Giftables Show Submissions
Event Details
Giftables: A Holiday Pop-up will offer shoppers high-quality, handcrafted items at affordable prices. Buyers can purchase and take items immediately, making this an ideal event for holiday shopping. This event is more like a shop than a traditional art show. Visitors will be looking for affordable gifts they can purchase on the spot, so we encourage you to submit items that will be an "easy yes" for shoppers, with pricing that ensures they sell quickly. Though the maximum price is $200, as demonstrated by previous Giftables sales, most shoppers will be seeking gifts priced between $5 and $50.
