What's Hot: Right now, it's all about smart, multifunctional
sustainability, shared Libby Llanso of Seedlings. " Think reduce,
reuse, upcycle [and] products that have a long life and/or are
multipurpose. Our essential oil lotion candles fit this vibe.
[They're] in a recycled glass container, have a crystal that
corresponds with its scent, turn into lotion after each burn and
come with a trivet that doubles as a coaster! "
Lauren Brekke, vice president of merchandise at Mud Pie,
sees the use of natural stone, like marble and travertine, as well
the ever-versatile black and white trending up. " Our collection
of black-and-white checked serveware doesn't lean too modern
or too traditional - it fits within many design aesthetics. "
Value and meaning are more important than ever, underlined
Annie McCall, national sales manager for Papersalt & Salty,
by Papersalt. " That can still lead to 'impulse buys' on items
like ours - when they make you laugh or smile and follow the
trend patterns the end consumer is already surrounded with.
That's where Salty comes in. Trend, humor, sass, sparkle and
consumable giftables. Take items we know turn over quickly
for our retailers - and fill them with bold, eye-catching designs
and phrases or quotes that fit every personality type and age. "
Tried & True: Foil and neutrals endure, underscored Brekke.
" Fresh interpretations of classic tones evolve from season-toseason,
but a neutral color story will always be in vogue. "
Also Look for: Conversely, more color! While acknowledging
that neutrals remain strong, Llanso sees more people being
bold and daring by adding color into their lives. " People are
using wallpaper again, painting their bathrooms cobalt blue
and adorning their couches with red accent pillows. "
Designer Quote: " Though I may not have 'liked it' at
first, I am inspired by the power of social media and the
control both Gen Z and millennials have on our industry.
And while you can never count out Gen X or baby boomers
(they're huge drivers of our industry as well), it's easy to see
most of us are adapting to social media, especially TikTok. "
