Melbour Gift Fair is taking place from 30th July - 3rd August and it's the first time in 2 years that it's been able to take place following COVID. The Melbourne Gift Fair is the main annual event where hundreds of small business traders (who have been badly impacted by COVID) come together and have the opportunity to sell their products to the larger companies. This Fair sets the trends for what we see in terms of gifts and homewares in the stores for the following year across Australia. We would line up a chat with someone from the gift fair who can talk about how this impacts small businesses across Australia or a small business trader themselves.

Wayne Castle, the CEO of Australian Gift and Homewares Association, joined us to give us the info, share the news and tell of the benefits to the community, now they're back in town.
