Two unique markets offer holiday gift ideas

The Ottawa area is hosting at least two Christmas markets that will help people to finally finish their holiday shopping.

Beginning this month, The Christmas Market and Fine Arts Sale is taking place on weekends at Watson’s Mill in Manotick. There will be the opportunity for visitors to purchase a variety of items suitable for gift giving. This might include handmade jewelry, pottery, ceramics, and toys. There will also likely be unique Christmas decorations. Another Christmas-related event here is Carols at Sunset and Heritage Christmas Craft Making on December 4.

Another Christmas market that will take place over four days next month is at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. Over 90 exhibitors will be on hand to sell arts and crafts, works of art, clothing, toys, and food such as cheese and bread.

These markets offer the chance to purchase original, handmade gifts that should please friends and family. To advertise these events in the Ottawa area, organizers will probably invest in poster printing services.

The Christmas Market and Fine Arts Sale will be held at Watson’s Mill on weekends from November 19 to December 3. Call 613-692-6455 for more information.

The Christmas Market at the Canadian Museum of History will take place from December 1 to 4. Admission is free of charge. To learn more, call 819-776-7000.
