The giftware industry has generated billions in online retail sales, according to a research report from Unity Marketing. "Today's gifts market is experiencing dynamic growth as consumers buy more gifts and home decorative products for themselves, as a personal reward,'' says Pam Danziger, president of Unity Marketing.

“Products which have a personal, emotional link to the consumer, such as collectibles or gifts based upon licensed properties or which appeal to multiple senses, including sight, sound, scent, are in demand as consumers seek to make their homes more comfortable and comforting,'' notes Danziger. Unity Marketing predicts a positive future on the Internet for the gifts and the home decorative market for the next several years.
   
"A significant consumer trend that will play out in the gifts as well as many other consumer product categories will be a reaction towards our increasingly technology-driven culture. As their lives become more 'virtual' and dependent upon computers and technology, consumers will seek out gifts and decorative products which will help ground them in the 'real' world. The new touchstone for consumer marketers is to make their products more 'REAL,' more concrete, more solid, more grounded in reality," Danziger commented.

The best-selling segment in the giftware industry was Home Decorative Accessories.
Among the fastest growing categories in the Home Decorative Accessories segment were Frames, Tabletop gifts, Vases/Urns/Pots and Decorative Boxes and Tins. Candles, the dominant category in the segment, also posted gains.

More top billion-dollar sellers included consumer electronics, tools, DVD, music, toys, arts, crafts, jewelry, gift baskets and flowers which helped many internet gift shops succeed online.
  
    
Stationery, Greeting Cards, and Paper Products was the second largest segment of the giftware market. While greeting card sales were slow, growth in the category was fueled by Social Stationery, and Gift Bags and Wrap.

"This segment is being strongly impacted by the Internet, with more and more Web sites offering virtual greeting cards that can be electronically mailed at a fraction of the cost of a paper card," said Danziger. "At the same time, social stationery is on the rise as consumers start to swing back to communicating with friends and family once again the old-fashioned way -- on paper, even if a personal computer was used to write and print the letter," she continued.

The General Gifts segment achieved billion in sales. Seasonal Decorations, the smallest category in the giftware industry, posted the high gains as well. While Christmas Decor still dominates the category, Halloween Decor was the fastest-growing segment.

Commenting on the importance of gift shopping to the U.S. economy, Lee Eisenberg in his book Shoptimism: Why the American Consumer Will Keep on Buying No Matter What writes: "The gifts we give, to others or to ourselves, add up to one enormous gift to the Sell Side. Each of us, on average, spends a couple of thousand dollars a year on gifts, roughly half of it during the 'Hard Eight,' that is, the eight-week holiday shopping season."
