Hohokus shoppers stop by gift market

An organization that provides support and services for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities is hosting an event that may serve as a secret weapon for Hohokus residents hoping to kick start their holiday shopping.

New Concepts for Living is a not-for-profit organization, and its Artisan Market will be filled with a wide selection of handmade goods. Shoppers can find a wide selection of unique gift ideas, and the proceeds will support the organization’s programming.

The five-hour function will be held at 765 NJ-17 in Paramus, and the attendees will be able to browse in climate-controlled comfort. Parking will be free, and there will be items ranging from pottery, artwork, and home decor to bath items, beauty products, and fiber arts. Hostess gift ideas, including specialty foods and candles, will be in the mix as well.

A pop-up sale held in the lead-up to the winter holiday season can be a highly effective fundraising idea. A poster printing provider can supply materials that help to build public anticipation for a special event.

New Concepts for Living has announced that its Artisan Market will open the gift-buying season for another year on Sunday, November 8. Everyone is welcome to drop by and show some love to their area's artistic community between the hours of 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.
