There is only 40 days till christ­mas.

See did i scare you? i scared myself look­ing up that one, but it’s also why I’m a lit­tle relieved that Krist­mas knack is on this Sat­ur­day Novem­ber 16th. Because it gives a girl a chance to go shop­ping for christ­mas presents, but it’s still far away enough from christ­mas that i can jus­ti­fy a few lit­tle presents for myself. Also Knack offers the gold­en Craft Fair essen­tials of Cof­fee, Food, enter­tain­ment, eft­pos and kids activ­i­ties. I’m not a par­ent but any par­ent will tell you  the best craft fairs are ones  with kids activ­i­ties because kid free time makes shop­ping fun as opposed to fast.

Knack oper­ates as a school fundrais­er and also a great place for both emerg­ing and estab­lished mak­ers to show­case their cre­ations. Knack is such a delight­ful cel­e­bra­tion of hand­made even their poster is a one off orig­i­nal cre­ation.

Per­son­al­ly I know I’ll be unable to resist pick­ing up a lit­tle some­thing from Things Unseen or restock­ing my cup­board with treats from Fix and Fog, but I’m also present hunt­ing and Knack is usu­al­ly where I find the answer to ‘what do I buy for  (insert per­son who is impos­si­ble to buy for here)’

So why not spend Sat­ur­day get­ting a lit­tle local retail ther­a­py get some of your Christ­mas shop­ping out-of-the-way at Knack, then sit back and enjoy Decem­ber.

 

But if you don’t nev­er fear, there are some oth­er stress free events com­ing up that have that nice mix of shop­ping and fun in ear­ly decem­ber.
