Textile Center’s Holiday Shop

Keep your holiday gifts earth friendly with treasures made from sustainable and local fibers, repurposed materials, and more. The Textile Center’s holiday shop features more than 100 artists bringing apparel, home decor, gifts, art supplies, fiber craft kits, and more for you to peruse. While you can visit throughout December, make sure to check the calendar for extras like demonstrations and chances to meet the makers. On November 16, for instance, the Yard & Yam Fiber Arts Market joins the mix and brings even more craftsmanship with crocheting, sewing, weaving, macrame, and quilting. Every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. until December 24 @ Textile Center, 3000 University Ave. SE, Minneapolis, textilecentermn.org.

Minneapolis Holiday Boutique

Head straight into the holiday season with the help of more than 250 vendors and local artists. This pop-up market in U.S. Bank Stadium has everything you could want, including holiday inspiration, workshops, and shopping. Think fudge and candy, jewelry, beverages, apparel, soaps and body products, art, home decor, and more. Giveaways and performances also pepper the weekend, so grab your friends and get going.

November 10 from noon to 4 p.m. @ Radisson Blu, 2100 Killebrew Dr., Bloomington, foreverbride.com.

Daddy and Me + Mommy and Me Hair Classes
