Buyer FAQ

Registration and attendance are FREE to qualified buyers at the Toronto Gift + Home Market.

If you attended our Fall 2025 and/or our Spring 2026 show(s), you are automatically registered to attend our upcoming market and are only required to verify your profile information is current, such as mailing address, email, and phone number. Registration will commence in mid-May.

To register your company, please visit our REGISTRATION page for more information.

Once you’ve registered your company and it has been verified in our database, you will be sent an email from Conexsys Registration with your attendance registration confirmation to our show that has the link to your downloadable print-at-home badge.

Badge holders will be available at the show entrances.

If you can’t print your badge at home, no worries — you will be able to have it printed onsite. Just bring photo ID!

It is mandatory to wear your badge on the show floor at all times.

Due to the fluctuations of Canada Post’s services, badges will no longer be mailed.

It’s simple. At the Canadian Gift Association, protecting your business is our business! Since this a trade-only event, all attendees must qualify to attend by providing business and personal ID. Exhibitors and visitors to our events make a substantial investment in the CanGift Markets. By asking you to provide documentation identifying you as a retailer, and not a member of the public, we are maintaining the integrity of your business while ensuring exhibitors meet their most important customer — you.

Two forms of acceptable identification must be submitted for each new Buyer – one form of Company, and one form of Buyer identification.

Company – Copy of a Business license/Registration/Number (provincial/municipal)

Buyer : 

• Employee ID card, or company insurance card identifying applicant with personal information blocked out *
• Company credit card identifying applicant and company, with personal information blocked out *
• Copy of T-4 or W-2 form (must be imprinted, no handwritten forms are accepted) with personal information blocked out *
• Company cancelled payroll cheque copied on both sides, or a copy of a payroll printout with personal information blocked out.*

*i.e., Bank account numbers, SIN, personal address, personal phone or fax number.

Please note, digital versions are accepted.

If your Company is already registered with the Canadian Gift Association, then just one form of Buyer identification that shows your affiliation to the registered Company is required.

Every business should keep records of their employees, whether full or part-time. You should be able to issue some official document confirming an individual’s employment. If you cannot provide any documentation, this person cannot be registered to attend the show.
