Labelled ‘the season’s essential gift and homewares trade exhibition’, the AGHA Melbourne Gift Fair is back 31 July – 4 August. With so many events been cancelled due to Covid-19 (including the Sydney version of the Gift Fair), we’re crossing fingers and toes that we will get to see this one live in action.

The Melbourne Gift Fair, held at the beautiful Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre, is set to welcome thousands of products and big brands covering everything from homewares, gifts, fashion, jewellery, accessories, outdoor living, hospitality, kids and toys and much more.

For us design-aholics, this is the perfect place to see, touch and discover new product ranges. Not only that, but the fair will also feature $10k giveaways, the return of Design Life and the dedicated Australian Made pavilion which is partnering with the Australian Made Campaign.

While some of our favourites are returning to the fair, this year’s Melbourne Gift Fair is also an exciting opportunity to discover a host of new exhibitors, including IS ALBI (Albi and Independent Studios), Splosh, D.W.B.H, Annabelle Trends, The Russell Collection, The Linen Press, Villa Mondo, Bobangles, JMC Floral, Asian tide and Tamboril.

Urban Road

If you’ve been following us for a while, you’ll know how much we love a good art print. We believe art completes a space – and Urban Road provides a huge variety of trendy and beautiful art prints at an affordable price. We’re keen to see what they bring to the fair for the first time this year.

DWBH

Designed in Australia, DWBH (Don’t Worry Be Happy), specialises in homewares that run the style gamut from bohemian décor to modern rustic and eclectic charm. The Dahlia furniture range, embellished with pretty hand carved blooms, is particularly swoon-worthy.

Asian Tide

Asian Tide is a locally owned and operated company whose mission is to supply their customers with the most unique pieces of furniture. They source unusual and interesting furniture that won’t leave a hole in your pocket. Their Chinese antiques collection is definitely one to check out, and we hope they bring some of it along to the fair to show off.
