There is no activity more excruciating than wearily staggering through a mall and having your senses overloaded with commerce, shrieking toddlers and animatronic singing reindeer.
Escape the trauma of the mall by hitting this array of arts and crafts fairs, all rife with unique handmade items your family won’t be able to price-check on the Pottery Barn website. You can wander around with sweet, sweet breathing room and browse through artisan-made clothing, funky jewelry, silk-screened shirts and perhaps even a hand-knitted sweater for your sister’s cat. (Or you. We won’t tell.)
