We head out to merchandise and consumer shows on a regular basis to see what\u2019s trending in the market and what manufacturers are getting ready for the coming season.\u00a0 One of our favorite shows is the Rocky Mountain Gift Show, not only because it\u2019s local, but also because of the broad cross spectrum of the retail market that it attracts.<\/p>\n

Rocky Mountain Gift Show<\/p><\/div>\n

The Rocky Mountain Gift Show brings together retail, tourism, jewelry, gift markets, home goods, apparel and many other specialty niches.\u00a0 The fare ranges from things you\u2019re afraid to touch to things you\u2019re afraid to put down.\u00a0 And that\u2019s really the excitement of the market.\u00a0 Not everyone wants taxidermied still life or human-sized animatronic manikins, but there\u2019s also plenty of cute and cuddly that spans the show, as well as down to Earth and functional.<\/p>\n

Saturday night the show hosts a banquet for all buyers and exhibitors, showcasing the fashions for the coming season.<\/p>\n

The show is five days long.\u00a0 It can probably stand to be a few days longer.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to hit all of the vendors in this short a time. \u00a0We’ll show off some of the cool stuff we’ve seen in the next few days.<\/p>\n
