This story has been updated with additional events.
Looking for a special holiday gift? This year, instead of going to a big box store or shopping online, why not check out local holiday craft fairs and special shopping events you may not be familiar with outside of Small Business Saturday? Many offer homemade items, treats, and more. Also, see Santa, check out live performances, try interesting food and drinks, and more.
Happy holidays!
