NEW YORK - At the summer edition of the bi-annual New York International Gift Fair this month, there will be several new additions. Among them will be the integration of the Gourmet Housewares Show into NYIGF, new product-focused "neighborhoods" in several divisions and continued refinement of existing categories.
     Also in store is the return of NY Newest, which will see an influx of some 200 new companies from 17 countries debuting new gift, home and lifestyle products, and a repositioned Handmades section that presents two collections of handcrafted merchandise - Handmade Designer Maker and Handmade Global.
     At left, the Union Jack Pillow is a new addition to Soft-line Home Fashions Travel Collection. The collection is made of organic jute and is available in feather down.
