Shoppe Artisan to Offer Unique, Handmade Products

Find a unique gift for everyone at Shoppe Artisan’s second annual holiday event. Hosted by Market Maker Events at the Cobb Galleria Centre on Friday, Dec. 9 to Sunday, Dec. 11, 2016, the holiday market will feature handmade products that cannot be found at the mall.

“According to multiple national surveys, about 80 percent of holiday shoppers purchase gifts at malls,” explained Lori Kisner, Shoppe Artisan founder and president of Market Maker Events. “Skip the department stores this year, and ‘shoppe’ uniquely instead.”

Like a mall, Shoppe Artisan is designed to allow shoppers to complete their holiday shopping under one roof, but the similarities stop there. Instead of the same old stores, the market showcases a curated collection of distinctive items chosen from thousands of independent makers throughout North America.

“We have narrowed it down to the top 120 artists, about a third of which are based in Georgia, including Alpharetta, Marietta, Roswell and Sandy Springs,”continued Kisner. “Do not give the same boring gift this year; instead, give something that will be cherished forever.”

During the event, shoppers will find high-quality and innovative products. These include home and garden goods, fashion accessories, beauty and wellness items, gourmet culinary ware and eats, clothing and footwear, children’s products, fine jewelry, office and tech accessories and so much more.

Stand out from the crowd of gift-givers this holiday season. Attend Shoppe Artisan on Friday, Dec. 9 from noon to 8 p.m. or 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10 or Sunday, Dec. 11.

Advance tickets for adults are available online for $8.00 or can be purchased for $10.00 at the door. For tickets and additional information, please visit shoppeartisan.com.
