We’re past Black Friday and Cyber Monda but there are still gifts to get so here are some ideas for in person and on line shopping.
In Person
The “One of a Kind Holiday Show is at The Mart this weekend from Thursday through Sunday. The show, which returns in late spring, brings back the fun of shopping without the stress.
There are more than 500 artists (think major art fair plus) that includes clever, hand-crafted, cooking utensils and gorgeous glass items. But it also has food booths of candy, spices and other delectables. Hours: Dec. 7-9, 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Dec. 10 – 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
For tickets and more information call 800-677Mart or see Attend | One of a Kind Show (oneofakindshowchicago.com)
The Mart is at the Chicago River between Orleans and Wells Streets. The show is on the 7th Floor.
