Yes- family, good will and glad tidings are what makes Christmas such a happy time for most people. But shopping (and LOTS of it) is definitely a contender in what makes the Holidays such an adventure to say the least. From Black Friday ordeals to the right before Christmas sales, it’s safe to assume that we are constantly shopping for a solid MONTH for the perfect gift for friends, family and colleagues. (The exception being those who are EXTREMELY proactive and start shopping in the Spring – geniuses, really. Much can be learned.)

But for the rest of us who are still scouring the web, hunting down deals, or just trying to find SOMETHING for that one person… maybe ditch the conventional shopping locales and hit up a holiday indie arts and craft fair! State of Unique is this weekend! And then will be the Renegade Craft Fair the following weekend!

Unique LA (now called State of Unique) is a packed smorgasbord of vendors and artists, from bath & beauty to clothing to edibles, this show has got it ALL!
And what’s unique (pun intended) about this show is that it will all be vendors who produce their goods right here in the US! So get up, get out and show your support this weekend!

BUT

If, for whatever reason, you can’t make it THIS weekend, try this one the following weekend:
Another HUGE sprawl of vendors at the Los Angeles State Historic Park with goods including sweets, jewelry, stationary, clothing and much much more!

With this amazing Southern California “winter” weather, a nice day out in the park will be lovely. So grab your friends, family, dog, baby… and get to some shopping!

Headed out of town for a bit? Why not check on the Indie Show List and see if there are any shows going on where you’re headed off to?

Happy Shopping!
