NZ Gift & Homeware Fairs is a wholesale trade event for gift and homeware brands, held at the Auckland Showgrounds at 217 Green Lane West in Epsom. Its website calls it New Zealand's largest retail trade event. The fairs bring together wholesale brands and retail buyers, and the website says retail professionals can attend for free. The Spring Gift Fair in 2026 ran from 30 August to 1 September at the Auckland Showgrounds, with more than 300 exhibitors. Recent news from the organiser lists the next fairs as the Winter Fair on 13 and 14 June 2027 at the Air Force Museum of New Zealand in Christchurch, and the Spring Fair on 29 to 31 August 2027 at the Auckland Showgrounds.
Reviewers say the 2026 gift fair was a success, with 140 exhibitors and a wide range of stalls. One group from the far north visited for the day, and found it worthwhile, meeting the owners and sales teams. Another reviewer says their emails about exhibiting went unanswered for months, and only got a reply long after they wrote.
