The amaz­ing Craft 2.0 is hap­pen­ing again this Sat­ur­day, and its amaz­ing founder Sue Tyler (full dis­clo­sure: paid-up mem­ber of the Welling­ton­ista) has decid­ed that you should get a present. Or maybe you. We’ll leave it up to the ran­dom­iz­er to make the ulti­mate call.

On Sat­ur­day, 18 Decem­ber, Welling­to­ni­ans who want to gift in style will be able to buy every­thing from teapot neck­laces, iPad cov­ers, hand-dyed yarn, soap and vin­tage-fab­ric foot rests to orig­i­nal prints and draw­ings for their beloved or that annoy­ing uncle who has every­thing. The mod­ern-day craft show, which is a cult event in the region, fea­tures the best of New Zealand’s crafters, mak­ers, indie design­ers, arti­sans and artists sell­ing their own goods.

For­get giv­ing crap­py mass-pro­duced stock­ing stuffers this year; Craft 2.0 is all about direct, cre­ative, well made and unusu­al gifts that stand out from the crowd. As well as all the stalls to shop at, Craft 2.0 atten­dees can get their pur­chas­es wrapped at the gift-wrap­ping table, learn how to dec­o­rate a cup­cake that Nigel­la would be jeal­ous of and be in to win spot prizes – just for being there on the day.

Take a break from the crowds, make Christ­mas shop­ping an enjoy­ment and treat the fam­i­ly to a trip to Craft 2.0: Hand­made for the Hol­i­days. Craft 2.0 Hand­made for the Hol­i­days is from 10am-3pm. Friends of Craft 2.0 get entry to the fair at 9.30am.

So you want to win $40 in craft­cash to spend, as well as a super exclu­sive Friend of Craft 2.0 gift­bag AND the right to shop ear­ly? Sim­ply leave us a com­ment before the end of the day Fri­day and tell us what you want for Xmas. We’ll do a draw Fri­day night, and con­tact you via email to let you know how you can claim your prize on the day. Wahoo!
