Abbey Press has spotlighted several new products it presented at the International Christian Retail Show (ICRS) in Orlando, Fla., July 13-17.

For those unable to be at the event, Sue Kloeck, national sales director for Abbey Press, led a "virtual tour" video walk-through of the gift company's booth, highlighting some popular items from its "Footprints" and "Serenity" lines and extending the ICRS offer to viewers.

Products she showed included Footprints in the Sand canvas print that features contemporary colors, a One Day at a Time print and prayer card as well as the I Said a Prayer canvas print and butterfly pin from the "Comfort Center" line.

Besides spotlighting items from the company's "Memorial" line such as a candle, tea light devotional, photo frame, cross, greeting and prayer cards, Kloeck showed a new line called "Potters Mugs and Faith Unfolding"— a small gift box that unfolds into a cross.

From Abbey Press' "Professional Items" line, she showed EMT and Nurse travel mugs as well as the In Loving Memory of a True Hero photo frames. "Everyone has known of a fire department or a police department that has lost someone," Kloeck said. "These are great family gifts."

Abbey Press' "virtual tour" is one of almost a dozen special video presentations from ICRS exhibitors, to give retailers and others who were not at the show a quick overview of what they missed and extending show specials and offers.
