I am happy that there are so many local opportunities to shop and buy from local makers, artisans, and crafters. Whether you order online, or shop in person at special events, ’tis the season of joyful, conscious and local shopping.
One of my favourite events is the Pride, Not Prejudice Fair (hosted by Ifs, Ands or Buttons) It’s on now (online) until November 6th. Here’s why:
For starters, it’s fully online, with flat rate shipping OR free local pick up (and there are multiple pick up locations so you can find the closest one to you!)
Secondly, the fair is intended to be a more inclusive craft fair so that more makers can participate. There is a sliding scale to ensure access for more, it’s online it’s easier for a lot of people to attend and shop. Here’s some information from their website:
Pride, Not Prejudice is for the socially conscious. We’re for individuals who might be at risk of being called “social justice warriors” and their friends. It is for the community of people who give a damn. It is for folks who proudly wear labels such as feminist, queer, Black, and progressive and those who will stand up for justice and against injustice.
Shop the Fair until November 6
I love the intention of this fair, but I also love the products as a shopper. With over 60 vendors, there’s is something for so many people on your list – from little ones, to teens (grab stocking stuffers!), friends and family and of course yourself.
My cart this year had a lot for myself. HA.
You’ll want to browse the entire website (grab a tea or coffee and plan to spend some time searching!) but here are a few links to items that I have ordered.
Holiday Cards from Chez Louie Designs (Here’s a link to the dumpster fire card I gave out last year haha. I ordered different ones this year)
Any of the Carrot Top Soap Shop bath bombs (there’s a boxed gift set that looks amazing. I ordered the sugar plum bulb)
Gifts or Ornaments from Forgetbknot. I ordered some of the trees for gift add ons!
Just like last time, I ordered more Rude Raspberry Jam from Fckin Delicious. There are more jam and pickle options too! So good.
I LOVE and need candles this time of year especially for my bath time. I can’t wait to check out the Down to Earth one I got from Enfematic. I almost ordred pumpkin pie too.
I didn’t get more this time, because I still have some but check out Baccanalle’s products. Their signature spice blend is great to have in the pantry!
If you have younger children, the items from Aurora + Holly look so sweet! There’s a Gingerbread House puzzle that I would have absolutely wanted when my kids were little.
There was more on my list, but honestly, you’ll want to just browse the site to find so many amazing products!
The Pride, Not Prejudice Fair ends on November 6 at 6 pm EST
