I don't think anyone is going to give away their latest good ideas. 

I was involved in giftware many years ago and as you are probably aware the giftware fairs are normally huge.

We were involved in one in Sydney and one in Melbourne, traditionally around Aug-Sept so stores could order stock for xmas 1st November delivery.

From memory there were some smaller fairs around Feb.

You could find out when and where some of these fairs are on, perhaps contact the Giftware Association which we used to be active members of. Don't know if it still runs.

Otherwise perhaps the publishers of the Giftguide Australia has all the calender dates around Aus.

If anything this trail might lead to other contacts or ideas.
