The Makers and Shakers Market is hosting a special Christmas themed gift market to help shoppers get ahead of their crazy Christmas shopping.
The two-day market will feature more than 100 handmade stalls, holding home-wares, food, and drinks, described by founder Emma Morris as the perfect one stop for the festive season.
“We are partnered with the Australian Made Campaign which was very important to us, we want people to know the event is hand made in the true sense,” she said.
Emma said she is proud to be the only market in Victoria with this partnership.
“It is very unique and it’s a great point of difference for us compared to other events.”
In addition to unique handmade items, Emma also values quality food and drinks.
“We will have a lot of tastings of new products for people to try, some of those include chilli oil, chocolate, spirits and more,” she said.
“Of course there will also be food for people to eat, they will be able to have lunch and sit out on the great space that Seaworks have outside overlooking the view of the city.
“There is a very fun atmosphere to the event which will come to life with DJs who will be playing vinyls.”
Emma said she has tried to make the market a place to come and buy Christmas gifts for all.
“This way you can give the shopping centre on Christmas Eve a miss,” she said.
“Some of the makers have made their products with Christmas in mind, creating candles and Christmas decorations, as well as generic gifts suitable for all.”
There will also be workshops for all ages and awkward portraits.
The event will be held on Saturday, November 11, and Sunday, November 12, at Seaworks, from 10am- 4pm both days.
