The Toronto Gift + Home Market

 The Toronto Gift + Home Market (often called the Toronto Gift Fair or CanGift) is one of Canada’s largest wholesale trade shows for gifts, home décor, fashion, and lifestyle products. Organized by the Canadian Gift & Tableware Association, it takes place annually in Toronto at the Toronto Congress Centre with two major sessions: a Spring Market and a Fall Market.

  The event offers a broad product mix—Canadian-made goods, souvenirs, handmade items; housewares and kitchenware; home décor; fashion; toys; gourmet food; jewellery; and general gifting items. Exhibitors range from large established brands to small artisan designers and creative businesses, giving buyers a wide variety of unique and specialty options.

  In terms of scale, the market typically hosts around 2,500 exhibitors and attracts approximately 25,000 professional buyers and visitors. Attendees include gift retailers, home décor shops, lifestyle brands, and wholesale distributors. It’s an excellent opportunity not just for sourcing new products, but also for catching industry trends, building partnerships, and expanding distribution channels.

  Regarding the schedule for 2026, the Spring edition will take place from January 25 to January 29, 2026 at the Toronto Congress Centre; the Fall edition is scheduled for August 9 to August 12, 2026 at the same venue (North building). This timeline gives both exhibitors and buyers ample time to prepare -- for product development, logistics, marketing, and travel planning.

  Looking ahead, Toronto Gift + Home Market is more than a sourcing event—it serves as an incubator of innovation and trend-setting. With growing demand for originality in design, sustainability, handmade goods, and local production, this fair is increasingly where those values converge. For brands and retailers aiming to break into the Canadian market or strengthen their presence in North America, the 2026 shows promise significant opportunities and exposure.
