When We Started
In 1930 we opened the Ohio State Gift Show with a mission of providing a safe, convenient, inexpensive, bi-annual marketplace where wholesale buyers from the region could place orders with reps and find new sources for products that set them apart from the rest.

The March and August shows were called the Ohio State Gift Show in those days. Later, we added a January market called the Columbus Wholesale-To-Go Show and our "Last Minute Holiday Buying" Show in November. Through the years, our product offerings and manufacturer base focused on handcrafted giftware, decorative accessories and furniture for home and garden; and thus, the Shows became known in the industry as Offinger's Handcrafted Marketplaces.

Today
Offinger's Handcrafted Marketplaces continue to provide safe, convenient and inexpensive trade shows with rich collections of handmade, limited-production, traditional crafts, gifts, home furnishings, furniture and home accents - works not found at other markets. You'll find up-and-coming new sources that will set you apart from your competitors. You'll also meet the country's top producers of folk art, rustic primitives, museum-quality replicas, handmade country collectibles, as well as one-of-a-kind, contemporary works of art.

And most importantly, as a wholesale buyer or supplier, do business the way you want to - take immediate delivery (cash & carry) or place orders.

Come and "meet the makers." Learn first-hand about their work. Find fresh new products and use our FREE Shop and Drop Area to store your cash & carry purchases.

Bring wheeled carts and large truck/trailer to transport your products. Unload and load your vehicles yourselves, handling your own products without being forced to hire expensive union labor. And as always, we promise to provide the personal service and attention you've come to expect when you attend our marketplaces. That means someone will always be there to answer your questions in a timely and friendly manner.

Make your plans now to participate in Offinger's Handcrafted Marketplaces. You'll find we are dedicated to our founding commitment - to provide the most enjoyable trade show shopping experience possible.
