I know it might seem early, but Christmas is just around the corner. That will be clear as soon as Halloween decorations come down and holiday cheer spreads throughout the world!

This year, make it a point of getting ahead of your holiday shopping by purchasing hand-made gifts ahead of time to show people you're thinking of them. And, while you’re at it, give yourself a great little vacay here in Calgary!
 

FESTIVAL OF CRAFTS

Calgary has a thriving arts community that’s always making and creating really cool stuff. Come to the BMO Centre at Stampede Park November 7-10 to take a look at what over 230 artists have made this year so you can find a one of a kind gift for that special someone! Art, pottery, leatherwork, clothing and so much more. And that’s not all – enjoy a delicious treat from various food vendors while you peruse the merchandise, and maybe indulge in a warm helping of luscious hot cocoa or cider!
 

MAKE IT CALGARY

Can’t make it out at the beginning of November for the Festival of Crafts? Don’t worry, it’s not your only chance. You can still make it to Calgary at the end of the month from November 29-December 1 and head to Northland Village to join the handmade revolution! Buy clothing, accessories, art, home decor, gourmet goodies, baby and kid items and other unique treasures that will either make wonderful gifts or special treats to give yourself.

Calgary is known for great shopping. If you want to get to the bottom of your gift-giving list in one fell swoop and recover from your marathon shopping trip, book a room at the Days Inn Calgary North Balzac. Located nearby Alberta’s largest mall, the CrossIron Mills, we’re a great place to stay while offering you a chance to get one step ahead of the busiest times of the year.
