Holiday markets you will love in NY/SF/DC
Let's face it--the words 'holiday market' may make you think of hot chocolate and holding hands, but they don't really make you think awesome design, art and craft you actually want to gift, much less own.
I love handmade, but I have been to one too many holiday markets filled with things I will never buy. Here are some holiday markets in New York, San Francisco and Washington, DC that will not leave you empty handed. I promise. In fact, you may want to leave your credit card at home and bring a budgeted amount of cash because you will want to buy it all. All the handmade.
I've listed the markets below, which include West Coast Craft, (capsule) Market Square, Parcel Market and Etsy's Handmade Cavalcade, as well as links to each list of vendors showing so you can shop from the comfort of your home.
Happy Holiday Market season! See you on the ice rink!

Besides local designers, this urban outdoor holiday market will have an ice rink, interactive art installation, food artisans and live music. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited about Rock 'n' skate on Friday night from 7pm - 9pm...oh and it's pet friendly!
Shaw Holiday Arts, Crafts and Fashion Market is also going on every Saturday and Sunday in December from 11am - 7pm at 651 Florida Avenue, NW .
I know I am biased, but DC is certainly #winning this season.
