You know what they say about gifts…
It’s the thought that counts.
Well, nowhere will you find more thoughtful gifts than The Circle Craft Christmas Market in downtown Vancouver.
The Circle Craft Christmas Market is the premier showcase of excellence in Canadian craft and design. As Vancouver’s largest Christmas market, this holiday shopping experience gives gleeful shoppers the chance to browse, buy, and gift from an incredible assortment of Canadian handmade goods, including fashion accessories, fine jewelry, home, and garden décor, woodcrafts, handmade ceramics, sculptures, art, natural body care, fashion, gourmet foods, and more.
A Vancouver tradition for locals and visitors since 1972, Circle Craft is now fifty and thriving. This year’s market features 275 vendors; that’s more makers (and more gifts) than any other holiday market in Vancouver! Some highlights from this year’s line-up of artists and makers include:
Canvas Candle Company
Canvas Candle Company creates gorgeous clean-burning scented candles using their proprietary blend of fragrance and essential oils. Each candle is hand poured from small, four-pound wax batches, ensuring the highest quality scented candle you’ve ever lit inside your home.
3/4 oz.
Prepare to have the best cocktail (or mocktail) of your life! 3/4 oz. is a young Montreal-based company that crafts design-forward artisanal cocktail syrups in small batches. An alternative to commercial products, their syrups offer a refined and fresh taste courtesy of natural ingredients, making for the perfect gift for any holiday party host or cocktail enthusiast on your list. Cheers!
All In The Wild Photography
All in the Wild is a Canadian-owned and operated company featuring the artwork of the award-winning Canadian wildlife photographer, Jason Leo Bantle. These breathtaking nature-focused prints celebrate wildlife in its pure, untamed glory, featuring your favourite animals as you’ve never seen them. The company aims to respect and protect nature by sharing its beauty with the world. As a result, a percentage of the proceeds from every sale is donated to protect wild lands.
The best part of Circle Craft is that you have the opportunity to buy directly from the people behind each and every product. You can view this year’s full artisan list HERE.
Unlike other markets, Circle Craft vendors have been hand selected by the market’s jury according to their unique discipline, vision, and skill. This ensures that every mug, every artisanal chocolate bar, every sculpture, and every candle has been carefully crafted to the highest quality by someone that has dedicated their lives to crafting and making their own products by hand.
Now really, what’s more thoughtful than that?
