I'm back in the office after five days at the Atlanta Gift Show. My feet are tired and worn (I have several blisters), my notebook is filled with new products and this year's show was fantastic. And not just for us… several retailers told me they found new products and placed loads of orders.

So I'll be posting all week about neat, trendy and hip products from the show. Today's were all spotted in the One Coast Showroom:

1. Beatriz Ball… contemporary handmade tabletop items. Many of her pieces were inspired by nature and cleanly designed. I loved that the pieces can go from the refrigerator to the oven to the table. The artist herself (Beatriz Ball) is pictured.
   
   
   

2. Mud Pie… Known mostly for their pet collection line, they are branching out to include a wonderful tabletop Christmas collection and a line of monogrammed (with a single initial) wine bags.
   
   
   
   
   

3. Abbott… Great home entertainment collection. What impressed me the most was the value pricing and wonderful quality. They have a very wide line of products, so it's definitely worth checking out.
   
   
   

4. Danielson Designs–They have created a very nice line of signs. The newest product is a line called Small Talk. The signs retail for just under $10, and the POP is very well done. Great impulse item for any gift store.

Be sure to come back all week to see products you might have missed at the show. After all, it's almost impossible to visit all 10,000 vendors that were there!
