Holiday season is coming up which means now is a great time to get a head start on your holiday shopping! Everyone knows who chaotic and out of control holiday shopping can be when you wait until the last minute. The store shelves become disheveled and barren, the lines to checkout are always incredibly long and you feel more pressure and stress being in the situation because you’re cutting it so close to the date. This year save yourself the stress and start your holiday shopping early at a November craft fair!

Craft fairs are wonderful places to leisurely browse for unique and handmade holiday gifts. Local vendors from all over the Island gather to showcase their passions and hard-earned work. It really is a great way to support local businesses and local Long Island residents. Plus, if you’re looking for something really unique and one of a kind to get for your loved one there’s no better place to look than a craft fair.
