From April 28 to May 1, 2005, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre was packed with a stunning array of high quality giftware as the reputed Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair 2005 marked its 20th anniversary.

Dating back to the time when Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair was organized as a combined show with the Hong Kong Houseware Fair, this large-scale trade event was highly recognized by worldwide buyers for its wide variety of choices at excellent quality and value pricing. Today, the fair has become the number one show of its kind in Asia and the world's third largest.

Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair 2005 set another record with over 3,500 exhibitors from 34 countries and regions in attendance. There were also 15 pavilions representing the Hong Kong Exporters' Association, Australia, Chinese mainland, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and United Kingdom. The fair featured a wide spectrum of gift items ranging from jewellery, watches & clocks, stationery, party & X'mas decorations, etc.

The Silverware Section has returned in an expanded scale with around 40 exhibitors from Hong Kong and Spain, which gathered a vast array of silver products ranging from photo frames and albums, candle holders, key chains, jewellery boxes, card holders, stationery, tableware, figurines and miniatures, bookmarks, tabletop accessories, cocktail sets to a variety of ornaments and gift items.

The Hall of Fine Designs displayed exclusive, high-end gifts and premium ideas from 50 leading designers and companies. With today's market demanding ever-higher quality and more innovative products, the elegant enclave, located in Hall 1C, was once again a focal point of attention.

Apart from the multifarious array of products on offer, the Trade Development Council has also organized value-added seminars and special events, including seminars on 'Successful Receivables Management for SMEs', 'Implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility for Organisation' and 'How to Get Assistance from Hong Kong Customs to Combat Counterfeiting'.
