ABOUT THE FAIR
CADEAUX in Leipzig is far more than a conventional trade fair. It serves as a central hub for gift and home trends in central Germany and is a key meeting point for professionals seeking stylish product presentations, high-quality assortments, and innovative ideas. The name "CADEAUX" – derived from the French word for "gifts" – symbolises the wide range of tasteful and original products showcased twice a year, in March and September, at the Leipzig Exhibition Centre.
Organised by Leipziger Messe GmbH, CADEAUX is exclusively tailored to industry professionals. Retailers, buyers and decision-makers from sectors such as floristry, home accessories, kitchen and tableware, stationery, wellness, beauty, arts and crafts, and the souvenir trade use the fair to spot upcoming trends early, network with peers, and plan their assortments strategically.
The concept behind the fair is clearly defined and precisely aligned with the needs of the retail trade. It features elegant kitchen and dining products, decorative and gourmet gift ideas, high-quality home textiles, and both traditional and contemporary handcrafted items – with a special focus on artisan goods from the Erzgebirge region. These crafts enjoy a prominent platform at CADEAUX, honouring a cultural heritage of Saxony that is appreciated far beyond regional borders.
The product range is complemented by floristry supplies, stationery, creative and DIY materials, beauty and personal care products, promotional items, and a wide array of decorative home accessories. The fair provides a professional stage for exhibitors from across Germany and beyond to present durable goods, current lifestyle trends, and functional everyday design.
CADEAUX impresses with its product diversity and thoughtful presentation. Each category is given the appropriate space, offering visitors a practical and inspiring overview of emerging trends. In addition to the high quality of exhibitors, trade visitors particularly value the opportunity for in-depth dialogue, targeted trend insight, and strategic guidance tailored to the retail sector.
As a host city, Leipzig offers ideal conditions: a modern exhibition infrastructure, a central location, and excellent accessibility – just six minutes from the main railway station and seven minutes from the airport. Combined with its rich cultural and historical backdrop, these features make CADEAUX especially attractive to trade visitors from across Germany and the wider European region.
With its clear focus, unique thematic mix and firmly established location in one of Germany’s most dynamic cities, CADEAUX Leipzig stands out as an essential event for the industry – informative, inspiring and offering real added value for all involved.
The CADEAUX will take place on 3 days from Saturday, 05. September to Monday, 07. September 2026 in Leipzig.
