Top Trends of the 2009 Atlanta Gift Market

The Polka Dots Party Girls just got back from our annual trip to the Atlanta Gift Show and here's the scoop on the trends we saw:

1. Eco Style - from monogrammed coffee tumblers and stainless steel water bottles in preppy colors, to hot patterns on recycled materials, grocery and wine totes... going green has never been so stylish!

2. Initials & Monograms - Not surprisingly, personalized gifts are still hotter than ever! We saw initials and monograms on everything from mouse pads to bag tags. If it wasn't moving, it was monogrammed.

3. Giraffe Print - Move over cheetah. Step aside zebra. There's a new animal print on the scene and she's sleek and lean and sporting her signature markings in every color, from preppy brights to earth tones. On paper and fabric, we could not escape from the Market Jungle without taking notice! We've already added it to our line-up of monogrammed gifts!

So get shopping and stay tuned for more new product news...
This Party Girl is signing off to pick up her Mini-Dots!
