Another season of gift giving is upon us, searching high and low for the perfect presents can be daunting to most. Find unique and special gifts in your area at local artisan and craft fairs. Thoughtful, handmade and often inexpensive, these gifts may be just the thing you are looking for! Most of the fairs are free and even if you are not looking for gifts they can be fun to walk around, taste and admire the holiday cheer.
