My official favorite find at NYIGF was an awesome Australian stationery studio called Lox + Savvy.  Designer Lisa Loxley creates super fun stationery, note pads, wrapping paper sheets, paper chains, and paper pockets (perfect for scrapbooking) – all in bright colors and bold, graphic patterns:
Another favorite find from this year’s show came from the handmade section – Gauge NYC, a metal crafting shop located in Brooklyn, New York and founded by Paul Smotrys.  Gauge NYC creates beautiful jewelry and decorative metal letters:
I love these modern alphabet necklaces – you can even layer two on the same chain!
Paul recently began experimenting with these beautiful quotes made from memory wire that can stick directly into a wall or surface like push pins. Â Wouldn’t these be amazing in an office or child’s bedroom?
I’m a huge fan of the ceramic and stationery collections from Bailey Doesn’t Bark, and it was wonderful to see it all in person at NYIGF!  The letterpress four seasons and heart notecards are still among my all-time favorites:
I loved the entire kid-focused collection from Florida-based Wee Gallery – from animal flash cards to letterpress art prints to wall decals.  I also love that they think beyond traditional farm animals, incorporating insects and marine animals into their stamp sets, wall decals, and art cards:
LOVE the stamp sets – there’s even a safari edition!
Gorgeous limited edition letterpress prints!
That’s it for me from NYIGF, at least until the January show! Â Which ones were your favorites from this summer’s show?

loved your roundups, nole! such good photos, too!
These are great!!!
love the necklace but can’t find it on their shop? where can i find it, and what is the price?
Hi Cécile – you might need to be patient in waiting for some of the new items to appear in each individual shop, since many designers use the trade shows to debut new products that aren’t available for retail sale just yet. You can also contact Paul directly through his etsy shop if you have any questions about availability and price information.
Thanks for posting such great shots of the National Stationery Show and now the New York International Gift Fair! For those of us who can’t make it, you give little peeks of what it was like. So much fun!!
i would totally go bonkers in this fair! such a shame nothing like this exists here in Manila 🙁
I lust love these styles.
I really LOVED the quotes made of memory wire! It would be such a neat idea to have my mission statement or tag line displayed, so when customers come into my studio they are reminded of my determination to see their story told!
