There’s still time to shop small for the holidays
Shopping small this holiday season is simple at the 2nd Street Market. The diversity of vendor offerings allows you to shop for everyone on your list all on one location – plus treat yourself to lunch and a little gift for yourself.
Here are just a few of the 2nd Street Market’s vendor suggestions for their favorite gift picks:
Marian’s Candles n’ Crafts:
Having been a vendor at the Market for over 16 years, the folks at Marian’s know a thing or two about gift giving.
- Bamboo would be a great gift for the person that might want a little greenery added to the office atmosphere.
- Keyholders are a great item either for a sports fan or just to organize a place to hang keys or like items.
- Door mats are a great gift item for the person that might have everything, great to place at the front door, fireplace, or anywhere in the home, also a great gift for a new homeowner.
- T-shirts are also a great item for the person that has everything. They have many designs that are all made of vinyl (not silk screen) and have sizes available from small to 5x – along with a selection of tall sizes available.
- Garden flags can be a great gift for someone or for yourself to add a little color or just to express yourself.
- Candles! Marian’s offers moisturizing candles, which are candles that you burn like a normal candle and can use anywhere on your body. Use a hot plate, or a candle warmer lamp (which we sell). These candles are great for eczema, psoriasis, mosquito bites, and any type of minor skin irritation.
