More Fresh Finds from the National Stationery Show

Right now I'm at ACRE, but I'm not done with all the great products I found at the National Stationery Show, so here are five more that are really fun:

Carved Solutions
A fantastic line of engraved candles, soaps and towels. And they offer a blind drop ship program, so your customers will never see their information. They also sell the only round monogrammed candle in the market and their wholesale price points are very reasonable and the quality is terrific. The nice thing about the line is you only need to stock one sample of everything, thereby eliminating the need to have heavy quantities in order to fill your display.

Iota
Iota just released four patterned aprons and what I love about this line is twofold: the patterns are very unique and bold, and the packaging is wonderful. I think it will do very well for the holiday season. Plus I love the display she put together at the show—I hope you use it for inspiration in your store.

Journals Unlimited
They just launched two adorable new journals at the show, "Out of the Mouths of Babes" and "Kid Stuff—My First Journal." A great addition for the baby/kid department in your store, and a lovely holiday gift for moms. As a mother myself, I kept wanting to write down the funny stuff my daughter was saying but never did. Every mother should own an "Out of the Mouths of Babes" journal—I predict this product will be a very strong seller!

Wellspring
Wellspring just launched a new line at the show called "Wellspring of Colour," and it's a bit of a different direction for them. I think the line is very cute for home office and I love the coordinating notepads and magnets, and the price points are great. Again, another line that will display well.

CR Gibson
CR Gibson had quite a few new lines at the show and their adorable new gift holders were voted "Best New Product" at the show. I also fell in love with their travel journals—a great stocking stuffer, or the perfect item to stock if your store is in a tourist area.
