Yes, it’s true — CanGift is turning 50!

In March 2025, CanGift proudly launched its brand-new show in the Atlantic Provinces. This year, we’re teaming up with the Craft East Buyers’ Expo, making us not only the newest gift, home & lifestyle show in the region, but also the largest. Now that’s worth celebrating!

Since 1976, CanGift has been the voice of Canada’s gift, home & lifestyle industry connecting suppliers and retailers, and building a community that’s stronger together.

What began 50 years ago has grown into a dynamic Association representing hundreds of suppliers and tens of thousands of retailers. Along the way, we’ve built a truly national platform: from the longstanding Toronto Gift + Home Market to Western Canada’s much-loved regional event in Edmonton, Alberta. Together, these stages give our industry a one-of-a-kind opportunity to showcase products, spot trends, and spark those all-important face-to-face connections.

It’s time to celebrate these incredible milestones. Stay tuned as the party’s just getting started, and there are exciting surprises ahead!

Embracing our rich history. Looking to the future!
