Gifts is one of those catch-all categories that encompass a wide range of merchandise that may or may not be purchased as a gift
As you might expect, the companies on the list below sell a variety of products, from low-end novelties (Oriental Trading Co. and Harriet Carter) to high-ticket jewelry and tabletop items (Tiffany & Co. and Ross-Simons).

Blyth is another multititle mailer; it includes As We Change, Exposures, Miles Kimball and Walter Drake.
