Who else is freaking out that Christmas is just a few weeks away? Not just me, right? I’m mainly stressed because I haven’t started gift shopping yet and I don’t even know where to start. I’ve tried going to the mall a few times to check out sales but at some point, I start to see the same things everywhere. Luckily, there are tons of bazaars and markets popping up until the end of December. A lot of these events have local tenants from different categories like fashion, food, homeware, and more. If you want to support local while getting your shopping list done, visit these upcoming events.
