All Year
Shop with special occasions and holidays in mind. Most customers share a common shopping habit; they purchase something for Mother’s Day, for their boss, for an anniversary, a birthday, or a wedding. Personalize items to create a more meaningful connection that can impact your shoppers and your sales. TOY Shop for playful additions including games, toys, and novelty items.

“Dupe”, short for duplicates, is a less-expensive alternative to a high-end item and is one of the latest trends in the home market. Dupes range from Costco-brand Cloud Sofa look-alikes to West Elm chandeliers, that take the place of the more costly Restoration Hardware fixtures. Gen-Z just can’t get enough of the “get the look for less” mentality. Just take a look at the hashtag on TikTok which has 2.4 billion results.
