We are attending the 2011 New York Toy Fair that takes place at the Javits Convention Center in New York City in February. It’s a mecca for toy buyers and manufacturers, but for the inventor, it’s a chance to show our products/prototypes and shake hands. Generally, everybody we want to see is under one roof and this is our chance to show our innovations to them. Half the fun is getting to check out the creative booths and what new toys will be on every kid’s Christmas list this year.
January is an extra busy time for Gigglicious. We are getting prototypes finished and presentations finalized so we can be ready to show it all at NYTF. Ryan is putting in extra hours not only for Toy Fair, but other projects for a client. I’ve been working on finalizing presentations, making appointments, and hunting for comfy walking shoes. (I had some sore feet issues last year because of all the walking we did!) Despite all the extra time we put into our days right now, this is always a really fun time for us in the studio. We look forward to the trip, the friends we’ll see, and the chance to show people how creative we are!
