Ampersanders setting up the booth. The ultimate team building exercise. We laugh, we cry, we get covered in cardboard dust.

…then, finally, this:

The Toronto Gift Fair runs January 31 – February 4.

Come visit your friendly Ampersand rep at Toronto Congress Centre North, Hall 11, Booth #11461 — we have some awesome new lines, amazing new products, and fantastic show specials!
