Sources, opened its fall
2013 series of consumer goods shows on 19th October. The four co-located
events, China Sourcing Fairs: Baby & Children’s Products, Christmas & Seasonal Products, Gifts & Premiums, and Home Products, were held at the AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE) until 22nd October.
Under the theme “Lifestyle”,
the focuses of the shows were innovation, eco-friendliness and
social-compliance. Products were showcased under the three main areas of:
decorating, living and giving. The successful theme of “Modern Dining” in the
previous edition held in spring prompted Global Sources to launch the “Lifestyle”
products showcase, which featured 240 products from in-demand suppliers.

consumers always strive for a better quality of life and our Fairs are renowned
