Admission
Reed Gift Fairs are trade only events for registered buyers in the gift and homewares industry. GIC cards have now expired and are no longer able to be used. Registration is annually and badges will be emailed two weeks prior to the event.

All individuals must provide their business ABN for entry into the event and are required to provide additional proof of business information if requested. Any non-retail trade registrations will be removed at our discretion in order to maintain a quality business environment.

Bags & Trolleys
It is our policy that all oversized suitcase and trolleys are not permitted onto the show floor. Free cloakroom facilities are available to store any bags beyond the size of a carry on item. 

We will be policing this closely in order to improve the quality of the buying environment we provide. 

Our updated policy now bans ALL trolleys and suitcases over all days of the Fair irrespective of size.

We have expanded the size of the cloakroom to offer a better service onsite and create a safer exhibition floor.

Personal Shopping
There is no personal shopping allowed at Reed Gift Fairs. We are a strictly a trade event only and our updated bags & luggage policy goes toward making sure the fairs remain a professional environment. 

Exhibitors are reminded that cash sales for legitimate retail purchases are only to be conducted on the last hour of the final day.

Please note no stock can be removed from the fair until 2pm on the final day – this is to maintain the trade environment and avoid potential theft.

Buyer Guests
Registered buyers are welcome to bring one non-industry guest each day, excluding the final day. Buyers Guest tickets can be purchased at $50 per day from Customer Service. All legitimate trade are recommended to register to avoid unnecessary  costs.
