thinking about the influx of choices for this years christmas shopping has my head spinning. it’s always a fun time at the mall on a cold winter night (especially when they are open extra late for those eager to shop), but it takes some thought and effort to think of the perfect gift… even if you are shopping for yourself. a group of local artists and designers (one of them shauna luedtke, of the slip offs fame) have come together and opened fairgoods, an online shopping experience where the maker is at the forefront, and every, carefully curated item has a story. my immediate favourites were some of the jewellery pieces on the site, from industrial designs and heavy materials to ethereal and delicate pieces, the selection is always fluid and changes day to day so you get a fresh pick every time. visit www.fairgoods.com for your last minute christmas gifts or to take a break and treat yourself. xoxo
