Gifts & Decorative Accessories has been celebrating retail excellence since 1951 with its Retailer Excellence Awards, and the tradition will continue with our 2023 award ceremony!

This year we are excited to celebrate our winners at The Southside Music Hall at Gilley’s Dallas, on June 21, 2023, in conjunction with the Dallas Total Home & Gift Market!

Registration is now open; reserve your spot at the table today!

We hope you’ll join us to celebrate the national retail finalists, regional sales representatives of the year, and top manufacturers of the year at our celebratory gala. The festive evening will include a strolling dinner with an open bar and networking and a seated awards ceremony with dessert. Winners will be announced during the awards presentation. There will also be live music. More details on the 2023 REA gala are below:
