Shoppers wanting to buy a Christmas gift for someone who loves to be different should take a
flight to Toronto for the One Of A Kind Show at the Direct Energy Centre from November 23rd to December 3rd.
Originally founded in 1975 by a group of artists who could not find anywhere to sell their goods in the run-up to Christmas, this popular crafts market sells a wide variety of unique, handmade items especially designed for the festive period.
Shoppers can choose from an extensive array of jewellery, cards, toys, beauty products, furniture, decorations, clothes and more, while being certain that the intended recipient will not receive a gift quite like those at the show.
The very first
Toronto market consisted of wares sold by 80 artists and has since expanded to take place twice a year, as well as sprouting an offshoot event in
Chicago.
With hundreds of artists at the show - some travelling thousands of miles across
Canada just to be there - there is sure to be something to tempt everyone, whether it is a present for a loved one or a treat for themselves.

One Of A Kind Show website.
