The 2026 market season has officially begun, as Dallas Market wholesalers brought a new wave of creativity and innovation to buyers Jan. 7-13.

In fact, Dallas Market Center announced its Total Home & Gift Market was one of the best-attended January show in years.

The Gift Shop® Plus team was also in attendance, with radars up for new takes on design, iconography and emerging product narratives shaping the season ahead. Here we present some fresh, on-trend finds from the market floors (special recognition award goes to: mahjong!).
