Jonesing For A Unique Gift? Hit Up The Marche De Noel!

2
Already burnt out from holiday shopping? We hear you. Jam-packed streets and ridiculously long lines are enough to make anyone loose their spirit — and stamina. If you're in the need for a little gift-giving inspiration, look no further. The Chicago French Market's adorable Marche de Noel (a.k.a. Christmas market) is brimming with creative prezzies for everyone on your list.

Visiting artisans are selling hand-crafted items like photographs, toys, home decor, trinkets, and jewelry from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily through December 21. And because the featured vendors change on a weekly basis, you can scoop up new goodies upon each visit. While you're there, swing by the actual French Market for other holiday love, such as soaps from Abbey Brown, oils from Oh, Olive!, and
festive cookies from Delightful Pastries — because who has time to bake?
